Boise area examiner

[Cervelorod]

I'm within 3-4 weeks, based on my schedule, for taking my commercial check ride.  I don't have a DPE close, and am trying to find an examiner.  I have family in the boise area and that would be ideal for me.  Does anyone have a recommendation of a DPE in Boise, Meridian, or Caldwell area?  I am taking it in my M20F.

 

thanks,

Rod

Don't know if you'll find a recommendation or not but here is the complete list of examiners.

I'm not sure which FSDO you're in but hope this helps.

*Edit*

Boise area is "NM11"

looks like you have 11 options. Is your instructor not recommending someone? I always suggest going with an examiner your CFI knows the test of so that you know all parts going in.

[M20F]

Have you asked your CFI for a reccomendation?

The guy he used to use has retired and he hasn't sent anyone for a check ride in a couple of years.  The DPE that the other FBO uses put my buddy through a 7 hour PPL check ride.  I'm afraid a commercial ride might take 2 days...

 

I saw that list, but wondered if anyone here had used an examiner who has at least been in a mooney before.

 

thanks

I did my commercial, CFI and CFII check rides in my Mooney with Dick Miller in Caldwell, Idaho. He's a thorough, but fair examiner. I think my commercial exam was about 2 hours of oral and just over 1 hour in the air.

Who's the examiner that gives 7 hour PPL check rides?
