DPE in CA/OR/WA/NV or AZ

[jrwilson]

Anyone have a lead for a DPE they would recommend for a commercial check ride in CA/OR/WA/NV or AZ?  Bit of a shortage in northern CA.  doesn’t need to be Mooney specific. It’s for my commercial student at work and it will be in a Cessna 210.

Thanks!

In 2016 I needed a commercial check ride and couldn’t find a DPE. I was traveling to Hillsboro  OR on a regular basis, so I called the flight school up there (Hillsboro Aviation) and asked if they knew a DPE. They connected me with their chief pilot who was a DPE and he agreed to do it in the evening 4 days later. So I flew up there and did my commercial check ride in the dark.

Yes. Very fair. I don’t remember his name exactly. Mike B, I think.

It is called Hillsboro Aero Academy. It doesn’t look like he works there anymore. It wouldn’t hurt to call and ask anyway.

I called, sounds like there’s been changes but thanks for the suggestion!
