Pictreed Posted October 6 Report Posted October 6 Does anyone know a DPE in the area of North Dallas, or anywhere, that would do my commercial in my M20E? Thanks, Tim
Parker_Woodruff Posted October 6 Report Posted October 6 I know a DPE in northeastern FL that might offer to help. 1

Vance Harral Posted October 23 Report Posted October 23 While the interface isn't user-friendly, you can get a list of all DPEs with Commercial Pilot Airplane Single Engine Land qualifications at https://designee.faa.gov/designeeLocator. Select Designee Type=DPE from the pull-down, click the Location Search radio button, select "Texas" from the state, and select DPE-CIRE-ASEL from the Authorizations, scroll down and click "Search". That'll give you a list of everyone in Texas who can give you the practical test. You'll have to ask them individually if they'll give a test in your M20E, but while there are a few who won't, most will... assuming you can get a hold of them (which is difficult everywhere, essentially all DPEs are continuously overwhelmed with cold call requests). You can search by City in addition to state, but unfortunately there's not an option for "anything within 100 miles of this city", only for a specific city: Dallas, Fort Worth, Wichita Falls, and so on. This is pretty impractical, hence the suggestion to search all of Texas.
