STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:

The Designated Pilot Examiner Advisory Group is organized to establish policies and procedures in order to improve standardization and quality of the process of certifying pilots, flight instructors, and pilot examiners for the overall benefit of improving safety in the flying community. In addition the purpose of the group is to improve the communication process between the pilot examiners and the FAA and local flight training organizations for the more timely update and improvement of the Practical Test Standards so to be more realistic and provide a better understanding of their goals.

MAKE UP OF THE GROUP:

The group is made up of four committees listed below:

The membership of the DPEAG shall be comprised of at least 6 DPE'S from the local FSDO.

The committee chairs will be examiners with at least 2 years of experience as an examiner.

At least one representative from the FSDO will be requested or designated to attend the meetings.

RELATIONSHIP OF THE GROUP WITH THE FAA:

The group operates only as an advisory committee to the FAA and other DPE's. The group was established at the request from the FAA FSDO for volunteers from the DPE community to help establish and maintain a higher quality of pilot testing and standardization. This provides the FAA and the DPE a vehicle to work more closely together to meet our common goals.
