DPE 5 hour requirement
Posted: Mon Apr 19, 2010 2:57 am
Paul,
In Order 8710.7 The Sport Pilot DPE Handbook it stated that a DPE of Sport Pilot was required to have 5 hours in the "set" before being able to do a practical test..(I think)
That order seems to have been replaced by 8900.2 that does not seem to say anything about this subject, only that "Candidates for designation as a Designated Pilot Examiner(DPE) must be technically qualified and must hold all pertinent category, class, and type ratings"
Can you clarify this issue please??
