Prepare for your next step
Start with the information that matches your certificate, rating, or certification request. Clear preparation helps you and your instructor identify what is needed before an appointment can be confirmed.
01 · Confirm your service
Review Jason’s examining authorizations to identify the service you need. If your situation is unclear, contact Jason with your certificate or rating and preferred testing location before making arrangements.
02 · Prepare with your instructor
Use the pilot resource library and your examiner-assigned scenario alongside the current FAA Airman Certification Standards. Read the complete assignment and clarify questions with your instructor.
03 · Request an appointment
Review the fees and cancellation policies, then check the scheduling requirements. Have your FTN, aircraft details, instructor information, endorsement, and IACRA application ready.
