Booking/Admin Fee
$500 deposit required for scheduling. Balance due upon arrival for test. If you arrive for checkride and paperwork issues occur that cause delays, if I am unable to

POLICIES:
P a y m e n t
I accept cash (USD) and cashier’s check only. I do not accept credit cards or personal checks. Depsoit paid via VENMO.
Out of Area Tests
Tests outside my service area require individual consideration. These are handled on a case-by-case basis.
Testing Area
If I’m meeting you at a designated airport, you must provide a private area free of distractions. I provide my own internet and printer.
Retest Fees
The posted fee schedule applies only to retests for applicants who received a Notice of Disapproval on a previous practical test from me. Applicants seeking a retest after receiving a Notice of Disapproval from another examiner will be charged the full fee for the Practical Test regardless of tasks already completed on the first attempt, unless otherwise specified.
Cancellation Fee
The FAA requires that I provide a 24 hour minimum notice for a test. If you cancel your test in less than 24
hours, your deposit will be forfeited.
Continuance Fees
In some cases, I will not charge a fee to continue the test (within 60 days) in the event that a Letter of Discontinuance is issued. See the Avoidable/Unavoidable reasons below:
I recognize that sometimes, despite the best of intentions, issues which may cause a discontinuance are simply out of our hands. Therefore, I do not charge to continue a practical test at a later date (within 60 days of the Letter of Discontinuance) for the following reasons:
-Unforecast weather
-Maintenance issue develops during the checkride
-Unexpected illness
-Other reasonable circumstances athe Examiner’s discretion.
In my experience, I have found that the vast majority of discontinuances are avoidable. Unless other arrangements are made, it is the applicant’s responsibility to cancel the practical test in advance if there are concerns over weather or other factors.
In the event that a Letter of Discontinuance must be issued, I will charge a “continuance” fee for the following reasons:
-Weather is not suitable to the applicant despite checking forecast day prior, morning prior, etc.
-Airman presents unairworthy aircraft (issue detected after start of practical test)
-Applicant chooses to discontinue for non-urgent personal reason
-Others – at examiner’s discretion
Rescheduling Fee
A rescheduling fee may be charged due to the following:
The airman’s logbook entries do not demonstrate that he/she has met the aeronautical experience requirements for the desired certificate or rating
Applicant arrives without required documents including the aircraft maintenance records, proper endorsements, or identification
Applicant presents an unairworthy aircraft with an easily avoidable airworthiness issue
