DPE App replaces the binder. Applicant records, ACS-coded oral and flight grading, postflight debriefs, and one-click audit exports — all in an app designed around how a Designated Pilot Examiner actually works a test day.
From the applicant's first submission to the signed audit record, DPE App keeps the whole exam in one place.
A public web form where applicants submit their information before the checkride — you review and import it with one click.
A dedicated intake link for your DPE practice, ready to hand to instructors and applicants so they can submit ahead of the exam.
Built-in, certificate-specific POA scripts — eligibility checks, the ground and flight scenario, disqualification grounds — ready to walk through on exam day.
Grade oral exam ACS task elements directly as satisfactory/unsatisfactory, or use the question-based method if you prefer — organized by official ACS code, with a built-in timer.
Task-by-task satisfactory/unsatisfactory grading organized by ACS area, with inline tolerances shown for reference and its own flight timer.
Generate a formatted Word document of the full checkride record — every task, grade, and comment — for FAA audit purposes with one tap.
Store certificate, aircraft, instructor, and scheduling details per candidate, with autocomplete on repeat fields and one-tap duplication for repeat applicants.
Fees billed, paid, and owed per applicant, plus a statistics dashboard for pass/fail rates, commonly missed ACS codes, and monthly volume.
Automatic cloud backup on launch, with manual push/restore across devices and multi-device conflict protection.
Every screen below is the actual app, in use.
Every task is organized by official Airman Certification Standards code, so nothing gets missed and every finding is traceable back to its source. Grade by task or by question — your choice.
Each ACS area and task is laid out for quick satisfactory/unsatisfactory grading in the airplane, with the flight timer running alongside.
Pass/fail outcome, total oral and flight time, and every scored comment roll up into one summary — ready to walk the applicant through immediately.
Pass/fail rates, the ACS codes applicants miss most, and monthly checkride volume — plus a financial report of fees billed, paid, and owed.
