Pilot Examiner's Handbook

FAA 8710.3D December 2004 edition

* This FAA Order is mandatory for Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs) and a great reference tool for Flight Instructors (CFIs) and Training Center Examiners (TCEs). It provides guidance and prescribes procedures for all checkrides - Private through ATP - and explains examiner responsibilities, limitations, procedures and privileges.

Flight instructors will find the detailed instructions on completing the application for certificate candidacy, and the FAA's guidance on checkrides an excellent aid for helping to prepare their students for the checkride. Used in conjunction with the Practical Test Standards, this book makes the flight instructor completely prepared to qualify students for their checkride.

This guide provides all the criteria for becoming a DPE or TCE, along with the details of issuing checkrides. Evaluation procedures of TCEs operating under 14 CFR Part 142 are also included.

Of course, this is just the beginning! We also have an excellent book that describes everything that happens Beyond the Checkride
