Ashley Snider

Designated Pilot Examiner

Hello and welcome! If you have reached this website, you are looking to take the next step in your aviation career and/or path.  I am so pleased that you are allowing me to be a part of this. I have a passion for aviation and a passion for flight instructing. I was born and raised in northern California, but my aviation career has allowed me to experience flying in many different parts of the country as well as be a part of several different types of flight training.  I am excited to share in the joy that a new certificate or rating brings to an applicant as they attempt to further their aviation experience.  I thank you in advanced for allowing me to be a part of this.    

Scheduling is Easy!

Scheduling with a DPE can be a daunting task, as we are very busy!  To take some of the ease out of it I have provided an online scheduler below.  Please choose a date that will work best with your schedule.  I require AT MINIMUM a 48 hour cancellation notice.  This will allow those applicants that may be on a standby list to get a checkride slot.   A non-refundable $100.00 fee will be collected at the scheduling of the exam. This fee will then be used towards the final fee listed below. This fee ensures that the applicant will not cancel less than 48 hours prior to the exam and it holds a date.

Chose from one of the following choices:

Once you have scheduled online I will receive the appointment and you are booked for that date.  If you need to change or modify your schedule please let me know.  I will email you a week in advanced to confirm your scheduled appointment and issue you cross country information.  If at this time I do not receive a response confirming your appointment, I reserve the right to cancel . If there is no response I can only assume that you will not be attending.

*Please note that all schedules are subject to change.  

*****All applicants will be required to send me the following at least 48 prior to the exam:

A scanned copy of all pertinent documents (Photo ID, Pilot Certificate, Medical certificate, FTN number, and written test results including Acs codes of missed questions.)

In addition all aircraft logbooks must be brought to the exam.
