Glider DPE for SDF BWG LEX area

Hello All,
I am looking for a glider DPE in the central Kentucky area. In searching the FAA designee database, the individual authorizations are not delineated. Will need ongoing support from whoever is available as this is not a “one time� checkride. Rather, something on the order of 6 checkrides a year. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Call your local FSDO and inquire who is the Glider DPE in their geographic area. If there isn’t one, and you can show a need, they might/ should designate one.

Yes, of course, good advice but there is a reason why I posted the question.. My local FSDO point of contact for DPEs is out until the middle of September. Thought I’d ask the question here and maybe get a suggestion during this time.

Anybody else?

Speak to the FSDO manager.

I am a glider DPE from the Dayton OH area. I do travel or you can fly from Red Stewart Airport in Waynesville, OH. They have a 2-33 for rent.

Hi Robert, Thanks very much. I see you listed for the FSDO in the area. Will contact you in the next week or so. I will check out the Waynesville operation as well. Very helpful, thanks again.

Franklin Burbank is at Bermuda High in SC and travels frequently to give checkrides. DPEs are no longer geographically constrained.

Hi Paul,
Yep, I’m aware of that but it seems that many aren’t too interested in traveling very far on a regular basis. I know Burt C. will travel a significant distance but I need someone in the area for multiple rides.. Kentucky, unfortunately is large void for glider ops and designees.

Don't count me out . . . I just conducted 16 checkrides across the midwestern states, 7 more scheduled later this month in the western states.

Applicants can also travel to historic Marfa (Landmark of Soaring #15) in southwest Texas for a FREE Glider Checkride for PVT, COM, "Initial" CFIG and CFIG renewals or reinstatements this winter or anytime, year-round, near the Davis Mountains and Big Bend National Park.

Let's discuss details and dates, here, there and everywhere!

Just giving back . . . just because.

Burt, I compliment you on the "Just Giving Back", just today I read the "History Of Miami Gliders, it brought back some great memories. Bob
