Introduction

Hello, I'm Rick D'Angelo. I'd like to introduce myself as a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE). My purpose on this web page is to provide some guidance to applicants, and showcase the pilots that have shared their love of flying with me (PHOTOS).

Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award

I have been awarded the Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award

April 2022
The Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award was instituted by the United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to recognize pilots who have practiced safe flight operations continuously for 50 or more years during the course of their aviation career.

Pilot Check Rides

I’ve administered check rides for over 35 years; as an air carrier Check Airman, an FAA Inspector, and a Designated Pilot Examiner. I conduct check rides for Private Pilots, Commercial Pilots, Instrument Airplane Ratings, Airline Transport Pilots, and Flight Instructors.

Administrative Certifications

I also provide administrative certifications for; Flight Instructor Renewals; Ground Instructor; Military Competency Conversions; Second-in-Command Type Ratings; Supervised Operating Experience, and many others.

It's my goal to assist you with your airman certification.
