Practical Exams
Practical Exams or checkrides can be traumatic events for everyone, so Leslie Henninger, a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) for the DuPage (IL) Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) has put together a number of presentations describing what a DPE looks for when giving you a practical exam.
Ms. Henninger has more than 9000 hours of instruction time and is based out of Midway airport. She provides her services throughout the Chicago area.
She has graciously allowed us to link to three recordings made at seminars she's given. If you prefer not to download them or want a larger screen, you can come to the office, where they're available for loan for free.
Ms. Henninger can be reached at (630) 323-0429.
