See how it works

One checkride, from first request to final filing.

Watch a request come in, get accepted, collect its documents and deposit, move for weather, and finish with DMS and IACRA entries prepared for you to sign.

The problem

Right now, your practice runs on your phone.

Requests come in by text, email and voicemail. Documents show up the morning of the ride. And every checkride ends with an evening of typing the same details into DMS and IACRA.

Requests get lost A text from a CFI, a voicemail, an email from a school. Tracking who asked for what is a job of its own.

Rides fall apart on the ramp A missing endorsement or an expired test report ends the ride before it starts, and the day is gone.

Late cancels cost you the day Without a deposit, a cancellation the night before is a slot you can't fill and a fee you don't collect.

Filings follow you home DMS and IACRA entries stack up after every ride. Fall behind and a post-activity report goes overdue.

Built with examiners

We know the checkride is the easy part.

DPE Portal started with working examiners who were tired of running a practice out of their text messages. We're building it with them, and founding examiners decide what ships next. The flying stays yours. We take the admin.

We're opening DPE Portal to a small group of founding examiners first. They use it free during early access and decide what gets built next. Join the founding examiner waitlist

Made for one-person practices Most examiners run their practice alone. DPE Portal does the office work a solo practice has no one to hand off to.

Your designation, your call You set fees and policies, choose which rides to accept, and sign every filing with your own credentials. We never ask for your DMS or IACRA login.

Filings in the FAA's order DMS pre-approval, IACRA and DMS post-activity, assembled field by field so you can copy, sign and mark done.

The plan

Get set up in one sitting.

STEP 01 Set up your practice Add your designee number, ride types, fees and cancellation policy. We walk through it with you.

STEP 02 Share your booking link Send it to the schools and CFIs you work with. Requests that still come by text or phone go in the same queue.

STEP 03 Accept rides and get paid Applicants pay a deposit and upload documents before the ramp. Your filings are prepared after every ride.

What's inside

Documents before the ramp Verify or reject with a reason they see word for word.

Deposits and payouts Fees per ride type, with your policy enforced.

Weather in two taps Offer new dates. Moving for weather is always free.

FAA filings, prepared In the order the FAA asks. You enter and sign.
