For Designated Pilot Examiners

Less back-and-forth. More control.

Most examiners aren't short on demand — they're short on time. Skyfarer gives you a single place to publish only the availability you want, screen who reaches you, and keep your contact details private. You decide what to accept, and what not to.

Who it's for
Designated Pilot Examiners across the ratings and categories you're authorized to test — whether you're actively seeking applicants or simply want a calmer way to manage the demand you already have.
You'll list under Flight Instructors, Schools & Clubs › Designated Examiners

We get it

Already booked solid? This still helps.

If you already turn checkrides away, listing isn't about more inquiries. Set your status to limited or closed so applicants know where you stand, let their details come to you so you can screen at a glance, and stop fielding the same questions over and over — all while keeping your contact information private.
