What is a checkride and who conducts it?

A checkride is the FAA practical test you take to earn a pilot certificate or rating. It combines an oral examination and a flight test to verify you can apply your knowledge and skills under the standards outlined in the Practical Test Standards (or Airman Certification Standards). The test is administered by a designated examiner (DE) or an FAA examiner who is specifically authorized to conduct these evaluations. This isn’t a classroom evaluation, an online self-test, or an unproctored oral exam; it’s a formal, in-person, proctored assessment conducted after you’ve completed the required training and endorsements. The result is either certification or a rating once you demonstrate the necessary competency.
