Created in 1939 the DPE program was created to designate qualified individuals to conduct pilot examinations on behalf of the Federal Aviation Administration.

After close examination, the FAA, authorized DPEs to provide check rides based on FAA Practical Test Standards. Pilots seeking airman certification must complete a Check Ride with an FAA-approved DPE.
