About Brad
Welcome to Flying Circus Aviation! I'm Brad, an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner serving the North Texas area with over 15 years of DPE experience.
As a DPE, I conduct practical tests for Private Pilot, Instrument Rating, Commercial Pilot, Flight Instructor (CFI), Instrument Flight Instructor (CFII), Multi-Engine, and Multi-Engine Instructor (MEI), and ATP single and multi certificates and ratings.
My goal is to ensure every pilot meets the highest standards of safety and proficiency while making the check ride experience as smooth and professional as possible.
