Hi,
I'm working on my multiengine rating and training in DA42. Great machine!
I am ready for the check ride, but apparently in NorCal there are only so many DPEs authorized to provide practical tests in this type. So far I have found Rob Davids, Richard Batchelder, and also Travis Baker up in the Oregon. All super busy, it's pretty hard to get a date anytime soon.
If you are aware of DPEs that can provide check rides in DA42, please share. West coast preferred but ready to travel elsewhere on fairly short notice if someone's available in less than a few months.
Thanks!

Re: DA42-authorized DPEs
I don't have any more leads, but I used Travis Baker and didn't have too much trouble with scheduling. But that was a couple of years ago at this point.

Re: DA42-authorized DPEs
Cleo Hodges in St Thomas, USVI is authorized in the DA42. I did my commercial, MEI, MEII, and ATP ratings with him, flying from Puerto Rico (where I live) for all rides.
Probably too far for you, but if you want to be connected let me know.

Re: DA42-authorized DPEs
Skip Moshner and Howard Wolvington in the Seattle area both do check rides in DA42s.
