Annual DPE Symposium 2025

 

Annual Designated Pilot Examiners Symposium to Return in 2025 for #4 Edition

Bringing DPEs together for the fourth time, FSANA will again be hosting a DPE conference in 2025. This year's DPE Symposium will be held in Dallas, Texas, on Wednesday through Friday, November 12, 13, and 14. As soon as the venue is confirmed, we'll let you know and open registration.

DPEs, flight school operators, chief flight instructors and anyone serious about becoming a DPE this annual event is for you. The goal of the symposium continues to be an effort to bring DPEs together to help standardization, help individuals who might be interested in becoming DPEs learn more about the process and potential, and bring FAA staff together with attendees to share information about FAA efforts, DPE practices, and currency.

For all you who were at our Symposium in October 2024, or either of the previous two, we're sure you'll want to return for this 4th edition. If you've never had the opportunity to attend, it's time to see what all the noise is about.

New this year: the last day of the conference is being crafted with the help of the FAA to be an event-within-an-event that will meet 24-month DPE currency requirements that are otherwise completed in an online training session. The expanded goal of the FSANA DPE Conference is two-prong: First, to make each yearly event, an in-person opportunity to share information. And second, at the same time allow attendees to meet their every-other-year training requirements from the FAA for examiner currency.

FSANA looks forward to providing more information as hotel details become available. For now, keep November 12-14 open in your calendar and plan on joining FSANA and your fellow DPEs from around the country in Dallas.
