The DESIGNATED PILOT EXAMINERS MODEL CODE OF CONDUCT (DPEMCC) offers recommendations to advance safety and professionalism in the conduct of practical tests for pilots. In the United States, Designated Pilot Examiners (DPEs) act as representatives of the FAA Administrator. Internationally, DPEs are representatives of their respective civil aviation authorities, performing certification activities on behalf of those authorities. Likewise, other examiners, such as airline check airmen or military evaluators, provide the training and testing processes of their organizations.
The Code presents a vision of excellence for DPEs. Its principles complement and underscore legal requirements. The Code of Conduct will be most effective if users have a firm grasp of designee requirements as well as a commitment to professionalism as evaluators. It is intended to assist in evaluating the core principles that help aviators build a foundation of flight safety, proficiency, and wisdom.
