FAA Invalidates 140 Checkrides In Alaska - AVweb

While getting to schedule a check ride is woefully inadequate, it doesn’t justify being a rogue DPE. If 140 applicants were administered checks that did not meet ACS Standards, there is doubt as to whether these airmen are qualified to hold the privileges of their certificate. That requires a reexamination under US 49 Code 41709. It’s the law, not an arbitrary or capricious decision on the part of the FAA, a FSDO, or an inspector. Flight reviews and CFIs do not have the authority to apply reexamination to determine if an airman should retain their certificate or have it revoked. The FAA is being fair. Violating the law would be unfair to you, to me, and the Public.
