A traveling DPE may come in handy if needed in a pinch
Don
Hi folks!
My name is Edward Winchester I’m a traveling Glider DPE with ground launch (Winch) and (Self-Launch) motor glider endorsements. I am a relatively recently retired middle school MST teacher. I am 58 years old and have been flying gliders for 45 years. I became a DPE to help my club, the Adirondack Soaring Association of which I am a founding member and the current vice president. Over the last year I was asked by the FAA if I might be interested in traveling to do check rides. I hadn’t considered it. I found the idea intriguing and that news spread quickly by word of mouth through the Northeast and Southeast. I was contacted by several clubs and commercial operators and have been actively conducting many check rides on the East Coast. There are a few of us out here that travel as necessary, not to impinge on other local DPE’s, we are more a “go to in a pinch” type operation. I would just like to pass along my website and offer my services in the event that you run into a situation where I could be of service. I can also be utilized as a glider instructor on a limited basis.
Happy Soaring!
Edward Winchester
