Academic Survey On Practical Test Provision / Delays Underway by WMU Student

A student from Western Michigan University (WMU) is working on his thesis discussing current industry concerns of shortage of practical test provision or challenges in this system. The data from this survey will be completely de-identified from submitters and used for academic purposes, but the data results will also be presented in a paper that will, when completed later this year, be shared with industry members.

If you are a DPE, CFI or flight training provider, or an applicant who has sought or completed practical test events in the last couple of years, please help this student gather feedback and information to make the data robust.
