As I started IFR training in the RV?10 this fall, I was aware that some DPE's wouldn't perform an instrument check ride in an RV/experimental thanks to discussions on this forum previously. However, I under estimated this limitation. My CFII has been unable to find a willing DPE near SLC despite calling several in the area...
I have found one DPE in LA who is able to help out (again thanks to the wealth of knowledge in VAF and its community). He's only about 4 hours away at RV speeds but would involve much more time and expense, likely having to stay at least one night there.
My question -- Anyone know a DPE closer to Salt Lake City who would be willing to do an instrument checkride in a well-equipped -10?
It has a standard Garmin stack plus GRT screens. It's been awesome for training and I can't wait to knock out the check ride soon! Worst case scenario I have to fly down to Los Angeles near my alma mater prior to my deployment, but my wife gave me a funny look when I mentioned this!
