UK based FAA IR check ride - where?

A few friends in France and England have been trying to get a reply from this business

8710-1 Application Chklist

but there is no reply, emails or telephone messages, now for a long time now.

The conditions on the www site seem hard, getting all those letters from the civil aviation authority. How can a pilot get all those letters?

Are there no designated examiners going here from the USA ?

Try asking CamFlight - Advanced Avionics and Recurrent Flight Training - Welcome to CamFlight as I beleive they have an FAA IR examiner.

Tom is still working, he did some checks for me late august and was supposed to do some next week but they were cancelled.
He should be back and available in September

It is now widely known that TAA did have a (female) visiting DPE some months ago but she was stopped by the FAA from coming here, after a very short time.

Maybe there are more recent developments? Having done the last of my FAA checkrides a few years ago I no longer keep a close eye on the options.

Interesting requirements on that website. I wonder what is behind it all.

Tom Hughston is the only DPE for Europe. He spends a lot of time in France so if your willing to go over there and take a checkride, I am sure you would get a slot quicker. He is back up and running by the way.

The FAA Airmen application is now all online IACRA, not sure how if affects Euro DPEs or not:

If you have to go to France, you may as well jet off to New York or elsewhere east coast. Flights are cheap and the flight back from Detroit a few weeks ago was only 6.5 hours....oh and my flight test was only $200.
