<p>The FAA is requesting approval from the Office of Management and Budget to introduce a survey to collect information about the agency's designated pilot examiner (DPE) program. Pilot comments are invited to address the following topics: whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the FAA’s performance; the accuracy of the estimated burden; ways for the FAA to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collection; and ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of the collected information. The request to conduct the survey results from the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024, in which Congress mandated that the FAA enhance its oversight of DPEs by, among other things, disseminating a survey to track the performance and merit of such examiners. If the survey is approved, the FAA will ask pilots approximately 12 yes-or-no questions regarding DPEs’ level of professionalism; the suitability of the exam environment; the content of the exam; and the duration of the ground portion and the flight portion of the exam.&nbsp;Comments on the request are due by Feb. 27, 2026.</p>
