Purpose of This Notice.

This notice provides guidance to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) aviation safety inspectors (ASI) on program policies and procedures related to Specialty Aircraft Examiners (SAE), which are created as a new Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) type. SAEs include those examiners that were previously National Designated Pilot Examiners and Flight Engineer Examiners (NDPE/FEE), Experimental Aircraft Examiners (EAE), Sport Pilot Examiners (SPE), and Sport Pilot Flight Instructor Examiners (SFIE). Additional designees may be added to the SAE type if future needs require examiners that do not fit into the traditional DPE types.

Note: This guidance is considered to be supplemental to FAA orders and Federal regulations.
