If he was your DPE, you must retake checkride
 

This really sucks...

Is there a story for public consumption?
CVG FSDO have a bad reputation?

He's been handing out ratings for twelve years, and they want to re-examine everyone now?

The rumor in the Facebook groups was that he allegedly gave out some ratings without giving an actual checkride.

We obviously don't need examiners handing out licenses to people who don't meet the standard but it is pretty rediculous that they let this go on for 12 years.

What a nightmare it would be to have two weeks to go take a check ride you passed 10 years ago.

I'd be like sure I'll retake my private, just come observe me in the 777 sim on my next recurrent.

Wow, I agree we don’t need people out there flying that didn’t pass a test but pretty ridiculous to give someone 2 weeks to prepare for a check ride they may have taken 12 years ago. Guy used to be the chief flight instructor at Sporty’s too. Not good.

Surely some legal savvy pilot/lawyer is involved in this and is filing some kind of injunction with some kind of judge/pilot.

Man it’s raining good news these days.

More likely to go after the DPE personally.
With this sort of liability the DPE rates should be going higher than they already are. The FSDO employees should have to reapply for their jobs if it is this drastic.
