I'm not sure who does that. <br /><br />And my book release date is August 24th... but not announced until we get a bit closer. Life keeps happening with the family and demands. But this means 0300 work sessions. Moving closer. And editor standing by for the final edit next week! <br /><br />Thank you for the comment!

Question: Is Dr. Summers one of those rare DPEs whose FAA authority allows him to examine pilots & issue type-ratings for *any powered flight machine*? Years ago I read that there but a handful of DPEs who have this authority. From the other side, who the heck examines and certifies for type ratings on rare, unusual, obsolete aircraft, perhaps one-off examples of aircraft large enough to require a type rating? (I certainly don't need one, but how does a pilot become rated to fly large, obsolete aircraft?) Great post about a great pilot and yes, Alaska Airlines is fortunate to have Dr. Summers on their staff. Regards, -C.<br />P.S. Does your new book have a release date? I'm looking forward to an exciting read...<br />Cedarglenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468497492189762095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-352377410388410195.post-7121848563756913222013-07-06T10:15:37.522-07:002013-07-06T10:15:37.522-07:00Pete, Thank you so much for the comment!
