DPEs must fail 20% of students?

Yeah, I guessed around 200 if that's their main gig. Up to 2 a day. I used the 10 because it was used earlier in the thread.

If they want to flag and evaluate a DPE because less than 10% fail, OK. But evaluate not just arbitrarily shut down. (Yes, it's the FAA arbitrary is what they (sometimes) do.

They don’t arbitrarily shut them down...they arbitrarily re-evaluate them. Shutting them down would be based on performance.

And that's ok.

Really? I would think a glider DPE with 20 a year is would be pretty good.

True...there are always exceptions.
