I am currently 3-4 lessons shy from taking my Instrument Rating Checkride. Anyone out there have any recommendations for me one who I should take it with?
 
Heard Will Wheaton is pretty good.
 
I'd also recommend Bill. Good guy and fair examiner.
 
That's who I would like to take it with, but I heard it takes a few weeks to get him and unfortunately I don't have that time as the school I'm flying with has a deadline for me to get my instrument.
 
Just email him. Last time I spoke to him (last month), he said give him a week notice. Maybe he can get you done faster.

I took my instrument ride with Dennis, pretty straight forward, not as bad a guy as most made him out to be.
 
Joan Bertles is a fantastic DPE. I flew with her for my PPL out of PNE. I know Gary liked Einstein but I'm not familiar with Mr. Wheaton

I don't think he is a bad guy at all, just want to experience meeting different dpes, could even possibly make connections, who knows

Not sure if your school lets you work outside the Philly FSDO but I had Jay Auslander of the Teterboro FSDO for my ATP and he was a super chill dude.
