15-Day Booking Policy

The 15-Day Booking Policy ensures you take your Practical Test when you are FULLY READY to take your test.  When you are ready, please reference the calendar below to see Robin's availability.

Two-Month Outlook

Availability Released the Last Week of Every Month.  Schedule changes may occur weekly, and the calendars will be updated in real-time.
24-Hour Notice Bookings will only be used for continuances and retests.
WEBSITE UPDATE:  Applicant Info Sheet is now a fillable PDF.  Also, Applicant Checklists are now available online!  Go to the "Downloads" link at the top menu, or click the folder icon at the bottom of this page.
POLICY UPDATE:  Effective immediately, I will post the next month's availability only once a month during the last week of the month.  That doesn't mean availability is locked.  I am learning that bookings can be quite "fluid" due to multiple factors.  I will update the website multiple times a week with availability changes.

These calendars are not interactive, but do look nicer on a tablet or computer.

Robin Leabman

DPE

Background

Robin Leabman started flying at the age of 14 back in 1990, and acquired his Private Pilot and Instrument Rating in high school.  Robin instructed all ratings, including Glider, Tailwheel, and Towplane while in college.  Throughout his aviation career, Robin has flown freight, air ambulance, global ferrying, charter, corporate, and the airlines.  He holds type ratings for LR-JET, GLF4, GLF5, G280, B757, B767, and the L-39 Albatross.

Robin holds all Airplane, Helicopter, and Glider instructor ratings.  He holds ATP in ASEL, AMEL, and Helicopter.  He also holds ASES and AMES at the Commercial level, though he plans to "Level Up" both of those to ATP within the next year.

Robin is proud to be a volunteer pilot for The Pink Jet.

Fun fact:  To date, Robin has taken more than 30 FAA practical tests.
