Anthony Jack Jobusch

Anthony Jack Jobusch is a veteran aviator and FAA Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) based in Chandler, Arizona, operating under the Scottsdale Flight Standards District Office (FSDO). Before transitioning to aviation full-time in the late 1990s, Jobusch maintained a successful corporate career as a Vice President for the Broadway division of Macy’s department stores. He eventually traded his executive responsibilities for a career in flight training, becoming a staple of the Phoenix-East Valley aviation community at regional hubs like Chandler Municipal Airport and Stellar Airpark.

With decades of flight experience, Jobusch holds Commercial Pilot and Flight Instructor certificates with Single-Engine Land and Glider ratings. As a DPE, he specializes in evaluating candidates for Private Pilot and Flight Instructor (CFI) certificates, where he is highly regarded for his mastery of stick-and-rudder skills and soaring techniques. His safety mindset is underscored by a notable 2006 incident in which he successfully managed a total engine failure in a Morrisey 2150A due to a loss of oil pressure. His ability to execute a safe forced landing with only minor injuries highlights the high standard of proficiency and emergency preparedness he demands from his applicants today.
