Christopher Allen Thresher is a Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) based in Manchester, New Hampshire, specializing exclusively in rotorcraft. He conducts Private, Instrument, and Commercial helicopter checkrides for candidates across New Hampshire and the wider New England area. His FAA examiner authorizations cover a range of piston and turbine helicopters, including the Robinson R22 and R44, the Bell 206 (including LongRanger L3/L4) and Bell 407, and the Hughes/MD 369 (500 series).
Please note: Thresher is a rotorcraft examiner only and does not conduct fixed-wing (airplane) checkrides. Candidates preparing for a helicopter practical test can expect an evaluation conducted to FAA standards by an examiner whose work is dedicated to rotorcraft operations and training.
