Most of this chain is about doing an FAA written test in Europe, but does anyone know if there are any FAA DPE’s in Europe?
I’m thinking of perhaps an American who is living in Europe for a few years and has DPE credentials. The FAA web site of DPE’s is organized by FSDO, so it appears that a DPE in Europe would need in any case to (still) be associated with an FSDO.
The specific case is someone with a full FAA ATPL MEL only, who needs a flight test in an SEL to get it added to his certificate so he can fly an N-reg SEP in Europe. As far as I can tell, he’ll need to go to the US to do it.
See http://www.schaircraft.com, website of Tom Houghston. I did my IR flight test with him.

@chflyer, I suggest you get in touch with Michael Ladstätter at http://euram.at/ who may be able to help. He’s also located relatively close to you (LOWI).

Funny. That points back to

Tom Hughston is the only FAA examiner in Europe for airplane ratings. IIUC there is another one for helos.
Adam House. But he can do non helo paperwork as well. Very nice chap.
Visiting FAA DPE examiners were blocked some years ago. I did my FAA CPL c. 2008 and I was one of the last ones, give or take 1 or 2 other attempts. A sensitive topic, with threats of litigation etc. The less said the better! I would rather not delete posts.
Many thanks for the quick replies.

Timothy, do you have contact info for Adam House? Feel free to send me a PM if you don’t want to post it publicly. I assume by “non helo paperwork” you mean performing and signing off an airplane SEL flight test.
Adam House is OK but he never did piston checkrides. If he does them now, that is good news.

Yes, that’s what I meant.
