Gleim DPE
Gainesville, Fl., April 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Gleim Aviation, a leading name in aviation education, is thrilled to announce the resounding success of the recently launched Gleim Digital Pilot Examiner™ (Gleim DPE™). Unveiled at the annual SUN ‘n FUN Aerospace Expo in Lakeland, Florida, the revolutionary AI-powered test prep tool was met with widespread acclaim from industry leaders for its potential to transform how aspiring pilots prepare for their FAA oral exams.
David St. George, the Executive Director of the Society of Aviation and Flight Educators (SAFE) and an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner for 28 years, lauded the innovation, stating, “The Gleim DPE is going to change the way pilots study for exams. I have been a flight instructor for 28 years, and I’ve been waiting for something like the Gleim DPE.”
St. George emphasized the critical nature of the oral exam, adding, “The big problem on flight tests is the inability to vocalize knowledge. The Gleim DPE will test knowledge and make sure that it is comprehensive. Get this tool and you’re going to do a lot better.”
Jim Campbell, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Aero-News Network, echoed this enthusiasm: “Where was this 50 years ago when I needed it? This is a total game changer.”
The Gleim DPE, powered by Call Simulator, leverages advanced artificial intelligence to simulate realistic oral-exam scenarios, allowing students to engage with Otto™, Gleim Aviation’s digital pilot examiner. It delivers a realistic, interactive experience that provides the opportunity to develop knowledge and practice delivering it in a conversational format, mirroring the actual oral exam component of the FAA Practical Test, commonly called a “checkride.”
Gleim Aviation President, Garrett Gleim, made several presentations and media appearances throughout the SUN ‘n FUN event. His engagements, along with Ryan Jeff, Part 141 Chief instructor at Gleim, included interviews on Aero-News Network’s Morning Brief, Sun n’ Fun Radio, and a special segment with David St. George of SAFE, highlighting the transformative impact the Gleim DPE will have on pilot training.
“The positive reception of the Gleim DPE has been phenomenal,” said Garrett Gleim. “It’s rewarding to see other industry leaders recognize the potential of this tool to improve pass rates on the oral section of the practical exam. Before our DPE launched, it was hard to simulate an exam environment where you could practice verbalizing knowledge. However, emerging technologies gave us this opportunity, and Gleim Aviation is excited to be at the forefront.”
The Gleim DPE has been widely accepted as a revolutionary approach to studying for oral exams, offering a solution that can reduce test-day anxiety and improve exam performance. Attendees at SUN ‘n FUN had the opportunity to experience the Gleim DPE first-hand, with many praising its realistic simulation of the oral examination process.
