Meet Captain Randy Ostman
– Your Designated Pilot Examiner
My love for aviation began at 5 years old, mesmerized by the cockpit of a commercial airliner. Today, I’m honored to serve as an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE) while flying as a 737 Captain for United Airlines.
With certifications as a CFI, CFII, MEI, and ATP, plus leadership roles at Global Medical Response (training 250+ pilots), I bring a unique blend of real-world expertise and instructional clarity to every checkride. My goal? To ensure you’re prepared, confident, and ready to excel—without the stress.
