"Bradley Sullivan has always been professional and fair with me and my peers. I did numerous checkrides from Private Pilot through my CFI ratings with him. He has always been as accommodating as he can be and fair in his judgement. I always felt like I learned something new going through checkrides with him, whether it was approaching a manuever or topic a different way or by challenging me in unique ways. He is very professional and provides a very welcoming environment on the ground and inside the aircraft."

"I had Mr. Sullivan for my CFI checkride. He was very professional, straight forward, very personable, wants you to succeed and puts you at ease. Made sure that the knowledge and skills are there, but overall it was probably the most enjoyable checkride that I have taken. I had nothing but a great experience with him and would recommend him to anyone for a checkride."

"I’ve had the opportunity to fly with Bradley on multiple occasions in several different aircraft, and he is, without question, the best private pilot I’ve ever flown with.

His knowledge, skill, and confidence are evident from the moment you step into the aircraft. Whether conditions are smooth or more challenging, Bradley remains calm, composed, and professional, which gives everyone on board a tremendous sense of confidence and ease.

Beyond his exceptional flying ability, Bradley is friendly, personable, and communicates clearly throughout every flight. Safety is obviously his top priority, and his attention to detail and sound decision-making consistently stand out.

I trust Bradley completely and would not hesitate to fly with him anytime, anywhere. I give him my highest recommendation to anyone looking for a skilled, dependable, and professional pilot."

He is fair, professional, and shows grace when appropriate without lowering the bar. I felt like I was evaluated honestly and respectfully throughout the entire process. Very fair DPE, and I would highly recommend him."

"I use Bradley Sullivan for my Cfi initial through Venture West out of Falcon Field. I thoroughly enjoyed spending the long hours of that check ride having Bradley as my Pilot examiner. He is very thorough but he understands for this check ride. We are going to be the mentors of the next up-and-coming aviators so he wants to make sure that you’re safe and you know what you’re talking about. I want to say thank you for Bradley for taking the time getting me through that check ride and on to the finish line… until the next

Thank you
Looking Forward to cross paths down the road"

"Bradley was a very thorough and fair DPE. His knowledge, skills, and abilities for aviation was at the highest level I could ask for. Bradley debriefed the check ride with personal experiences and facts to support his conversation. I would recommend Bradley as a DPE but caution candidates to be very prepared as Bradley is very knowledgeable."

"Bradley conducted a fair and thorough checkride, but charged a $650 fee because we had to reschedule the flight portion due to weather (a storm came through the airport after the oral portion). This was in addition to the $1,000 fee (private certificate). This policy is unreasonable and predatory."
