There is always the possibility of rescheduling due illness, weather, etc. If this were to happen, we will work together to reschedule accordingly.

In cases of cancellation, if the applicant cancels more than 72 hours before their checkride, there is no cancellation fee. Within less than 72 hours, cancellations are only acceptable in cases of valid illnesses and weather. Nerves are not a valid reason.
