cost of sport pilot checkride?

Thanks for replys I've gotten so far. I'm located in St Marys GA just over
the border from Florida.

I need to qualify what I am looking for a little more. I have the
opportunity to do tailwheel checkouts but I need an instructor rating. The
simplest way I can do that is to be a sport pilot instructor. The practical
test is the same as the sport pilot with a little instructor tasks added.
I've got plenty of time logged and I've passed both the FOI and sport
knowledge tests. The one guy I know in Ga who is a designated examiner
doesn't do sport pilot.

I 'm interested in cost because I can not get over the increases in flying
costs since I was last active and want to have a ball part figure. If its
too high, it would not be worth my time since tailwheel checkouts are low
demand in my area

would be. any info would be appreciated.

Where are you (city/state)? What plane do you have access to?

The FSDO should be able to supply an examiner or access to a DPE that does
the Sport Pilot Instructor. We have a DPE in our local FSDO district here. I
can ask him what he charges.

Are you already a CFI?

Nope I'm not a CFI. And when I finally get my sport pilot instructor
certifcate I won't be any closer to a CFI. The difference in requirements is
considerable.
