Corrections & content removal
DPERank pages are about real examiners, so we take accuracy seriously. If you are an examiner — or anyone named on the site — here is how to get something corrected, answered, or removed. Every request reaches a human moderator.
1. Flag incorrect profile information
Every examiner profile has a “Flag incorrect info” link. Use it for wrong identity facts — name, location, FSDO, designee number, function codes, contact details, or an AI-drafted bio. Tell us what's wrong; a moderator checks the flag against FAA public designee records and corrects the profile. AI-enriched fields are labeled unverified until a human confirms them.
2. Report a review or gouge
Each review has a “Report” control. Reported content is re-checked by a moderator against our editorial policy and removed if it isn't a first-hand account, contains personal attacks or private information, makes provably false factual claims, was submitted with a conflict of interest, or violates test security. Gouges are moderated before they ever publish or feed a study guide.
3. Claim your profile and respond
Examiners have a right of reply. Use the “Are you this examiner?” link on your profile to claim it. A claimed examiner can correct and verify profile facts and respond publicly to reviews — often the best answer to a review you disagree with is your side of the story next to it.
What we remove — and what we keep
We remove policy-violating content and correct factual errors, usually within a few days of a report. We do not remove reviews solely because they are negative: a genuine first-hand account of a checkride, including a failure, stays up. Identity facts come from public FAA designee records; being listed on DPERank is not something we charge for or remove listings to avoid — but if a profile is wrong, misattributed, or duplicates another examiner, flag it and we will fix or merge it.
Escalation
If a flag or report doesn't resolve your concern, claim your profile and raise it there — claimed-examiner requests go to the top of the moderation queue. Legal requests should identify the exact page and content at issue and will be reviewed by the site's named editor.
