When I first started to answer, I felt that a check ride for a private certificate or instrument rating (properly equipped) in an experimental was clearly acceptable. But now I've fallen back to about 98% certain. Will have to do a little research.mdredmond said:Guys -
I know I could find this with some Googling, but as always, it's easier to ask here![]()
I know you can't take a PPL checkride in an RV, but can it be used for the IR or CPL checkrides?

Mel is correct. The only thing I can add is that the regulations require DUAL controls and that means brakes, flight contorls, and engine / prop controls. If the examiner cannot work your throtle / mixture / prop, then you cannot use your experimental for a checkride.
