Testing with Marco has been a great experience when obtaining my A&P License; Very easy to get along with and making the testing experience feel comfortable and losing the nervousness I had when testing. Marco is the prime example in which other DME should strive to be!!!

Review for Marco Carpio
Marco was the Designated Mechanic Examiner (DME) who administered my Airframe
and Powerplant exams, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. His deep
knowledge of both airframe and powerplant systems was immediately evident, and he
conducted the testing process with professionalism, clarity, and fairness. Throughout
the oral and practical portions, Marco created an environment that was both respectful
and focused, which helped ease my nerves and allowed me to perform at my best. He
took the time to explain expectations clearly and ensured everything was aligned with
FAA standards. It's clear that Marco not only knows the material inside and out, but also
genuinely cares about helping future A&Ps succeed. I’m grateful for the opportunity to
test with someone so experienced and supportive.

I took my oral and practical with Marco Carpio, and although these tests can be stressful, Mr. Carpio was a consummate professional and kept me level headed, all while keeping me on track. He kept the environment calm. His demeanor and testing area gave me the boost of confidence I needed to complete my oral and practical’s. I can’t recommend him enough for his calm, level headed, professional approach that allowed me to complete my FAA General, Airframe and Powerplant Oral and Practicals  and receive my A and P Certificate

I tested for my Airframe & General at Moon Works Aviation in April of this year. Marco, my DME, was very professional, patient and kind. The facility was very clean and organized, all necessary references were present and easily accessible. He allowed myself and some colleagues to tour his facility prior to scheduling our testing which helped us to prepare both mentally and physically for the possible tests ahead. Even having to retake my Airframe practical, he remained encouraging. He made a very stressful process very easy and I truly appreciated having him as my DME. I look forward to testing for my Power plant at Moon Works Aviation in the next coming year! I highly recommend him for any future A&Ps! 

I recently completed my O&P exams with Marco, and I can’t say enough about how positive the experience was. Everything was well structured and conducted in a way that made the process smooth and straightforward. His professionalism and organization exceeded expectations. 

While testing can be intimidating and stressful, Marco's calm and steady demeanor helped ease my nerves throughout the process. The level of respect and fairness he showed throughout the duration of the test was appreciated.  His approach reflects his expertise and also his genuine care for setting applicants up for success. 

August 2025

I recently took my airframe and general tests with Marco. The
overall experience was pleasant and professional. Before the test
Marco made the expectations very clear so that there was no confusion
for me. However he kept the test environment friendly, which helped
put me at ease. The facility was also quite nice. Everything was
organized and layed out systematically. Due to this I was able to
focus on the test and not have to worry about figuring out where the
tools were. Overall I would recommend him to anyone who needed to
complete these tests. He definitely gets a 10 out of 10."

Thank you again for testing me. I really enjoyed it. December 2025.
