Anyone had issues scheduling a 6 month 297/299 or any check ride with the FSDO operations inspectors not being training current due to funding cutbacks. We have trying to get a King Air 6 month check for two months and our currency runs out 11/30. Our POI has said this is happening at all locations. Just looking for more info to understand what is going on. Thanks.
 
its called end of year and they spent all their money in their budget

Except it's not the end of the year - the federal government year end is September 30. They are operating under the continuing resolution, since Congress still hasn't managed to pass the FY15 budget.

The "4040" Flight Program the Inspectors use to remain current, and thus conduct check rides, was temporarily suspended. The created a situation when most FAA Inspectors were not current and therefore could not conduct .293, .297, or .299 checks.

The program is back up and running now and Inspectors are getting current as fast as possible. By the end of December, almost all Inspectors will be current.
