ATP checkride, failed, then passed same night. Career advice.

Most APDs are failing the engine on the missed from a non precision. The autopilot is off at MDA. Leave MDA and 100 feet from landing, visuals go away, go around, throttle up, and bam one engine fails.

Ah, I see. Makes sense. I had a few precision-missed approaches (AP engaged) where the instructor canned one on the second segment. Surprise!

I honestly have no idea when the econ cruise is for our airplanes, as that is never how we operate them. I'd have to get the book out and figure it out.
My airplane burns ~250 a side for 285 true at FL250, and our other turboprop, the Be20 burns 400 a side at the same altitude.

Hmm, seems a little high. We burn 300 per side for 280 true at FL250. Maybe we just have a super slippery airplane. :)

Question for people at other airlines: Are your FOQ Checkrides (ATP rides) train to proficiency or just pink slip and you're done?

Its an ATP Checkride. It won't be train to proficiency anywhere. Its just like you went and did your ATP ride with a local examiner. I agree with you guys that the company only giving you an hour is a little bs but you do know whats required going in to it. Study like you would for captain upgrade, you are after all getting a PIC type and your ATP.

Doing Max range power on our 200 we could get it down to 200 or 190 lbs per side. The guy I flew with was all about doing this to save fuel until I pointed out to him that he was putting way more time on the engines which was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy more expensive than gas.

180 kts TAS at FL250? yeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeejet

Uhhhh, The dash burns around 450lbs per side at 150knts in a hold. Pretty sure the only time you get down to 200lbs an hour is at flight idle on the ground. But I wouldn't really know.

I was asking because supposedly according to someone in the training department there are regionals doing TTP for FOQ. They said it was FSDO dependent.

You would think that but you'd be wrong. Our training department is doing the FO types and ATP rides as a normal PC where two items are retrainable.

Pretty sure that's not... allowable, or whatever the word is. Wonder who thought that one up.
