Hi everyone,
One question. One of my students failed his private oral and his multi ad on ( twice) Is this considered 3 failures or only 2 ( as per certificate)
Thanks
Hi everyone,
One instructor told me that checkride failures are on certificates...so If I fail twice the private and twice the commercial; then I have two failed checkrides. Is this correct ?
Thanks
That said, he was totally within his rights to bust me on hour 7 of the oral.
I busted the initial Instrument because I did something very, very stupid. I busted the initial CFI because (IMHO) the Fed had been passing too many people and my number was up. That said, he was totally within his rights to bust me on hour 7 of the oral. In any case, I've never heard anything about it at any interview, ever, including two 121s, and I have (knock on wood) been offered a job from every interview I've ever been lucky enough to get.
Don't make excuses, be earnest and frank, but also don't sweat it.
I was recently talking to some ERAU guys that all had MANY failed check rides. One guy had 8 failures. They said that it was very common in their class to fail multiple times due to the examiners that ERAU used (in house). Can anyone confirm that this is true?

This doesn't seem uncommon with 141 schools. I think cultural incest is a big part of it.I have heard that, but cannot confirm. Some pretty "split hair" stuff that would otherwise be a de-brief conversation with a reasonable DPE. A friend going through Riddle did his IR and Comm there and didn't mention any problems. Another friend there just soloed there, so well see how he does.
Assuming the check rides were done under part 141, most of them would probably be "progress checks" per the FAA, and wouldn't show up as failures in the records that airlines get from the FAA.
Generally, the progress checks in the middle of a 141 course (pre solo, pre cross country, etc...) aren't reported to the FAA (they're recorded in the students records with the school, but that's about it), and unless there was an 8710 filed, the FAA generally doesn't know or care what happens on progress checks.
