Pass rate?

Think "initial pass rate" and it becomes easier.

Number of students who pass first try divided by the number of students you sign off for a checkride.
 
(x/y)*100.

x being students passed on first attempt, y being students recommended for checkrides.
 
If you sign a kid off only for his retake and not for the orginal failure, does this count as well?

I believe that answer to that is no at least as far as using your CFI certificate.

61.187 (a)(2)(i): A record of training students showing that, during the preceding 24 calendar months, the flight instructor has endorsed at least 5 students for a practical test for a certificate or rating and at least 80 percent of those students passed that test on the first attempt.

The reg states that the student passes on their first attempt not the first time a particular CFI signs them off
 
Yea, when dealing with the fsdo they wanted only the ones who passed the first time. But it go me thinking, what if you sign somebody off, and they never take the test? They chicken out or whatever it might be. Do you think that would be included in the total sign offs? which pretty much would count as a bust if that was the case.
 
i had a student do the oral portion of the checkride but because of weather that day they never went flying. and he never rescheduled yet either, its been about 9 months.

so does that count as a failure? he will have to do the entire checkride over again.

The sign-off, which is the 8710, never got to the FAA, so, no, it would never be seen, or counted.

A 'bust' is a "Notice of Disapproval", which he did not receive, so that doesn't count. When you sign another 8710 Recommendation, that will be his first attempt.
