True Airspeed

As a Check Airman for a 141 flight school, there is usually more to the story. My bet is he failed a PTS task by not meeting the published standard. But during the debrief, the check-airman gave a whole list of tasks to help the student (they usually do have a passion to teach). From my experiance the student/instructor will go telling everyone about the nitpicky items and forget what that the real reason is that the student nearly put it in the ditch.. or whatever the case may be...

Just my suspicion, but who knows.

I can assure you this student is very honest. He was extremely confused. I think he remembered the question because he was so frustrated and upset that he got it wrong, he didn't understand what the answer was.

Plus...being PTS standards pre solo would be quite an accomplishment... In my opinion.

My experience as a former check airman at a 141 University suggests this is an accurate statement.
