Default Failing too many times on PPL practical test

Hi,

I am a student pilot planning to get CPL. I failed too many times on my PPL flight check. Is it possible to let airliners not know about my failing records before? I currently still dont have any license yet.

Jack

The FAA documents your pink slips and will be pulled with PRIA when you apply. Obviously lying and withholding information could be grounds for automatic termination if they find out.

Not to be negative, but how many times did you fail? If this is an indicator of things to come, this might not be the right career for you. Pilots are constantly tested on what you know, almost every year.

It takes determination and hard work. Possibly consider a new CFI depending on what you failed on. Maybe your instructor is not holding you to high enough standards.

What do you mean by "too many times"? How many times have you failed your PPL checkride?

Doesn't sound like a promising start to an airline career.
ATC is hiring, you may want to explore that before spending large sums of money on flying.
