If you are taking a checkride for a license or certificate and you fail the oral or flight portion it will count as a failure on your Oklahoma City file. It is the same as taking a ride with a DE but you are doing it in house with the same reporting standards.
If they ask if you Rhea
have ever failed a stage check on an application and you say no. They will glance through your logbook and read the descriptions of your flights around your stagechecks. It is usually pretty easy to tell if they goofed it up or not.
If this is the case then it must have changed. It used to be a part 141 school would either recommend or not recommend a person for a rating. If you failed everything only the school would know about it and only the faa if the requested access to your file. The only way a fail would count with thee faa was with a de or a part 61 ride.
Are you sure you are not confusing a part 142 school?
