Yes, normally.
But if you rewind and repeat a manuever, that does get recorded on the checklist (supposed to anyway).
I don't think that's a failure, it's part of the PC process. If you have to repeat a bunch stuff and run out of time, then you fail. I have been asked at an interview "ever failed a PC?" No. "ever had to repeat a manuever?" Yes.
But a PRIA request would probably return those records, so they would see that you repeated something. It seems unlikely that an interviewer would consider that a "checkride failure" since nobody else in the industry does.
