After you pass, they'll send in your 8710 (I don't know if it was printed before or after your stage). You wait a few weeks, and then pick up temp from the desk. That's one of the biggest downsides to going here, you don't get your temp right after the ride
Anyways, back on topic. If you fail the ride, you just redo the training and try again. Nobody gets a pink slip, and since they don't send in the paperwork till after the fact, does that mean it's impossible to "fail" a ride when going through the university? (and I'm not talking about the university's initial pass/fail rate, that's somewhere around 90%, apparently)
As far as your FAA records go you did not fail the checkride. You only "fail" if you get the dreaded pink slip. It will not show up on your FAA record, only the part 141 training record. When I applied at PNCL I told them about my failed stage checks here at UND because I was unaware that those failures were not on my FAA record. When I was talking with the interviewer he asked if they were university stage checks, when I told him yes he said he didn't care about them, just if I had ever gotten a pink slip. Some applications ask if you have ever failed a checkride OR a stage check, in that case you would have to disclose any part 141 stage checks, otherwise only if you got the pretty pink sheet of paper.
