Ok, here is what specifically happened on the checkride:

The day of the checkride, I was explained that here is what is going to happen on the checkride.

1. 2 Precision Approaches (One can be coupled, and one couldn't)

2. 2 Non-Precision checkrides (One can be coupled, and one couldn't)

3. V1-Cut

4. An Emergency

5. 3 Landings

During the non-precision approach, I was getting vectors for it. He kept the vectors very tight into the airport, and when I called for the wx & in range check list, I asked the PNF to build the approach into the FMS, and the check airman, told us not to use it. (Let me add that all through training, we were told to use the fms no matter what, because it adds to your SA) so I was a little confused why he would take it away. Well anyway then we were exchanging flight control for the brieft, and he started to give us vectors for the apporach, and I asked for delayed vectors - I was told unable, then I asked to hold over the XYZ vor, and I was told unable, and then I asked for the full procedure approach - once again told was unable. So during this time, we had not briefed the approach, and I hadn't seen the step down on the vor apporach, and I proceed to cross the vor, turn inbound, and descend down to MDA, and I got a terrain warning message, proceeded to go around, and my PNF messed up the call outs, and the go-around was a disaster. Let me also state that the PNF has just failed their checkride before me, and they were acting as captain for my ride.

Well I was told that I failed, and we never completed the whole checkride. We had only completed Steep Turn, Stall, Area Departure, V1-Cut, Single Engine ILS, 1 - Landing, APU fire on the ground. All those mentioned items I had passed without problems. The check airman told me to go back to the hotel and await a call in the morning from management.

When I got back to the hotel, I asked the hotel to make a copy of my training folder. Which I still with me today, and each of my comments it said my attitude was positive, and always showed improvement, and also there was one that said great work ethic, things are really starting to come together, and the extra studying shows.

Next afternoon, I met with management, and there mind had already been made up. I was told since I failied one of the sim sessions, and I passed it the second chance no problem, that there were sending me home, and I could reapply to the company in our year.

So basically I return back home, and I went back to instructing for awhile, until I could figure out what my next move was, and I would like to get out of instructing and move out to the airlines as I've always dreamed of being an airline pilot.

One of my friends told me that it was a very smart idea to take a copy of my training records so I could show a future employer that I had a great attitude, I struggled on somethings, but I studied hard, and it was always reflected in my comments.

Any advice on this would greatly help. I am on the west coast, and I trying very hard to stay where I live, and find a job that will allow me to commute.

Cheers.
