So in part 141 we have what are called in-house check rides, where your check ride is broken up into stage checks or end of course evaluations. Once you complete all these checks, i.e. (Oral, Sim, Flight), you submit your 8710 for the certificate in which you are applying for and it goes in as a first time pass. Regardless if you in-completed or had to re-check for one of the items listed above.
To clarify, I failed my "in-house" oral for my initial instrument rating. However on the FAA's end it still shows as a first time pass and there is nothing on my record that states a failure...
Does Delta ask about these in house checks? Even though on my FAA record it states my check ride as a first time pass?
Thanks in advance and I apologize if this was confusing at all.
You need to disclose this on your app. They basically ask if you have failed ANY kind of evaluation EVER in any sort of flight training, and in this case you have. The good news is this will in no way affect your ability to get hired, as I would venture that most applicants have some form of negative mark on their record (speeding ticket, failure, etc). Delta has hired people with FAA checkride failures, so a stage check oral ultimately is no big deal. Just be open about it on your app, and if you get the interview be prepared to honestly discuss what happened and how you learned from it.
