At least at my school, if you were going to fail a ride, you wanted to get it over with on a stage check.
It’s been a while so bear with me.
Under Part 141 a yearly standardization flight is required for flight instructors. The Chief FI or Asst Chief can conduct these flights.
It’s not a pass or fail “ride” in the eye of the FAA.
So a made up internal “pass or fail” ride has no footing in any of the regs.
RTFQ
Have you ever failed a checkride ? ( Means for certificate or rating issue)
Have you ever failed an evaluation flight? ( Could be anything civilian or military)
