By the way.
You can protest a checkride under certain circumstances.
For instance the examiner asked you to perform a task which is not to be tested on.
Examiner also cannot make up their own tolerances.
A checkride is a choreographed dance that is rehearsed and clear to all parties.
They are allowed to give you “realistic distractions”.
Could be anything from a hellacious tailwind to a minor malfunction that requires attention and a change in STAR or runway change.
An accident or incident is never caused by a single event it’s always a chain.
The sim instructor (when you’re rehearsing) and the examiners job is to string a couple of these links in the chain together.
Purpose being is to find out if you have the situational awareness to break the chain.
If you keep stumbling along while the examiner is connecting the links......
If this would have been a real flight you would have been invited for coffee and cookies with the Chief Pilot and your POI. That’s a fail.
