Thank you both for your replies. No, I’m definitely not a quitter, but I am an investigator. Since Spirit doesn’t count rotor time, I was really hoping they wouldn’t hold a rotorcraft failure against me. I didn’t find what is was looking for on the company website, so I threw it out to the experts on this forum. I’m relieved that you are both in agreement, and thank you both again for that.

The failure was a result of misjudging when to enter a 180 degree autorotation, which caused me to miss my spot. (There was an audience, so no second try). I did one retraining ride and nailed the maneuver on my next attempt. The only other FAA checkride I’ve taken since then, was my fixed wing ATP. No issues with that at all.
