And I don’t see any difference between a check ride failure and a new hire oral failure. So trying to downplay it as only a new hire oral failure as being not a big deal could be the reason you busted it in the first place.
Spoken like a true person who didn’t have to deal with it lol and I’m glad you think I failed because I didn’t take it seriously. Sort of a broad statement. Psa prepared us relentlessly to pass the exam by teaching us certain things. I only got a couple questions on those subjects. My sim partner along with about 10 others in class also did not pass so I guess we’re all just a bunch of entitled people. So after I failed,,,I had to take training the next day based on all the stuff I didn’t get asked on the first exam. The next day I retook it and the examiner cut it 15 mins short cause it was clear I was good. Sort of odd isn’t it?
Examiner: what’s the lowest visibility an FO can take off?
Me: 1800rvr
Examiner: explain
Me: at 1600rvr or 1/4 mile the captain has to do it.
Examiner: ok. Well what if the rvr was 1605 or 1610?
Me: well that’s not reported so I wouldn’t know if it was that.
Examiner: I didn’t ask what was reported. I asked what’s the lowest you can take off
Questions like that seem like a totally legit reason to bust someone….
