I am filling out an application and want to get some feedback on this.
I went to a 141 flight school which has intermediate stage checks prior to the end of course check ride.
Here is the question that the application asks?

Have you ever failed any proficiency check, FAA check ride, IOE or line check?

Would an intermediate stage check failure count for a "proficiency check?"

Furthermore, if the 141 school had examining authority, would a failure on the end of course check count as an "FAA check ride."

thanks
