I'd like to think the FAA would realize that a retest is the same applicant for the same rating. If they counted retests again then true..I'd have 11/9/7 signoffs-total pass-1st time pass..mathematically
I would need to have a run of 9 more signoffs AND passes to reach 80% again (20/16) which seems excessive. It would be counter productive to set up a situation where if I dumped a student my pass rate is 77% and one more qualifies me VERSUS retraining and passing two students gives me 63% and screws me. Thing is a Ive been allover the FAA website and can't find any guidance further than the basic requirements.
