Sim training hiccups
Hi. Just have a few questions about sim training. When I was a new hire in sim training I had to redo a sim. Wasn't a check ride or maneuvers validation, LOE, etc. Just a normal sim before the actual checking event. Should this be listed in the failures section on airline apps? Just curious how this will show on a PRIA check is all.
Have an interview coming up and second guessing it. Asked around and people say it's not a failure cause it wasn't a checking event just a training sim. Any advice since my app would be different when I go into the interview now. Not trying to hide anything as I do have a checkride failure on there already.

Not a checkride failure, should not show up on PRIA as a failure.
*** You MUST get a copy of your PRIA records from your current employer and verify accuracy. If no UNSATs are shown are shown then you have no failures.
That said, how you answer the question depends on how they word it. If they ask have you ever failed any checkrides, line checks, check flights, training events then I think you answer no.
If they ask if you've ever repeated any training evolutions or words to that effect, then maybe you should say yes. But almost everybody has repeated a training event at some point so they're not really gaining much discrimination by getting down to that level of detail...especially since it's hard to know for sure since those records are not normally available to them.
