Do you have to get to your destination to "Pass" a Line Check? The 2 Check Airmen did not know? It turns out that a Line Check requires 1 takeoff and 1 landing ... we had that and were blessed to fly until the next Line Check.
I bet you could ask for the longest runway with a headwind on an FAA Check Ride ...
