Watch for a 35% to 70% failure rate.

Don't quit your day job just take a leave to see if you make it.

How does that statement carry any weight? 35%-70% is a large range. which is it? Obviously you are speaking out of your own negative experience. So we ask again, what is the real number of failures?

Totally untrue. This is some feeling of inadequacy on your part huh? You have some trouble in training?

This is no secret. Some months, there are lots of failures, other months there are not as many. It's time people started taking things seriously and show up to give it your 150%. That's not asking that much, just do your job, stay within 10 degrees of heading, 50 feet of altitude, 5 knots of airspeed, don't miss radio calls, make all of your required call outs exactly when you are suppose to. How hard is that?

There are too many pilots who feel they are "owed" an easy checkride. Know all of your manuals backwards and forwards and you will pass. Aim for perfection.
