I failed my initial FAA Multi flight test,, forgot to retract the gear on the go-around, got simulated engile failure and forgot to check it again! failed cos i clearly was not ready! fair enough
trained some more, passed, then got my FAA multi CPL then my Multi CFI, now fly a 738 multi engine! lol
who cares if you failed a PPL first time round, train a bit more, get sharper,, do it again and pass then crack on with the rest, if your ready for the airlines and have to explain yourself (very unlikly they will care) but you will be ready to explain it and have no issues, no one is born a pilot, you gotta work at it.
