Consequences of failed checkride
I did my check ride today and failed. Everything went pretty well except the throttle chop (sim engine failure) and the 180 auto. I've never had a problem with the 180 auto RPM getting to high, but my examiner had to get on the controls for a slight correction when I let the RPMs get up around redline. I think I was just tired, but that's part of the test I guess. The throttle chop was the fastest and most sudden I have ever had thrown at me, and before I even knew it, it was cut and recovered for me. Dunno if I was given much of a chance on that one or if I was just worn out, but again, real life doesn't give you much chance either and doesn't give a sh!t if you're tired I guess. Long story short, I have a few things to work on. Still feel like cr@p about it. Anyway, what does this mean? Does anyone know if you have failed a check ride when you go for a job?
