I recently failed to pass a skill test. I believe the examiner's decision on one of the items was incorrect, in that his advice on how to correctly fly the item directly conflicts with that given by my instructor, and my understanding of the examiner's guidance.
Having read similar threads on this forum, I'm taking the advice not to give details but I'm unsure what to do. I don't want to appear arrogant, or to make problems for my career before it's started, but on the other hand I feel I should act responsibly when I'm aware of an error.
Are there any circumstances in which it's not career suicide to launch an appeal, or should I take it on the chin, learn from the other genuine mistakes I made during the test and do better next time? Is there a middle ground short of formal action? Unlike the poster of
this thread I'm not proposing to sue anyone, I just want to do the the right thing for myself and others in the industry.
Any comments/advice appreciated.
