When is a repeat a repeat?
Just discussing this with a colleague recently. I'm not an examiner or trainer, just a regular line pilot. In a flight test or revalidation when do you have to repeat something? What's the guidance from the CAA?
More specifically I'm looking at speed control. According to Standards Document 24(A) Appendix 2, p. 32, speed accuracy is +/- 5 knots. If someone loses five knots for a moment and recovers then is that okay, or repeat?
And even more specifically, if you saw someone lose only three knots on a single engine approach and go around, momentarily, is that grounds for a repeat?
Many thanks for any opinions on this area,

(Plus, for commercial jet operations, is that Standards Document the right one to be looking at for details regarding Tyrone ratings and LPC/OPCs?)
