Can they fail you???

[UnAnswerd]

Quick question. Can a DE actually fail you for a bad landing? How about about one that actually bounces???

I thought you had used up your lifetime allotment of stupid questions.

I was wrong.

I thought I was heterosexual. I was wrong.

Wow. Clever. And original.

You intellect continues to amaze.

Yes you can get failed for a bad landing.

He's pretty much god for those few hours.

I can imagine the only way you'd fail a check from a bad landing is if you;

A. Missed the runway all together.
B. Bent the airplane.
C. Both A & B.

Now, if you consistantly land with one wheel nearly taking out the runway edge lights, yeah, you might be busted for that. But, if you bounce a landing and the DE busts you for it, make sure the second bounce finds him/her flying out the door!

It was a serious question, and I appreciate the serious answers. Thank you.

Heh heh. And from you my friend, we've thus far only seen a lack thereof.

A DE can fail you for whatever he deems approapriate within some guidelines and PTS standarsd of course. So if you bounce the heck out of a landing on your private checkride as long as it is "safeish" youll probably be ok, commercial is another story...after a couple hundred landings under your belt you should be passed the bouncers.

i think there is some criteria to the effect of... if the safe outcome of a maneuver is ever in question and the examiner needs to take corrective action, you're pretty much done. This could happen on a bad landing.

Agree. Aside from a spin or doing something else dangerous, I don't think it's possible to bust a private SEL ride. I mean...just show you're safe, proficient and can control the airplane.

When you get to commercial SEL...uh...don't bounce. Just don't do it.

That is all.

he's probably not going to have you do a regular ol' landing, at least my examiner didn't. he had me do soft field landings and i had to go missed. i screwed my first soft up (accidently hit the brakes) so we taxied back and did another pattern where i had to go missed, and then he said "ok, we're going to do another soft, make it good" so i did and i was done!

 

[navigator72]

the quick answer is "YES"

I busted my commercial ride on a f**ked up softfield landing
