Failed Checkride on App

[Ty Webb]

I looked at a copy of my background check and failed checkrides did not show up.

Funny, I got a copy of mine, and my medical records from the FAA too, and it showed every application I had submitted for a certificate or rating. It also showed when I had requested a duplicate medical or certificate, and even the phone calls I had made to OKC on several issues. . . . going back to the mid-1980's.

If yours didn't show everything, I don;t know what to tell you. Did you request your medical records, too?

In any event, play it straight. They won't disqualify you for a previous bust, but they will disqualify you for lying. Yeah, we know, it didn't say Part 61 . . . and Clinton didn;t have sex with "That farm animal, Ms Lew-whiskey . . .".

Failed three type-ratings? You've got to be kidding. If that's the case, I wouldn't let him operate a weed-whacker, let alone an airplane.

Two things, just for clarification. At Part 141 schools with self-examining authority it's only a bust if a pink slip is issued. 141 schools do have to report unsat checks to the FAA as part of their record keeping but that has nothing to do with the pilots' records. A retraining event is therefore not a bust. (Don't ask how I know this!)

Second, when airline apps ask for failed checkrides include all of them, period. Interestingly, the AWA app didn't ask to list fails. At my interview when they asked if there was anything they should know I said yes, I pinked my CFI flight-initial and my ATP oral and I'd be happy to talk about it to their heart's content. They weren't even curious.

I just asked for a copy of what the company saw. All that was sent to them was the fact that I had a commercial lisence, no violations, accidents, or incidents and a first class medical. I didnt order straight from the FAA but I looked at all the company had on me... If im asked I tell them about it, if not I dont. Havent had a problem yet.
