Well, might not be new but I don't see anyone discussing it here. How about the rules change so that if you fail a checkride you MUST take the whole ride over not just the parts you failed on. I have seen times where a pilot busted several rides then passed on the retake. But let's face it the pilot is laser focussing on one maybe two topics/manuevers. There is no "pressure cooker" of the event. People who cannot deal with the full pressure of an emergency might be weeded out by this approach to testing events. I'm not sure upping 121 requirements to ATP will suffice if the checkride they take can be done in parts and passed on. An emergency never asks your permission to happen. You're either ready to deal with stress or you are not. No one will be perfect in all events. But do others see this a possible way to improve the testing for certificates/ratings?
