Well I finally decided to try and move up to the 777. I took my check ride tonight and Im pretty sure
I failed it. I had to try it twice. My yoke messed up as I got close to my desitnation and didnt wanna
function correctly. So i tried it again and once again it acted up ,was either too sensitive or not sensitive
enough. I went ahead and submitted the flight anyways once I got to the gate.

I figure if nothing else I will at least learn a few things about my flying habits, lol. That 777,is a beast
compared to the 757 I usually fly.

If I fail it, how long before I can retry it again ? I have a fairly good idea of what my mistakes were.
I know we arent suppose to discuss testing or check rides, but I dont think Im giving away any secets
here since Im not really mentioning what my flight was and what I told to do. If Im in error I apologize
and feel free to remove this post.

So whats the most times someone has had to retake a test or a check ride before they passed ?

Usually they reissue it within an hour or so of grading it. Or they talk to you first then reissue it so you don't make the same mistake.
