The expected turnaround time for exams is 24 to 72 hours. We rely on our volunteer staff, and they go through periods of outside activity that slow things down for a time. This is doubly true for smaller programs such as the 727 that only have a single staff member.

I'm pretty confident your examination will be graded over the weekend.

Cheers!

William, my apologies. Like Luke said, real life gets rather severely in the way, especially dealing with a new daughter. In fact, I just graded your test while running on exactly zero hours sleep in the past twenty-six thanks to her. smile

Well, if you had to be out of the cockpit for a reason, that would be it. Congratulations Lewis.

Just personally curious, what is the fascination with "getting all the ratings" ?? I am quite capable of doing that, but I pretty much get rated for the aircraft I am really going to fly. Just curious...

OK, all outstanding 727 tests have been graded, and I thank everybody for their patience, as I just got back from driving my daughter around the neighborhood to try and quiet her down (car rides put her right to sleep). Remember, if you're gunning for an additional 727 rating or a transfer to the program, you need to do an Equipment Transfer Request in addition to passing the F/O test.
