I just completed my 727-200 checkride. Not a bad performance, but certainly could have done better on the approach. Forgot to disengage the autopilot until 4000. Should have done it at 5000, so that may be a bust. Anyway, how long does it usually take to get the news? I'm already practicing for a repeat.

Later.

Good luck on the CR.

Remember, you have to be a step ahead of the good ol' 727 or it won't forgive you smile

Yes, you do. Just got my results and it was as I figured. Because I forgot to disable the autopilot I need to re-submit the checkride. I wont over look that next time. Gimme one more shot and I'll nail it. See you in the right seat soon.

I thought AP had to be disengaged completely?

Anyway Art, It says if you look down in your pilot center the day you submitted the CH and that you should expect up to 73 hours; on mine however, it took only 24 hours-anywhere within that time period.

Just remember the saying "If you do not suceed, try, try again"

You'll get it!
