However, if the check ride is discontinued (i.e weather /maintenance) after commencement, I will work with the applicant to reschedule at the earliest available date.In the event that an applicant must discontinue the checkride due to illness or any reason other than weather or mechanical, a recheck fee may apply for the completion of that checkride.
