Hi all. I want to become an airline pilot in the future. I love the Big 3 in the U.S. However, I also love Asia very much and would prefer to live there in the future. I love Japan Airlines, Korean Air, Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, etc.

How do I go about working for an airline outside the U.S.? What are the hours required to apply? Do they care about checkride fails? Any information or requirements you know about?

Right now, I only have about 240 hours logged, mostly in a single-engine. Is there a specific type of aircraft they prefer you to log hours in?

Hey everyone, I just failed my checkride today on 8s on pylon because I was changing the power setting during the maneuver. I am not sure how I should feel or go about this because I've always been taught that I can touch the throttle during the maneuver.

I was taught to stay at 100kts indicated so I can find my groundspeed to determine my pivotal altitude. Once I enter the maneuver, I keep my bank constant and vary my pitch to change my altitude and keep my pylons in sight with the visual reference line. When the pylon is ahead of me, I pitch down. When the pylon is behind me, I pitch up. When I change my pitch, my airspeed will also change, which means I change the power setting to keep myself at 100kts indicated.

I read the AFH on 8s on pylon as well as the ACS, and none of them says anything about keeping the power constant throughout the maneuver. The AFH common errors say nothing about changing power/airspeed either.

I've always been taught this way with different instructors, and no one ever tells me this is wrong.

Is there something that I am missing? Can I even contest this notice of disapproval? Or should I just accept my fate?

UPDATEEEEE: Thank you, everyone, for contributing to my post. I understand now and will accept this failure. It's unfortunate that I failed doing what I was taught, but lesson learned. Every DPE is different, some mind, some don't mind. I'll take this L
