Chris Field 1412036 Posted June 13, 2021 at 12:24 AM Posted June 13, 2021 at 12:24 AM Recently reactivated my account that had been dormant for years and created in late 2017. Thought I'd go through the New Membership Orientation Course to see what is required to connect these days - lo and behold you need to pass some sort of test in order to get the P0 rating. Apparently that exam should be available in the exam center. That, however, is not the case for me. The exam center is empty and I seem to be unable to find any way to 'unlock' said exam. Also I didn't receive any email that told me I could do so. So, any ideas what I am missing? Or is this issue simply due to having a recently reactivated account?

Dustin Rider Posted June 13, 2021 at 01:17 AM Posted June 13, 2021 at 01:17 AM Are you able to go through the course but the exam? If that's the case, you may have an account that was created before the P0 requirement was introduced and may therefore be grandfathered in. Are you able to connect to the network?

Chris Field 1412036 Posted June 13, 2021 at 01:14 PM Author Posted June 13, 2021 at 01:14 PM Yeah exactly that: Course is visible but not the exam. As I said, the account was originally created in late 2017. From what I figured so far, it seems as if the P0 rating was introduced some time in 2020 (at least that's when the first mentions of that rating occured on this forum) which would mean my account predated that by about 2+years. In order to log in for testing purposes I'd first have to re-download FS X which is some 30Gb, so something that is best done during the weekdays, while at work, so I don't screw up my bandwidth/HDD speeds while I actually use this computer...

Alistair Thomson Posted June 13, 2021 at 02:49 PM Posted June 13, 2021 at 02:49 PM You will have the P0 already, as Dustin suggests, so you will be able to connect to the network for flying. But why re-download FSX if you already have it? Alistair Thomson === Definition: a gentleman is a flying instructor in a Piper Cherokee who can change tanks without getting his face slapped.

Chris Field 1412036 Posted June 14, 2021 at 05:59 AM Author Posted June 14, 2021 at 05:59 AM Why I need to download? Well, let's say the responsible master boot record decided to go to MBR heaven and refused to come back. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Thomson Posted June 14, 2021 at 12:11 PM Posted June 14, 2021 at 12:11 PM :) I was just concerned that you somehow believed that your situation re. a refreshed account was the reason.
