How soon can you retake a checkride?

There is no limit to the number of times you can take the check ride. The examiner can perform another exam within 60 days of your failure where you will be required to perform only the tasks that you failed on the initial test. If more than 60 days have elapsed you have to do the complete checkride over again.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires two pilots at all times for most aircraft that exceed 12,500 pounds. Other factors, such as flight length may also demand more than one pilot. One of the biggest reasons two pilots are required for commercial flights and private jets is safety.
