Accordingly, your application for a senior operator license is hereby denied.
We have also reviewed your examination results to determine whether they satisfy the requirements for the issuance of an operator license.
On this basis, you passed the written examination, but did not pass the operating test; therefore, no operator license may be issued.
You may file a new application after two months from the date of this letter in accordance with Section 55.12(a) cf 10 CFR Part 55, a copy of which is enclosed.
Under the regulations, each examination and reexamination consists of both written and operating tests.
