After much practice and persistence, Rob Cummings has passed his 727 check ride. Rob flew the whole flight without use of Autopilot which is commendable for an aircraft of this caliber.
Please join me in giving Rob a pat on the back and hearty handshake for obtaining the Mighty 727 ratings. Well done Rob!

It should be auto pass when someone has wit to fly the entire flight without any automation Congratulation! Enjoy the 727!
