Narrative:

While taxiing in the ramp area we were accused of being 'much too fast' by an FAA examiner. Admittedly, we were a tad bit faster than normal, but, did not feel that it was excessive or unsafe. We were trying to get into the ramp area before an air carrier jet began his taxi for takeoff.
