The Examiner seems to understand what's the job of flying in LVP about. Unfortunately, the FCOM says differently: Amber Caution (Single Chime) = GA.
Why? The LVP Getting to Grips explains: "simplified abnormal procedures, which are necessarily more conservative, are published in the FCOM." (when compared to AFM certification baseline).
The reason given for the GA below 1000 is that you do not have the time to re-assess the landing capability. But what if the failure is definitely NOT compromising the landing capability...? Such as VENT: Blower Fault
... at 820 ft?
... at 780 ft?
... at 220 ft?
What is the proper course of action? It is impossible to create a procedure (a decision making model in this case) for this. So a more conservative approach is taken.
---- to answer your question ----
Airbus FCOM has a simple rule that amber caution (single chime) below 1000 ft AFE requires the crew to go-around. There is no "approved-to-continue" list of amber failures.
Ironically, the logic behind the examiner's suggestion is valid. But if he was to train that, he'd just confuse the students and make a joke of the whole system.
