a well crafted LOFT scenario could be constructed so that the crew gets suckered into a hot high, flight path just on the edge of the limit with the aim of producing a go around decision.rather than trying to force a result.
in a well respected Airline recently we did just about the opposite in a recent LOFT. Positioned at 10;000ft 20nm from touch down and told to ‘manage’ the aircraft to either a landing or a go around. I suggested it was negative training and that I would simply ask for track miles but was told to ‘have a go anyway’. I have been flying long enough to know how to do it but it does show how some ego’s/ weird ideas make their way into examining roles in otherwise good outfits.
