it’s got that feeling of “ hold my beer “ ?
Toruk. Done it for real. A few times in a long career. Just got into too high and fast through nobody’s fault. Circumstances. No sweat at all. GA with circuit to land or 360 on finals (quieter airports) or vectors for second approach. All very leisurely really. But to answer your question, sim or no sim you see what happens if you “try it”. Throw it away and learn as with all errors that occur. Hope that’s helpful?
