A320LGW You may want to read the post that you originally opposed again.
#92 Said "Unfortunately, sometimes" he may need to fail the crew for flying outside limits. Not that he habitually comes to the sim seeking the soft spots to stab them in the back.
#88 had spelt three points to retake the exercise:
- i) calling ATC with a report which is not true
- ii) continuing an approach outside the tracking limits in IMC
-iii) busting a hard altitude limit.
By your own words, i) and ii) are ridiculous and iii) is
perhaps understandable. So spade was called.
Happy to see now that altitude keeping is actually the primary focus in your big picture, welcome to the team.
Here's my original message in different wording: Un-focusing from the minutae and as we frame the "big picture" is not risk-free. Once you zoom out even further, it becomes visible that in the long run some lines may get blurred beyond recognizable as we pardon the irrelevant slips over and over again with increasing tolerance. If this is allowed to happen systematically we're not only scoring own goals but bribing the referee to lose. Moreover, there's no lack of evidence that normal human nature puts us on a tilted pitch before the game opens.
