Do Instructors seek for the instinctive flying capabilities of the student, in a case of no instruments available, or just expect the student to follow a pre-programmed guideline to achieve the main goal of getting back safely?
The point of this naive question is to know how instructors deal with different types of "brain power" from the students, as they move trough the exercises, to the expected level of expertise.
One of the sim exercise example presented on this thread put one poor soul whith a dark cockpit even darker just after v1, as I recall, and at that particular point in time the guy at the wheel has to "squeeze" the brain for the info needed just to fly the damned thing; Do Instructors have a somehow "standard" aproach, a magic mnemonic, for everybody to deal with those situations ? or do they let the emotional intelligence of the student solve the problem on a "trained/tamed" instint basis?
