It will never be “ easy “ regardless , unless you are a cross between chuck Yeager and A super computer
It is a course, but at the end of the day the candidate has to perform to the required standards.
Is it a chop ride? Every flight we do has an element of chop ride about it. Every sim certainly, but also every single flight. Screw up enough and you won’t be getting another chance.
What separates good trainers from bad trainers is the ability to put a candidate at ease so they don’t realise it’s a chop ride. As the CAA say, there’s no such thing as a “non jeopardy sim”.
