Had the sim recently and had the same profile as a few others I spoke to also.

First person:

Fly from A to B with an NDB hold and a procedural non-precision approach (mine was LOC only).

Second person:

Fly from B back to A with a diversion half way to C into an NDB hold and a procedural ILS.

So you either get a non-precision approach and no diversion or a diversion and the slightly easier ILS approach.

Best advice is: work together!! If you need power set, ask the other guy to do it. If you need confirmation of your calculations for hold entries, distance to go, etc - ask for it. If you're unsure, check. Even if you're sure it's nice to get confirmation from your sim partner that you're flying in the right direction.

Handling is second to CRM in this assessment. My level keeping was all over the place - I had a few 300ft level busts and was constantly 100ft high or low at most times. Fly the plane, achieve the objectives, and you'll be fine.

Apart from that - enjoy!! (yeah, right)
