Contaminated runway landings are not allowed.
How strange. Is that a limitation placed on J*?

The type of approach you have described in RPT Jet transport is a sure fire recipe for CFIT and should be actively discouraged.
Nobody would circle for real at 500' on one engine after an NPA to minima. It was a CASA licence renewal requirement. My point was licence renewal for you would seem to have softned.

The fact that so many relatively minor systems failures on Airbus aicraft may require Raw data, Hand Flown Approaches using manual thrust,
Not true at all. List a minor failure which will degrade to that extent.

Say a double failure of an inertial reference system? Luckily for Airbus they have three. Doesn't a 737 have only two?

You may think you are cleverer than the average Jet* pilot
Only in the fact that I never paid for my training

but

none of us would contemplate circling in the dark at 500ft
Just to remind you that as pointed out earlier this was a CASA Licence renewal requirment.

But complex profiles in the simulator help develop a solid elemental skill set. As alluded to ad nauseum, most Airbus accidents have been due a neglect fundamentals- including two aircraft flown into the water on GA.
