KT pretty accurate description of the whole experience.....scant info on power settings,5 minutes for plogs,manual flying of unfamiliar aircraft and you soon fall behind.the gist of the exercise is to ascertain your ability to recover the situation.nobody expects you to fly a perfect approach and a roller coaster ride is the usual scenario.make the calls,watch the speeds and do your utmost to land on the runway.above all remain calm and try to enjoy the ride.must say,easier said than done,you will be sweating after the ordeal.
