Very interesting...
Hog driver..
I was Dallas Simulfite..Citation Ultra Sim..(single pilot).end of session, passed ride, time left on sim...I said 'sock it to me, something devious'
The instructor sat back and said...'ok, here's one for ya...we get alot of guys in here that don't run the numbers right, they like to come in on fumes, so I am going to put you over Missoula, you just missed, you have 500 lbs of fuel'...you see if you can make it back around, 200 overcast, 1/4 mile vis, snow"
Well I knew he was trying to teach me lesson, that 500 lbs wouldn't make it, I would crash the plane trying, lesson learned: "carry more reserve fuel'
He gave a smile, blanked out the screen, and said 'ready?'
"Ready' I said...
The Missoula missed was set up to depart the runway environment, fly to a VOR, do a turn, come back around for the ILS...
1,2.3 go....
What I did..I cleaned up the plane, reduced power and climbed up to the GS intercept alt for the ILS in an immediate banking left turn, staying in the protected runway enviromnet (RE-TERPS)...I stayed in tight, turned Base at the GS intercept alt hitting the FAF as the GS was coming in...glided down the ILS staying a little fast incase the engines flamed out, kept the plane clean untill the last minute to keep power reduced to mininum...landed and rolled off on the taxiway...the engines flamed out...
He said 'I've never seen anyone do that before'
------------------------------------------------
I don't remember any prize that a pilot get's for reading the checklist and still crashing the plane...Yeah Hog, I was a handflyer...flew alot of junk up here in the Pacifc NW before I got into decent aircraft...
To the other posters...you can either be ahead of the aircraft and have situational awareness or not...but one thing is for sure...there isn't a SOPS manual or checklist big enough for all the things that can happen in a plane...very fluid environent. Your either ready for the unexpected or you do what others told you what to do, and hope that it fits the situation.
If you wanna believe that V1 go no go, is all there is to it, I can think of a ton of examples where going after V1 will kill you dead...every situation requires judgement...what makes sense...
