Yes, there are K sims - the problem is, they're crap, nowhere near representative enough of the real ac for realistic sim assy exercises. And a sim assy approach & land is a recurring BCR. Albert can be tricky to handle asymmetric so such practice is very much required.
Blighter, you are partially correct, in that TacAT sorties are the only place that the CHECKS call for pulling the CB, however it's not uncommon, as I recall, to do so when practising multiple sim assy events on an MCT. The warning horn going on and off constantly is a major distraction. It was usual, if the CB had been pulled, to pencil it into the checks for the final pre-landers so it wasn't forgotten.
The horn CAN be cancelled, if it was set off by throttle retardation, but it's a soft cancel, it will go off again and again if the throttle is left in just the right position (see my original post). The other event that sets off the horn is flaps selected greater than 50% with gear up - in this case the horn will not cancel, hence pulling the CB for Tac sorties, since some drop profiles call for more than 50% flap.
BEags,
and I agree that such a practice is virtually unheard of in modern aircraft these days
Think you kind of answered your own question there...
