One thing I know is that the annual sim session is crowded by mandatory events that must be achieved, regardless of their utility on the line or contribution to safety.
Wouldn't it be grand if you could go to recurrent training with a list of things you want to work on based on problems you've encountered or an assessment of your own weaknesses? Forget it; not going to happen.
One thing I know for sure. I've spent way to much time practising engine out go arounds that will never, ever happen in real life. Has there ever been an instance anyone knows about? I appreciate the value of flying asymmetrics, and I like the V1 cut, but that's all I need.
I'd rather spend the time practicing the 31 Expressway Visual, or the Canarsie VOR, thank you very much.
