The sim went much better today...we did one cut and it was within standards. Thanks again for the advice, it must've helped.

The only criticism I got was on my rotation.....I was roughly on the 2 degree per second target overall. However, when the instructor showed me a graph of pitch vs. time during the maneuver....I was at 7 degrees within 3 seconds, then I backed off down to 5 degrees, then pulled it back up to 10 degrees, then back down to 8, then finally up to 12 degrees.....so there was some oscillation going on rather than one smooth rotation. Tail clearance was roughly 1.8 meters at its lowest point.

The rotation is vastly different on this plane than my previous....my old bird required a "counter rotation" after the initial backforce to prevent over-rotating...the boeing is precisely the opposite and will take some getting used to.

Hopefully I can maintain this success, thanks again.
