I'm with
waren9 - was the fire drill started promptly and how
long had it been burning, did that fire eat into anything else
(non-expected ECAM warnings and/or cabin/aircon smoke), at
the time was any traffic taking off from the same departure
runway, etc etc.
As I've often said before there is no reason to rush things in a
modern airline jet and 3.02.10 p6 is sufficient, unless there is
sufficient justifiable SAFETY reasons to get it back on the deck
asap. In that case, an A320 can handle a 15kt TW (wether or
not an Airboos fee has been paid).
And don't forget a sim ride is a check of essential operational
knowledge and SOP. Seldom does it play out as an exercise in
the real world. If all else fails while wrestling in the box, stick
to the SOPs to protect your salary for the next six months.
And yep examiners are definitely NOT perfect. I've yet to meet
one who is (apart from myself, once!
)
