Snarlie.....I guess being there doesn't count for you?
What value was gained in the situation I described? I was not the only one that held similar views about that. Watching guys fall asleep in the middle of a Sim Ride due to exhaustion just adds so much realism to the ride doesn't it? If it was such a grand scheme....are they still doing that?
Using Own Company Examiners to conduct Checks makes good sense....finding Sim Company Instructors that are qualified or can be made qualified to give Checks makes more sense yet. Having a "Third Party" involved in crew competency checks ensures the reliability of the product does it not?
Also....I have some concern with your statement.....
The risk assessment indicated that sim training was required.
Do you mean "suggested", "preferred", "advised" when you say "required"?
If a Rejected Take-off is so prone to result in damage to the aircraft....perhaps the technique/profile/procedure is at fault and needs looking at.
