@ BOAC,

The decision to climb was not unrealistic in this particular scenario, still some margin left. The winds changing was more due to the failure of the pitot static system an not the actual winds changing I've been told that the indications we saw were natural for the particular failure although in the real world it should have been a clue!!

In hindsight, you are right, come to think of it, the speed didn't drop hence we kept slowly reducing the power.

Many mistakes made for sure, and when you contemplate it behind a pc screen the answers will be much different! However this took seconds to develop in the sim as it could be in the real world!!( think between level off and the stick shaker was about 5 seconds).

Great training, I learned something, reinforces the feeling that current training for civilian pilots is lacking. For the last 11 years I have done al sim sessions with average to above average grades and never got into any trouble. However, this was an ego killer and I learned a lot more than from the standard V1 cut, come around do an NPA on AP, GA and finish of with a hand flown SE ILS!!


Greetings
