In my experience with the "shuttle approach”,"double hush" whatever one what's to call them the biggest factor in achieving a successful landing is the ability of the pilot to step out of the box of SOP's and then step back in at the appropriate time. Those that couldn’t think outside the box had the most trouble. By the way there was a thread a while back dealing with this very subject.
Normally only the Captains at my airline were given the opportunity to experience this exercise and then only at the end of the session, if there was time, as it was not recognized by the licensing authority.
