fire on final

I would have landed!!
and IMHO a sim session must be a learning experience and throwing at you an engine fire on final while you are vmc and then making you go around because a vehicle has entered the runway, that is playing God, i would love to put that instructor of yours on the left seat, presenting him with the same scenario and then once he has gone around making him realize that the fire was uncontained and that now the wing is falling off or that now you haave lost all your hydraulics!!!
remember people that we are paying for those sim sessions, at least our companies are, and we dont have to be at the mercy of some frustrated TRE's that just to prove a point, to show that they have something to teach, they come up with unrealistic scenarios.
having said that my full respect goes to all those great instructors that take their job seriously and do strive to teach something that we can translate into practice, who are the vast mojority outthere.
