For years and years at my outfit, in the sim G/As were always accompained with an inevitable engine failure. And completed as such. No problems as such.
Then one day, I had a G/A initated by ATC when preceeding traffic stopped on the runway, instead of vacating. I kept waiting for the engine to fail.
Which it didīnt.
Getting home, I called a TRI/TRE friend and gave him a tongue lashing, how about training some normal G/As? Soon after the sim programs changed, and now include NORMAL G/As.
In 30 years of airline flying, I have only done a handful. But I want to be trained and ready, and my F/O better be as well.
Underfire... I really disagree
