Whatever situation is chosen its training value depends on the context of the exercise.
An approach of ‘you should be able to do this’ or similar is no more than BTSOP (blame, train, follow SOPs), checking and testing.
There is little or no learning value without deviation or consideration of possible hazards, risk management, and mitigations.

Many of the scenarios could be expected to have been trained during initial type rating. Other situations could enable a choice of action depending on crew perception; there is no perfect solution only a selection of safe alternatives which require identification, assessing and judging.

Learning comes from discussing options and the circumstances of choice; to explore how small changes in perception, previous experience, knowledge, and belief can change choice and outcome.

Training for learning aims to impart understanding opposed to exposure of unlikely situations. Understanding is of greater value when encountering a situation which has not be experienced before, but this also requires confidence and learning how to consider previous experiences vice just looking for an SOP.

See double loop learning on page 5. Note the importance of the need to reflect on assumptions, knowledge, beliefs and biases.
