you read a text message on approach in singapore and go around: lose your job.but if you're training, get it slow and alpha floor it: the boss writes a memo.
You know that there was much more to that story W9 than just getting a text on a mobile. It wasn't the stuff up that cost him his job it was his attempt to hush it up and pretend it didn't happen. The bottom line with this event is that all non-normals and their ramifications are what the simulator is for. The line component is just to conduct the autoland in the aircraft. Anything else is the rocket science part.
