From: last time I looked I was still here.
It's a scenario I used to give as an RST LOFT in the sim. I was amazed at the confusion it caused to the less sharp crews. The QRH trained monkeys had a most confusing time, especially if the Capt was one of those and the F/O more free thinking. That in itself caused a CRM issue.
What was staggering is how many crews did NOT brief and set up for a F15 SE landing, and then on finals suddenly started thinking that F40 SE was not a good idea. They then made a GA and started it allover again. They had not processed the SE status at all including NNC landing distance, fuel, etc etc. It was a horlicks, but a lesson well learnt. However, it should not have been necessary for a clear thinking Captain. Indeed I would prefer it on a command course. The real world does not know a QRH exists.
