It isn't the oral that messes up a skyhawk captain. Its the sim. The sim is extremely sensitive and you better be on speed on the slope and have no space between those command bars. Also don't adjust the power off the n1's use the pfd and watch the airspeed. Thats basically what they are teaching you. The problem is kids are expected to take on engine outs, v1 cuts, and circle by faith approaches when they can barely to a profile takeoff within limits.
