-Failing to fly the published missed. Not once, but twice after backing the sim up and specifically talking about it.
-Not knowing your callouts. Not just the abnormal ones, but the regular day to day ones.
I can go on, but you get the idea of why people are failing. Training is no more or less hard then it's been. People are getting lazy and complacent.
AQP is getting a bad rap online lately because people are going back to the crewroom and having to explain why they failed when they don't want to tell the truth. Crashing the sim multiple times is not something people will step up and admit. Instead it's "training got harder" or "they're out to get me".
I agree like I said in an earlier post. I had no issues. I came prepped. It was training. My examiner saw we cane ready, he treated as such. I actually got the shaker on the 200 engine out, but maintained control nailed the callouts. All he said was not to lift the nose as quickly. Did it a second time to perfection. But coming prepared made the difference.
