I thought I would wait to post an update. I went before the training review board and they agreed to give me a couple of warm up sims and then recheck on the sim that I’m having problems with.

I’ve done the warm up sims and have to recheck in a couple of days. The warm ups were worse than the original sims that got me to the training review board in the first place. The second of them was a total disaster. Things that I used to do well, are now not going well and things that I struggled with have gotten worse. This is bizarre and frustrating to say the least.

Again, I don’t doubt that I can complete this successfully, I question if I can do it in the time the company expects me to do it in. I know I’m not the first or last person to be in this situation, so I’ll continue on. Just like you fly the airplane until the last part stops moving, I’ll continue forward until the last movement of the sim.

Thank you to everyone for all of the advice. I’ll continue to plug away and will do the recheck in a couple of days. If I do well, the next flight is the check ride. If not, probably another all expense paid guest appearance before the training review board or something else. To date, I’ve no check ride failures for any ratings and I don’t intend to start now if I can help it. Thank you again folks.
