Shows good judgement.
vs.
"The company wanted to rush me and I failed my MV".
THIS. I was told that it's totally ok to take some extra sim sessions. I took two extra sessions. One for Maneuvers and the other for LOFT. All it was was just cleaning up small mistakes. Nothing that would have the instructor say "yeah you're not ready at all". Haven't seen anything about special tracking and going over 2 hours of extra sim time. Thought it was 10 hours to be put on special tracking.
