How much does this affect me? I had one fail in private training and now one now on my ATP checkride. I'm sick to my stomach. The captain wants to try and challenge it because it was caused by the sim instructor changing everything as we were walking in the sim then giving us 200kt winds so we had no time to set up. Can you even protest an iacra checkride?
I was given a piece of advice many years ago in this industry.
"Your only job in the sim is to get your partner through training."
You both donked this up and both of you failed it, and frankly, it sounds legitimate. If you believe challenging it will reverse the outcome, go for it. But to me, you sound arrogant and whiny.
