Of course there is always risk in any training but my experience was 7 different instructors over the sim footprint and in every sim, despite the inconsistencies, we were always realistically set up to be successful on an approach when repositioned. Not so on the MV. There, it was being repositioned on a gps with 3 step downs VERY high (requiring immediate deployment of flaps and or boards) and 40 kts fast not yet established with no AFCS modes engaged, no checklists done, and no configurations done. APD had zero personal skills and created a vibe that made you feel he was not in the least in your corner. Came across some great people there but be prepared for the unexpected during checking! Wildly different standards depending on which APD you had.
