The failure happened on the last sim, I guess primacy was getting the better of him and he kept forgetting that he was supposed to hit this button at the FAF to start them down like he practiced in the first 8 sims as opposed to him calling for the non flying pilot to do so. He was warned and given another chance. He remember to hit the button himselft on the second try but he didn't hit the button until 1/4 mile past the FAF. The instructor said that was not acceptable, and said those to messups were his 2 strikes (or whatever they are called) for the ride. He was then told he would be getting vectors for another chance at the approach and this would be his last chance. So he takes the vector and starts cleaning up the airplane. The check airman then stops the sim and informs him that he just failed. He asked if he knew why? For failing to callout the missed approach and go around.
So that is it as I heard it. Kind of a bummer.
Well, if I believed the story before, I don't anymore. Throwing chairs? How did he throw chairs that are bolted to the floor?
Also, so CHQ doesn't teach people to perform missed approaches, especially when inside the FAF?
I don't know, I'm not trying to knock your friend here, but the story sounds greatly exaggerated. And if he does decide to report it, which is perfectly acceptable if there was indeed any type of abuse, I'd recommend that he leaves the exaggerations out, because the chair part alone would cast a shadow on the whole story.
