Don’t know his reason for not doing that. He may be new himself.

This stuff seems like magic, but it’s not really. Just a different way of doing things. KEEP THIS IN MIND. No matter what type of approach it is, as soon as you realize things are not working as you expected and the airplane isn’t doing what you want, during approach or landing…GO AROUND, CALM DOWN, TALK IT OUT AND DO IT AGAIN. DON’T GET IN A HURRY.

You’ll be fine.

As you prepare yourself for the re-run, fly it again in your hotel room and say outlloud every step and everything thing you expect to see ( have a mate there to listen)
