Anchorage approach strongly discourages multiple instrument approaches. And I generally shoot anyone on a local who wants to do a bunch of instrument work anyway, the sim is excellent for that and it burns a hell of a lot less taxpayer money.
Ya, in the Tanker we only get to the sim once a year. Everything is done in the pattern...even getting an engine pulled on departure.
I imagine it would be tough to do that at Elmendorf with the conflicting final at Anchorage Int'l.
