3 out of the 4 said they had not flown an airplane in over a year, a couple of them had CRJ type ratings and such. 1 of the guys for sure messed up the entry. Here is the sim profile:
- Call for TO checklist
- Takeoff runway 24R at LAX fly runway heading 3000'
- "Positive rate, gear up"
- Acceleration altitude - Call for Climb Check
- Fly radar vector to join radial 230 to the Santa Monica VOR (050 course inbound on HSI)
- Level off at 3000', 160 KIAS
- Call out for cruise check
- Advise when ready to copy holding instructions (Exchange flight controls with Sim instructor, he pauses sim and you take your time briefing the hold)
- If you brief the hold correctly they don't make you hold most of the time, although mine was a direct entry so he did make me do the entry (Entries were different for everyone!)
- Radar Vectors for ILS 24R with the Flight Director
- Call for Approach Checklist
- Join LOC at 2200' until established, cleared for ILS 24R LAX at 120 KIAS
- ILS to a missed
- Execute missed as pusblished, eventually vectored for another ILS 24R this time without the flight director
All in all it took about 15 minutes at most. It was a G1000 baron frasca, but in my opinion it was fairly good, at least compared to the sims my school uses (Fidelity Motus)
They told us the standards are not hardcore as long as you are correcting and you are doing a reasonable job with everything. I think they were interested in the CRM more so than the flying.
