I have trouble believing that something NOT TRAINED would be introduced on a checkride in a structured training program.
Now I’ve never been through a -121 program which I believe to be even more highly structured that the military/P135 training programs that I have been through. Is this a common occurrence?

It was in the syllabus but my instructor said it was a “show and tell” and said my sim partner and I should use that time to practice more important stuff like v1 cuts, SE landings, etc... little did I know....

Obviously my checkride didn’t go perfect. Small mistakes were made, which weren’t a major issue. Im positive if I had an Instrument approach it would of been a pass. That visual was the main reason I failed, that being said it wasn’t the ONLY screw up. The examiner said every other mistake I did was a debrief item. Just that visual was the icing on the cake

Did you have a PAPI/VASI?
Since it was a “show and tell” the instructor must have given you some guidance as to how to do it.
Which means you’ve been trained.

Nope. As I mentioned before I’ve never done a visual approach in the simulator before my checkride

I told my instructors I wanted to practice visuals they told me I don’t have to waste sim time on it and instead I can work on something else since (to their knowledge) it’s not coming on the checkride. I honestly can’t blame them, they were trying to help me save sim time since they thought I wouldn’t get visuals on the checkride

As stated earlier you can’t be tested on what’s not trained so I’m thinking we’ve got a mountain of misunderstanding here.
What did your sim partner think of it?
If it was considered a “briefing only” item then technically you’ve been trained.
But I don’t know how the training syllabus was set up.
I’m thinking there’s something you’re overlooking.
Again, what do you consider a visual approach and how was it set up?
Straight in 10 mile final starting at 3000’?
