Re: Now Boarding ... Chicken or Beef?
Just shut your eyes....
Approach power is about 1.20 EPR. If using manual thrust, make all changes gentle (.02 or so). Bigger changes will give a strong pitch couple. And if you need more, remember that you'll have to push or pull as appropriate. It's a Boeing...even when the autothrottle is engaged, you can still override it without disengaging it.
There are many, many reasons for an abort, not just engine issues. Ask for an engine failure with severe damage at V1 minus about 5 knots. Do it at max take off weight. And for a real eye opener, ask for the same failure at 10 knots (i.e. as the power is being set).
We don't autoland in 'difficult' conditions per se. In some ways they're simple. Just very reduced vis...fog. It's pretty useless in gusty/nasty condtions. Ask to see a CAT III B autoland.
The sims aren't necessarily all that good at giving compounding emergencies. Normally the instructor will have to individually key them in.
If you want my scenario, you want a bang, autopilot disconnect, loss of 50% of roll control, door warning, loss of cabin pressure, crew and cabin oxygen warnings, anti skid, brake torque, left ADC fail, left FMC fail, all ILS fail, left CDU frozen....I'm sure that's enough to keep you happy, but I'm not sure that he can key it all in.
You slow down until the stall warning goes off. Then lower the nose to about 5º below the horizon, and slowly advance the power. Don't do it quickly because the thrust couple will pitch the nose back up. So, angle of attack FIRST...then the power.
