Sim check recipe

This dish is traditionally served every 6 months, I had it last week-end.

Ingredients:

• 2 x Line pilots


• 1 x Examiner


• 1 x Box of tricks (Simulator)


• 1 x Scenario


• 1 x Very very cold CBT (Computer Based Torture ... err ... Training) room.

Instructions:

1. Marinate the crew in CBT for at least 4 hours the day before to tenderise the nerves and numb the brain cells. Temperature should be no more than 15° for optimal numbing. Rest overnight.
   


2. Put examiner and line pilots into small room for 30 minutes with the scenario for what's called a briefing. For added spice add some oral questions.
   


3. Put the mixture into the box of tricks for 2 hours. Throw in some engine failures, hand flown ILS and VOR approaches and go-arounds. If you like a crispy crew replace one or all engine failures with fires.
   


4. Remove crew for 15 minutes.
   


5. Repeat step three, reversing the roles of the 2 pilots.
   


6. Return crew to small room for a 15 minute debriefing.
   

Done!
