Sim Flashcards
Here are some things to watch for. 1. They may run you up to 5,000 to do your steep turns. You may pop up through a Class B shelf. Be aware of that. 2. They may ask you to do your steep turns at 230 kts. This is right at the Vfo. So before you select flaps 2, ask control for slower. (This bit me.) 3. Watch your altitude, they vectored us through the approach course and we arrived at the FAF 1,000 feet high! They did some sim magic but I wish I would have caught it sooner and asked for lower right after the steep turns. 4. Careful not to bust the 190 speed on the go around as well. If you or your partner are not familiar with a crew scenario, go over them before Monday night. We chair flew them at least 5 times before the interview.
The sim session was extremely straightforward. Your sim will be set and ready to go on the runway by the management pilot. Ask if a briefing (passenger; takeoff; departure) is necessary - some management pilots prefer a briefing some don’t seem to care as much. I started as PM since I had no jet experience, and we departed on the HPN.7 Departure.BE CAREFUL! The departure required 190 KIAS or less at 800 feet AGL while you are turning, so make sure to bring power WAY BACK after you leave the ground - the aircraft is like a rocket and I had to bring more than half of the N1?ck. After arriving at 3000 feet, we did two 180-degree steep turns. If you aircraft has a “green dot” on the attitude indicator, put it right on the horizon and you will be fine. Also, if you increase power during steep turns, advance the thrust levers very slowly, or as indicated by the sim instructor “walk you throttle”. After the steep turns, we both did diversions back to HPN and shot the ILS approach. My sim partner went around for not seeing the approach lights. Initially I was vectored about 1000 feet higher than the glideslope intercepting altitude, and broke the 1000 FPM limit. I opted for a missed approach immediately even though the sim instructor said: “Are you sure.” In the interest of safety, I went missed and tried the approach again. This time, I was vector to intercept the glideslope with a more reasonable altitude, and ended up landing the aircraft. The sim instructor was very pleased that I “challenged” him when I wanted to go missed during the first approach.

KHPN Departure

Sim session was still HPN7 SID, HPN ILS 16 and/or TEB ILS 19. Departure, vectors, steep turns, divert back to HPN, partner swap, departure, vectors, steep turns, divert to TEB. I knew to bring power back early after takeoff and we both still got too fast. Bring it way back. You can choose which seat to fly from. You’ll be assigned to the Challenger, Latitude or Longitude. Sim motion off.
