SANDBOX · 900 hours in type · Simulator instructor, eight years

Tomas runs weeks 5 to 8, which is the half of the course where the aircraft cannot hurt you. He treats that as the point rather than a limitation: the box is the only place you can fly an approach badly enough to learn what badly means.

He will not take the controls, and he lets an approach continue past the point where he can see how it ends. Identifying that point yourself is the skill the simulator exists to teach.

Expect to repeat sorties. The progression check at the end of week 8 has no fixed number of attempts, and he would rather sign it late than early.
