November 7, 201312 yr I thought you guys might enjoy this... In my last job I also taught in our simulator, and would save this "treat" as my students' graduation present after they passed their Q400 PIC checkrides and LOFT, as there usually was 20-30 minutes left of sim time booked for us. During training I would use this airport as a tool to demonstrate the EGPWS enhanced escape maneuver, having the students simply take off blindly and recover when directed by the warning system. So it was only apropos that after passing their checkrides, I'd have them fly the full approach in good weather, to finally enjoy themselves in the sim before heading off to IOE. I think I gave them charts before hand, but the LOC/DME EAST+WEST weren't in our FMSs since we didn't fly in Europe. So it was basically, fly and land, and have fun!
