I'm sorry to say, but on SIM#1 you should have your callouts, flows and procedures down pat, nailed nearly perfectly. Thats why we do CPT's BEFORE sim. To spend less time going over callouts and procedures and more time spent flying and dealing with situations.

Sounds like both of you guys need to sit in front of the paper tiger and do some serious practice.

I'm in Sim #5 right now and when we did Sim #1, it was basic procedures and normal operations along with some airwork. My sim partner and I had been practicing flows and callouts from the 2nd week of systems training and when we did our first sim, our callouts and flows were perfect. That allows you the opportunity to focus on flying and learning the airplane. By sim 3 we were doing V1 cuts, single engine approaches and rejected takeoffs.

If you and your sim partner don't get the basic stuff down, you're going to be in trouble when the heat gets turned up. Drag your partners butt in front of a CPT for a few hours and continually go through the callouts and flows so that they come naturally.
