Yeah, we got approved for RNAV/GPS approaches way back in like Feb of 07. I think I've done maybe TWO on the line.
As for my sim partner, he basically let nerves get the best of him. He became unstable on an approach and elected to continue rather than go around, then he did it again. APD told him right then that he was gonna have to go for re-training, but they both elected to continue to get a lot of the other stuff done. Next time out, he got a V1 cut (went fine) with an inadvertent thrust reverser deploy. After the QRH was complete, he still flew the approach as a single engine approach. The last item in the QRH is "thrust levers as required," which means you've got your engine back. He never moved it back up from idle.
