Key feedback: sterile cockpit discipline, positive transfer of controls, earlier diversion decision, and assertive captain leadership.

Debrief emphasized everyone talking, interacting, delegating, and CRM-ing rather than a single perfect answer.

This is a classic seven-minute group CRM cascade: weather, runway closure, medical, fuel, and busy alternates.

Scenario timed out after hail report; evaluation was on immediate prioritization and communication.

Reported decision was diverting to Santa Barbara after the go-around; lesson was to make a timely plan under distractions.

FO report emphasized good radio work, communication, and moving toward a good outcome before the timer expired.

Specific learning point: offering for the jumpseater to go back was a big mistake. Never open cockpit door for this.

No single right answer; expected behavior is CRM, decisive plan, and use of resources.

Seven minutes passed quickly; debrief focused on teamwork and communications.

Simulator advice: pitch is very sensitive, throttle back, and a missed approach is acceptable when unstable.

Specific sim profile: evaluator does checklists if asked and may prompt if gear is missed.

Evaluator was looking for mountain awareness, hold entries, full procedure after lost radar, and accurate localizer/glideslope tracking.

General simulator gouge covering KLAX ILS 24R, KBUR ILS 8, TTN ILS 6, and possibly TEB.

Evaluator wanted cockpit door discipline, use of all resources, and earlier recognition that the behavior had become a threat.

Jumpseater should contribute without taking over. Debrief focuses on how the crew communicated and used all roles.

Different from earlier bomb prompts because DFW was nearly as close as alternates and had better bomb-handling resources.

Evaluator liked prebriefing roles, discussing options, and building a logical plan instead of compromising safety.

The report emphasized using FO, FAs, ATC, dispatch, PAs, and the jumpseater’s input.

They failed to agree on a plan before time expired. Interviewer later said the sensor was defective, but CRM planning was the point.

Specific pasted guidance emphasized the five-step method and making a decision before time expires.
