Factual narrative
THE COMMUTER AIRLINE PILOT COMPETENCY/PROFICIENCY CHECK FLIGHT WAS PROGRESSING NORMALLY, ACCORDING TO THE CREW, UNTIL THE SOUND OF THE PROPELLERS CONTACTING THE RUNWAY INTERRUPTED THE ROUTINE. NO MECHANICAL, ELECTRICAL, OR HYDRAULIC PROBLEM WAS FOUND. THE CHECK AIRMAN SET UP MULTIPLE SIMULATIONS OF POWERPLANT, INSTRUMENTATION, AND LIFT CONTROL DEVICE MALFUNCTIONS DURING THIS APPROACH. THESE DISTRACTIONS, ALONG WITH EXTENDED BRIEFINGS ON HOW TO HANDLE THE UNUSUAL CONFIGURATION DURING THE LANDING SEQUENCE, DISRUPTED THE CREWS ROUTINE.
