This is the one based in Seattle when you have to make a missed approach
on
runway 34R. I make the missed approach at altitude 900 ft. But still I am
announced failed as a went 'below' the missed approach height of 840 ft.
Done it multiple times now. A little frustrating. Any ideas?

Thanx

There are some bugs in the checkride and some peculiarities. The first bug
is that the track from FACTS to SEA is actually 340 not 338, but the checker
is checking against 338.


1. You have to set the VOR to SEA and turn the OBS to 338 within 30
seconds.
2. You have to stay within 50 feet below and 100 feet above the required
altitude. Try to stay at or above the requested altitude.
3. You have 2 minutes to turn to 338 and head north.
4. Once the 2 minutes are up, you cannot correct more than 10 degrees off
338
5. You must pass each of the checkpoints at the published altitude (+ or -
tolerance). The key DMEs from SEA are 17.0, 11.0, and 4.4. You cannot cross
"high", which would normally be acceptable in real life, I believe.
6. you must climb out on the go-around at 500 feet per minute. If you drop
below 200 fpm, you fail.
2. You cannot correct more than + or - 10 degrees off 339 on the way up on
the missed approach.

Then the fun really starts when you go to the next task: the hold.
