Previous gouges still accurate. I came in early for the sim prep and it was a huge payoff. I flew in via Delta and stayed at the Comfort Inn in Obetz, near LCK. Took a Blue Cab from CMH to the hotel, hotel payed for cab at a contracted rate of $35. Shuttle from hotel took me back and forth to Airnet HQ. Morning interview started at 10am. 3 of us interviewed and we each got shuffled between 3 different instructors for the different phases of interview. Written test of about 60 questions - topics previously covered well from previous gouges. Sim profile was same as previous - given basic clearance and ATIS. In position on 28L at CMH. Engine fail on TO roll, abort, then resume normal TO. Climb 3K, IMC at 300', steep turns, slow flight, stalls. Go direct APE VOR, lost AI on the way, enter hold, then depart APE for VOR-A at VTA. Regained AI on final. Went missed, lost an engine on missed. Immediately feathered, continue climb to 3K, then vectors to ILS 28L for SE approach at CMH. Basically, the profile for a 135 Checkride, from what I'm told. It was challenging, but fun. Everyone was extremely friendly, courteous and helpful. Got called the afternoon I left to offer a class date.
