"loss of situation awareness".. when i was doing my IFR training my instructor drilled the word situational awareness in my head.. specially when i was flying an approach and how i ALONE was dealing with multi engine procedures and brief on everything, scaning my instruments and flying the aircraft at the same time.. specially when it comes to the DH or MDA where i would call it the most CRITICAL phase or part of the whole flight specially in crazy IMC conditons.. great video.

Is this a genuine case of the captain becoming situationally unaware during a sim session or was it a set up just to see if the FO would take control?

Brilliant example of what can go wrong and hats off to No1 for his assertiveness and respect for the situation and for his Captain in that order.
