ok
here's the complete text
1. The examiner tells you to tune the Seattle VOR (116.80) in NAV1. Do it, and tune a course of 338 degrees in the OBS.
2. When the examiner turns off the autopilot, we have already overshot the 338 radial a bit. Turn to 320 degrees in order to intercept the radial again.
3. You have to perform the VOR approach to Seattle-Tacoma runway 34R as described in the chart (KSEA-VOR.gif) - NOT 16L as told in the briefing. Hold your altitude of 5000 feet until you pass the FACTS intersection (17 NM distance to the VOR). You may not go below the minimum altitude at a VOR approach!
4. As soon as you pass the FACTS intersection, decrease throttle and descend to 3000 feet. You have to hold this altitude until your DME distance is 11 NM.
5. When you reach the DME distance of 11 NM, descend further to 1600 feet. Slow down and extend the flaps step by step - as you would if you'd plan to land in Seattle.
6. It's best to tune your ADF to the PARKK NDB already: the frequency is 281. It is also good to raise your seat one or two notches by pressing SHIFT-ENTER in order to see the runway better.
7. After passing the DME distance of 4.3 NM, continue your descent slowly, but do not go below the decision altitude of 840 feet. If the runway comes into sight, approach it visually as you would do for landing. Now the examiner tells you to go around and execute the missed approach procedure.
8. Give full throttle, retract the flaps step by step and climb to 3000 feet. Keep the ADF needle centered to pass the NDB directly.
9. After you pass the NDB you get the instruction to fly a holding on the SEA VOR radial 140. Turn to 160 degrees as you've been told in the most recent instruction, and then intercept the 140 degrees radial.
10. Be careful: Radial 140 means a heading of 320 degrees and NOT the heading of 140 degrees we are currently flying! We have to enter the holding pattern by "parallel entry". Follow the heading of 140 degrees for a minute (watch the clock). Then turn left. The heading to intercept the opposite radial (R140 - 320 degrees) should be 270-280 degrees. Then follow the heading of 320 degrees to the VOR.
11. You don't have to fly a complete holding pattern, as soon as you pass the VOR the examiner instructs you to process to the ILS approach to Boeing Field runway 13R after passing the VOR. Overfly the VOR and correct your heading to 325 degrees as described in the chart (KBFI-ILS.gif).
12. At the ILS approach you're on your own, there are no instructions by the examiner anymore. Tune the ILS frequency for runway 13R into NAV1: 110.90. Set the ADF on 362, the frequency of the NOLLA NDB. If you follow the heading of 325 degrees you should pass the NDB directly, otherwise correct your heading to pass the NDB.
13. The localizer needle should center exactly when passing the NDB. Turn slightly left and follow the opposite ILS course (310 degrees). Be careful: You keep the needle centered if you perform all corrections the opposite way as you would do when flying a normal ILS approach (if the needle goes to the left, then steer to the right and opposite). Descend to 2200 feet.
14. If you are established on the opposite ILS course and have reached 2200 feet, enter the procedure turn. Turn to 265 degrees and hold this heading for a minute. Then turn right to the opposite heading of 85 degrees. When the localizer needle centers, turn to the final heading of 130 degrees and keep the needle in the center.
15. Slow down and extend the flaps one notch.
16. Now perform a normal ILS approach. Keep both needles centered as well as you can. Extend the flaps fully step by step and slow down further. The descent rate at 70 knots should be about 400 fpm.
17. When the runway comes into sight (at an altitude of about 700 feet) approach it visually. Land, brake and stop.
Good luck
