The training might not include the 767, but the Gimli Glider's captain
execute many similiar manouvers with his Cessna (or something like
that), that's why he managed to land the 767 quite safely.

Both the Gimli and the Transat reports make mention that the pilots
didn't have formal training on gliding that particular aircraft, but
that experience outside of their commercial pilots training cam in
handy. (the Gimli pilot had flow gliders).

Obviously, the pilots would have received instruction on engine-out
operations, and the Transat pilots knew the high speed range for landing
gear, knew the low speed limiot for the RAT,


The high speed range for the landing gear is irrelevant in that situation.
All that's going to happen is you'll lose some gear doors. Who cares?
As for the RAT, it's good down to 90 knots. I'f you're below that, you're
not flying anyway!



knoew what systems worked
what didn't, knew that brakes would have a limited number of
applications, which is why after the second landing, he applied the
brakes big time because he freared that he would no longer had a 3rd
change (and the investigators found the pilot acted properly, even if it
meant that the tires/wheels/runway would be damaged).

But receiving instruction != training in simulator for such situation.

We do, and have done for years.
