Now, I'd have to agree that fear of death is one training aspect of
flying that is hard to duplicate in a sim. But perhaps if an
electrical shock was attached to the AOA value, you'd get better
training than even the death factor ;-) After all, fear alone doesn't
make you a better pilot. Learning to avoid deadly situations does.

Being terrified can interfere with reasoning. And by the time a
person is that scared, he's already in serious trouble. I'm sure that
many accident pilots are terrified in the final few seconds before
they hit the ground, but that doesn't make them any more able to save
themselves, as the terror occurs too late and could easily make them
irrational, anyway.
