That would depend on the aircraft.

Airline pilots, for example, can go for their entire careers without having to
deal with an engine failure on an actual flight. Simulators are invaluable in
this case because they allow pilots to practice engine failures until they
become second nature, without risking an actual aircraft (which would be very
dangerous and expensive).


Wrong again asshole.


I've had catastrophic failures in two nearly new JT8s, shut down three
others, shingled yet another and had to cage two turboprops and I'm
far from done yet.
