A crash in simulation is a tragedy within the context of that simulation.


So did you hold a simulated service with simulated mourners and simulated
flowers?

For a real pilot to attempt a flight under the conditions you describe
with the total lack of preperation you describe, that person would have
to be extremely stupid and ignore a huge pile of regulations and have
absolutely no common sense.


Simulation and real life are two different things, as so many here are fond of
saying. Odd that they are more than willing to confuse the two when it suits
their purpose.


You might as well have posted "I simulated shoving a hand grenade up
my butt and I got blown to hell. Is it really possible to shove a hand
grenade up my butt?"


Aircraft manufacturers spend a great deal of money on simulation of normal and
extreme situations, involving things that nobody would ever attempt in real
life. Why do you think they do that?


Nonsense.

Manufacturers do simulations to avoid cost.

What you simulated was what happens when an ignorant individual attempts
a flight without doing the legally required preparation, finds their
self in over their head, and continues on anyway instead of turning
back.

No mystery there.
