No, it's like saying that anyone who has driven any car knows a great

But that is also an incorrect statement.

If only real flying experience were important, then nobody would ever use
simulators. In fact, if someone wants to fly a 747, he is better off flying a
simulator of a 747 than he is flying a Cessna 152.

While the simulation isn't
the same as flying a 747 for real, it's a lot closer than the real-world
experience of a Cessna 172 would be.

But you're still required to actually fly a plane to get
certified.

Tell us: does the simulator simulate a stall?
