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

What does that mean?


and I'm far from done yet.
