But those are only a few of many instruments.


I'm not sure that any of this applies to you since I don't think you ever
simulate failures or simulate flying without the autopilot doing all of the
work. But, just for fun you may want to try shooting a VOR or ILS approach
without your HSI/DG and without the compass (or GPS) and let us know how you
do. You may find it difficult to intercept the final approach course and
track it inbound with no heading reference.

I regularly fly by hand in small aircraft, but only occasionally in large
aircraft, as these practices are realistic.

A sim only produces failures if you request them, and I usually don't, unless
I want to practice something specific, such as engine failure. Practicing
failure scenarios is quite academic in a simulator, and doesn't serve much
purpose unless you intend to fly a real aircraft. It can be interesting for
other reasons, though.

Yes, it could show you how useful your compass can be for instance.

No your don't, you don't fly anything but a desk

You how did you come to suffer the delusion that you could operate a real
aircraft in IMC.

This is pretty ironic, don't you think?

One of the prime motivations for using simulators for pilot training
is to be able to practice failure scenarios. (Yes, cost is another
prime motivation.)

Pilot training would be quite simple without having to learn all of
those pesky failure scenarios.

Yes, and that's why a non-pilot can land an airliner in an emergency.


No, you can't.

Do you make the 'poketa poketa poketa' sound in your head when you
have these Walter Mitty fantasies?

I've already explained how and why it is possible.

No, you just outlined your fantasy. This is not a simulator forum, it is a
forum for real pilots. We deal with real answers. The scenario you dreamed
is nothing more than science fiction.

You are deranged.
