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. BDS |

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. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

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

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. |

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.) Yes, but that's because they are flying real aircraft, and failure scenarios are impractical and dangerous to practice in real aircraft. At the same time, failures cannot be avoided in real aircraft. 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. You're not even entertaining as common troll. Why didn't you post a few "bait" question before you sprung the big one???? |

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. |
