That is a regulatory rather than a practical restriction. And you only need a
very small number of hours of flight in a real aircraft.

In the future, I suspect that pilots will be trained without any time in a
real aircraft, mainly to save money.

Tell us: does the simulator simulate a stall?


Yes.

Delusional.

Yes.


Sure it does, including the feeling of falling when the stall breaks and
the increased G load as you pull out.

It doesn't simulate motion. Motion is only one small part of flying.

The G changes are a big part of a stall and something one needs to learn
to essentially ignore which can only be done by actually doing it.


Remember the first fully developed stall you ever did solo ? :-)

No. The little airplane you see on the screen may stall, but
you have absolutely no insight at all into what a stall *feels*
like.
