As this is a new thread then I feel that a repeat of the point I made earlier in a related thread might bear repetition here.
Can the esteemed trainers on this site please expalin what possible merit there is in carrying out the manual closure of the start valve, the cancelation of a start due to no acceleration, the taxying of the simulator to the hold, the loss of the Blue/B Hyd system in climb, the pack trip off at FL 280, the CiC calling to tell me that a passenger has a heart attack and we need to land asap, the decent and approach to my home base followed by a reverser failing to deploy on landing? And all this in a very expensive machine designed to instruct and test, at great expense, my ability as a Captain/Co-pilot.
All of the above could be covered perfectly adequately on the line with a TRI/TRE/Trng Captain on board. LOFT should be done where it says it is, on the Line.
I would like to use the simulator to learn how to recover form the inevitable 'worst-case-scenario' which is just around the corner. High altitude recovery from the stall, handling in severe CAT, approach/landing config stalls, climb out stalls when clean and so on; these are the things that kill people, not Hydraulic system failures.
And can someone please tell me just how often a modern engine has failed at V1? We slavishly practice just this one 'w-c-s' to the exclusion of so many other killers; why?
Time for a radical rethink in the Training Depts I feel.
