Nice thought, only difficulty being that in my experience of two aircraft and their respective level D sims is that the sim 'lands' nothing like the aircraft, it's fine for teaching some kind if rote responses to the rad alt (at 30, pitch 2 degrees, at 20 close the thrust levers blah blah blah) but absolutely pointless for trying to develop any level of finesse and skill in association with landing.
