Is there a modern twin where the RFM permits full EOLs (day or night)? I doubt it.

And if you did them for real, would you do them from a high hover? Doubt it, though we used to do EOLS in the Gazelle from 1000' hover at Wallop for pre-NI trg.

So the 'realistic' training technique that works in the sim has been validated by real world experiences??????????

It has long been a problem that people believe that if the sim can do it the real aircraft can do it - it just isn't true unless the sim has been very accurately modelled with data from the real aircraft it the specific manoeuvre.

And, unless on NVG, the best option for a night or IMC auto is a constant attitude without flare.
