One wonders if this means that:

a) the sim doesn't include an erroneous MCAS failure scenario
b) the sim doesn't include any failure scenario that would trigger MCAS
c) the sim does not correctly model MCAS activation given e.g. an ADIRU failure or AOA failure
or
d) the sim does not implement MCAS at all, and therefore does not correctly model handling at high AOA

Is there actually any sim anywhere that you could train on for MCAS failures/ erroneous activation (outside of Boeing engineering sims) ?
