Dear Gordon
i would hope that the simulations that were run included all the failures experienced by Lionair. If not pretty worthless My guess is that they did include all faults. I’ve done loads of these deja vue replication flights and we always look for that sort of unrealistic replication. The pilots from the third party airlines present want a safe outcome and are not going to approve a botched pantomime of a demo. Yes they do know it’s coming up and are ready. So you approach it from the point of view “Things that now lie in the past, once lay in the future” so you try to see it through the eyes of a regular line pilot who might be on day 5 and of average skill.
Hope that helps?
