I recall John Deakin wrote a column that touched on this several years ago, when he started flying G-IVs. His point was that it would be beneficial to let pilots loose in the sim to fly the thing from time to time, free of check capts walloping them with V1 cuts, multiple failures, etc. Give the converting pilot a sense of how the aircraft works, and letting them explore.

Given the cost of and demand for sim sessions I suspect this sort of thing would be a bit of a stretch, but food for thought, anyhoo.
