Flight Safety ". . .a life and death decision. The simulator seems like a good place to do this.
Keep in mind that any simulator lacks true airplane fidelity, especially on the ground, . . . with emphasis on true aquaplanning, airplane inertia, split screen visual acuity, lack of side views, noises, heavy rain on windscreen, windshield wipers' smears, etc . . . .

As previously mentioned: Simulator training has more to do in avoidance, rather than in extricating yourself from the snafu of landing too far down the length of a wet pavement. Because if in the simulator you were to touch halfway down the pavement, you would fail your sim check.
