In view of ever increasing official evidence that loss of control (pilot error for want of being politically incorrect) is now the latest major cause of accidents, then throw caution to the winds and work up some sweat with practice ILS with 35 knot crosswind landings on limiting length runways, instrument let downs on standby navigation and flight instruments, stall recovery and unusual attitude recovery at 37,000ft.
Those all have very valid places in recurrent training, but not as a LOFT imho.
Training those in quick succession via sim resets/circuits (in the case of X-wind landings, stalls at FL370) is the way to go. Doing them as a LOFT exercise accompllishes some benefit for the HP only for one landing/stall.
LOFT exercises should be about dealing with real world problems in real time as a crew (both pilots and simulated cabin crew) for CRM purposes, liaison with ATC/other aircraft for procedural issues, contacting company engineering and ops for diagnosis and decision inputs, in order to best simulate the real world.
The problems introduced should be operational and could include (but not be limited to) technical failure, operational requirements, weather related, passenger related, security induced etc and have side issues such as political (go/no go countries, FIR clearances), terrain, fuel, operational minima (MOA due winds, MDA, runway load and bearing limitations,etc), procedural (NATS track procedures for wx/technical).
