That sort of testing is done by Airline selection groups such as CTC But I totally agree with you that in Private flying we would not want anything like testing.

The reason for that is that the majority of Private Pilots fly for fun on days and weather that they select and as it is for fun they avoid conditions which would test them beyond their experience or capability levels.

But it is when such pilots go out of their comfort zones voluntarely or otherwise that any flaws, lack of training/ currency or natural abilities will rear its ugly head often with disasterous consequencies.

It has been argued that brain freeze accounts for the majority of crashes loss of control etc.

The only way to raise those brain freeze levels is by loading more and more info into the main computer memory ie by training, familiarity and experience meaning the graphics card memory has less to deal with especially in high overload situations
