There is something that needs to be said though for REAL world experience... not a flight simulator. When you do a type rating you go through the sessions and cover all the required bases. But no training can prepare you for every circumstance... failures are rarely textbook, especially in highly complex aircraft. Dealing with a strange situation is a lot easier at 120kts in a 206 in vmc octa than in a Saab or 737 at 250kts in the terminal area with low ceilings. Scenario a has nothing to do with scenario b; it has everything to do with it.
