I think even in these days when training emphasises CRM we are still bound by training scenarios from the piston engine era. All type rated pilots today are proficient in dealing with an engine fire/failure at V1. The chance of actually encountering this with a modern jet aircraft is very small. Apart from seeing a chart labelled 'flight with unreliable airspeed'. I have never been exposed to any simulator training similar to the AF scenario. Should there be a major re-think of initial and re-current type rating requirements?
