Sims and Crosswinds
Having done some work in flyouts on the 787 and involved in qualifications of other sims, it certainly isnt the modeling, QTGs or sims that are at fault. My experience is that the problem (at least on Boeings) lies with inexperienced instructors. It takes a good instructor to be able to teach crosswind/flare technique,and as a result, most instructors/standards departments, teach to what the can cope with.
Todays full flight sims are technological marvels. It's too bad that the pilots who fly them, want to bail out of them when they have extra time, at the end of a training session.
