Unfortunately, we frequently see arrogent posts.....but anyways..... perhaps it is cheaper to have ab initios. And no doubt there are benefits as mentioned above. Am only indirectly familiar with one company that does it. Of course, they have to do their touch and goes in the real aircraft and have had quite a few hard landings but perhaps it is cheaper overall when this is included.
