Agree on the skids front but EOL can be done in the sim which is of course how front line types practice it. Having gone back to real EOL after being of heavy heli for 9 years it really is an eye opener. But using the latest training design terminology, (Difficulty, importance, frequency) and EOL is quite important and difficult but so infrequently required, the training requirement is going to put in the sim.
