In my time with the Irish Loco, we had some issues on the line with engine failures. All that was trained in the sim was either a straight engine failure or a fire/severe damage leading you down one of two obvious pathways.

However, the line event most commonly encountered was a bird strike followed by a stall/surge and crews were applying either of the above checklists, and forgetting the existence of the memory items and checklist for a Surge/Limit/Stall because it was never trained.

This was partially a sim issue, as the engine surge malfunction in the sim was quite weak, predictable and easily controllable, rather than the banging, vibration and large yawing moments experienced in real world events.
