'Incapacitation' training
We fly in two UK groups, one 2-seater Permit and another 4-seater C-172.
One or two regular pax (wife/partners), have asked about being trained to land our a/c in case of pilot incapacity (heart attack, for instance). Not up to solo standard, purely taking over in an emergency, with some reasonable chance of survival of occupants and even the a/c. Perhaps 4-5 hours of basic intro with an instructor or CRI?
Our insurers are interested, and willing to discuss (to include landings or touch and goes? - my answer was landings if possible).
I'd appreciate an instructor's viewpoint on this idea.

Thanks for your replies.
The difference for us is that any flying school would automatically be covered for ab initio training. Our flying group insurance could possibly have a 50% loading for ab initio instruction on our own a/c.
However, we are discussing with our insurer and hopefully they will agree.
