If you use a sim from the start WITH an instructor then there is no need for 'retaught' - LOOKOUT is one of the may aspects of procedure flying

Sims have come a very long way over the years - attitude flying can be simulated perfectly now - with a room full of students - much better than on a no flying day at Abingdon

That is impressive software.

I struggled going from steam to glass and would have loved something like that so I could push buttons without interruption from the other seat and get to know the systems better and form the muscle memory in slow time.
