It will also drop you straight into VRS if you engage GTC-H (Ground Trajectory Control - Hover) from forward flight with a low power setting as engaging GTC-H does not automatically engage a Vertical axis.
You need relatively calm conditions of course. Not an issue if you have taken the time to actually read the AFCS FOBN.

VR is a great training tool for some things but it would suffer from the same issues - accurately reproducing handling qualities in hazardous scenarios.

I dont know how many times I have sat in a Level-D sim thinking that the damn thing does not fly like the real thing. My point is that its better than nothing as its akin to not teaching spin recovery to PPL students except have a quick chat about it. Same here. VR and modern tech has its advantages in certain training exercises in the same way you have to teach upset recovery in a real airplane as being upside down in real life is more unsettling than in a sim, but again doing all this in a Citabria is a whole lot easier than a 737also, so somewhat limited use also.

Vortex ring protection is only applicable with a vertical axis engaged which does not occur with selection of GTC-H from forward flight unless you add a vertical mode manually.
