[quote user="243129"]This is true and the tendency to allow that can only be observed in real time situations not from the secure confines of a simulator.[/quote] That is nonsense. There are a lot of situation to be staged on the road for training purposes. If the canditate is lucky he doesn't encounter such situation in training. And then? He gets surprised unprepared by such a situation. And now he might react fear-led with unknown consequences. And here would be discussed how a railroad can send a seemingly untrained person on the road. Here good training in a full motion simulator can familiarize the candidates with situations that can't be trained on the road. He learns how to react to such situations until it is almost automatic. I have two school class mates who bacame captains at Lufthansa. They told me that they quickly forget being in a simulator in very critical situation. It is much better to train the loss of 2 engines of a 4-engine aircraft in a simulator than in the air. Simulator training is not meant to replace on the road training but supplement it. Deutsche Bahn trains about 23,000 engineer per year in simulators. Engineers get acquainted with new locomotives in a simulator long before the first locomotive is delivered. Regards, Volker
