My father is a retired airline pilot and instructor. Everything that can fail in the simulator is fair game. Pilots have recurrent trainings all the time during their career. They get tested every X months. They have medical exams.

And that is how it should be. Pilots must be able to handle every possible failure. They don’t need to know every single procedure by heart, they’ve got the manuals in the cockpit for non-urgent procedures.

My father loves _flying_. He’s from a generation that trained on airplanes with little automation. He often talked about younger pilots relying too much on instruments. He would get annoyed with pilots that didn’t appreciate manually flying a plane.
