“Pilots at airlines receive almost no hands-on training in how to recover from aerodynamic stalls and other extreme scenarios, according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The reason for the glaring shortfall is that current flight simulators, the backbone of airline training programs, cannot accurately reproduce such calamities. … Even advocates of the improved simulators say they are not foolproof. For instance, the machines can't reproduce violent motions that a real plane encounters when it goes out of control.”
