Default Re: The Aviation thread

Bit of a threadmine, but I thought some of you guys might get a kick out of this video in the 777 simulator.
Routinely airline pilots have to demonstrate in the simulator what you can't practice for in a real jet (for obvious reasons) for the type you're endorsed on, and often a check and training captain will do things like shut off the fuel to an engine to simulate a failure. Failures are also programmable from the console, and this is what happens when your CRM has a moment off.
