What we do is get owner pilots up to speed flying 250 knot+ aircraft in the IFR environment. Of course there is basic VFR orientation, maneuvers, lots of approaches and engine out training. We discuss risk management, apply it in the air but cannot do "hair on fire" hazardous training more appropriate for a simulator. Regards, Jeff Edwards Jeff, I didn't mean to imply anything about what happend to Shannon, but thanks for the explanation anyway. re: the sim maybe the next best thing, lacking a sim, is to do the hair on fire stuff "chair flying" on the ground.
