 To answer your second question-- HPAT is oriented to providing quality flight
training that is Lancair aircraft specific. 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.

 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.
