Yeah to a real pilot in a real airplane, but not to a simmer.
Simmers generally have the same priorities. That's what simulation is all
about.
Delusional.
You've already said you avoid things like VFR traffic and NORDO aircraft,
which are very common in real flying ...
Not over LAX. I like to fly in Class A, B, C, or D airspace, and NORDO
aircraft are scarce there for obvious reasons. I do fly in other airspaces,
but often at such out-of-the-way airports that there's nobody else around.
If you are less than 10,000 feet, LAX is surrounded by places with lots
of VFR and NORDO traffic in the real world.
The "out-of-the-way airports" are where, in the real world, you are most
likely to find NORDO traffic.
... so why the obsession with simulating
the dreaded "impossible turn", which is very rare by comparison in real
flying?
I don't simulate this turn. I rarely practice engine-out procedures, and even
if I did, the impossible turn is such a stellar example of poor judgment that
I'd not likely be tempted to try it.
So why do you seem so obsesed with it?
