Multiple system failures and engine fires are SOP during sim training.


After all, that's what the sim is for (besides economy): To train
situations which you wouldn't want to train in a real airplane.

To a degree that is true. However, Flightsafety is not allowed to do that to
initial or recurrent customers during normal training.

Sometimes there is some spare time left over and the customer can request
multiple failures. Or the customer can request approaches into some of the
more difficult airports on the planet.

What CAN happen is a failure, then a botched attempt by the crew to fix the
failure. The crew can create there own secondary failures. The ride can go
rapidly go down hill from there. But the instructor only lets you dig your
own grave, he doesn't actively push multiple failure buttons.
