I guess he didn't practice enough. Or, more specifically, he didn't
practice that specific approach in that particular whether with that
particular malfunction. Perhaps practicing that exact scenario might
have helped him (I'm pretty sure it would have). However, the real
problem was that he allowed himself to get into that situation in the
first place. In the final analysis, MSFS made no difference at all.


Maybe it did. Maybe doing it on MSFS made him THINK he could do it in real
life.

MSFS won't simulate intermittent fuel system failures over multiple
flights. He could not have done it on MSFS.
