And other than destroying an airframe or developing an advanced simulator, its difficult to train for just reading about it on paper... | |

On top of that, additional training would be required to effectively steer the aircraft under a chute which most passengers wouldn't take. A big selling point of the chute is for passengers to be able to deploy it if the pilot is incapacitated. | |
