No they don't, I used to work on the simulator that most of all US pilots train on. There's no way to simulate water landings - sure they practice flying down to water and landing, but that's not a water landing that's a landing with a blue ground instead of a gray ground. The crew trains with rafts, PFDs, et al in pools for evacs, but the bottom line is that there is NO WAY to simulate water landings. The most you can do is tell pilots to pick lakes and rivers over the ocean and then ... good luck. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:285173 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
