Re: Trained for?

nobody has yet managed to replicate the successful landing on the Hudson River using a simulator.

Not quite - what the NTSB simulator tests tried to do was establish whether a return could have been made to the original (or alternate) airport. But even with the crew prepared for the engine failure it wasn't always possible to return and land safety.

The concern was that in this phase of flight with both engines out the checklist procedure was too long and to see if this could be improved to have allowed them to get back to a runway.
