While nowhere near the same as the real thing, I've practiced the approach to TEX lots of times in
FS-X. I've
ever never lived through it in the Lear but the C200 seems pretty easy to bring in without bending. I can't imagine having to do that for a living or, with pax.
Hats off to you pilots...you must have 'nads-0-steel.
