What are the conditions under which simulated emergency procedures may be conducted?

Simulated emergency procedures should be conducted under visual meteorological conditions (VMC) during daylight hours. This allows pilots to maintain better situational awareness and ensure safety while practicing such critical maneuvers. During the day and in VMC, visibility is generally good, and pilots can see the horizon and surrounding terrain, making it easier to maintain control of the aircraft while performing simulations. These conditions enhance safety and the ability to effectively manage the simulated emergencies, as students can focus on the procedure without the additional challenges posed by limited visibility or night conditions, which can impact their performance and assessment. Other conditions, such as night or instrument meteorological conditions (IMC), introduce complexities that make it less safe to practice simulated emergencies, as those environments hinder visibility and increase the difficulty of executing maneuvering tasks effectively.
