Simulation of real aircraft accidents/crashes/disasters

Use an available flight simulator to simulate real aircraft accidents. Example: TK 1951 crash in Shiphol / Amsterdam. To simulate this case, you need to be able to have a auto-throttle model that gets AGL altitude data from aircraft altitude radar. Then you have to make the radar fail so that it shows -8 ft while the aircraft is at 2000 ft. And finally the auto throttle model should put the engines into retard mode and decrease the speed to stall values which in turn results in the crash of aircraft short of the runway (controlled flight into terrain).
