Pilots are required to undergo simulator training and checks as well as cockpit checks with a check pilot on a regular basis, and required to recover aircraft from a variety of unusual attitudes, instrument losses, engine losses and other emergency conditions (simulators are often hair-raisingly realistic on these issues - pilots come out of the sim with a lot more sweat stains than they wen in with).

In a word, "no!"
