I recently read an article about how some pilot simulator training includes instances where the pilots are challenged by the introduction of last minute changes in circumstances in the very last moments of their approach to the runway. Despite being well informed of these changes (which include things like another plane taxiing directly into their path on the ground), many of them have trouble changing the trajectory they are already on. As you can imagine, the results are not good, and everyone involved ends up grateful it was only a simulation.
