In 80's UK CAA base training check had to include a non-VASI approach and 3 night landings. Under JAR I think both were removed. Others, e.g. Base trainers, will confirm or correct. Under RLD rules, 80's, on live a/c, I had to do all engine circuits, low level circuit, engine out circuit, no guidance circuit. Night was sim. EASA? Again we ask a base trainer.
