The Instrument Proficiency Check requires the examiner set up the aircraft in an unusual attitude and then when commanded, the candidate must recover using the flight instruments. The last one I did was in an airplane with the new Garmin G600 autopilot. It has a "level" button which when pressed will engage the autopilot, if it is not on, and then automatically return the airplane to straight and level, so that is what the candidate did when I told him to recover, which kind of took the fun out of the exercise from my POV...
