MOS 12.01 definitions defines the FCM proficiency check as covering the items in 12.05 that are listed as conversion training and FCM proficiency check.
Specifically
Even through that MOS ref refers just to training, the Definitions link same to the Proficiency Check.

Yep, it gets caught up in a lot of circular links in my reading! 'training in normal, non-normal and emergencies' but does not specify that it must involve actual simulated emergencies (I am really referring to in-flight, most of us in the small aeroplane air transport world do not have appropriate sims available)
Wondering if one developed an alternative acceptable means of accomplishing the training that did not pose as much risk for some of the benefit of recurrent training it would be beneficial, specifically in the small aeroplane multi IFR world - you'd have an IPC every 12 months checking simulated emergencies with a flight examiner and an OPC every 6 months checking everything else and perhaps doing touch-drills and scenario-based discussions in cockpit.
