Airbus 320 Unpowered flight

Just something i've been pondering of late. In our ground sim training (all works 'cept no movement or view out of the windscreen) we all had a go at a normal circuit and landing followed by flying with no FBW just using the stab and rudder.
Question is - do you train for this on the sim on a regular basis, how easy/hard did you find it and has there ever been a need for it on a real flight?

I have no experience flying wise other than sitting down the back enjoying a snooze or three and found the FBW less attemp extremely difficult.

No flames please i'm just curious
