There is a V1 cut as part of the test for DEC, (but not for F/O I think). If your bumpf doesn't detail the departure and arrival to be used, and a brief summary of what will be done, then you haven't been given what should have been - unless things have changed recently.

However, the test is pretty standard stuff, although those used to the latest boeings or Airbus will likely find it very demanding to fly this spongy, clockwork ergonomic dog of an aeroplane (if the sim is anything to go by); If pulled the stick in my aeroplane like what is needed with this bird, there would be a 10 foot trench down the middle of the runway; (No, I didn't pass!)
