For SIM detail, expect the 733, 757 or 767. 40 Min flight with a SID, tracking to/away from a beacon, into steep turns then 'resume own navigation' into the hold which was discussed in the brief. Straight into a STAR (no notice, and as I went overhead the beacon expecting another hold, so I guess he's looking at flight mgt skills) and ILS. Land and then position back on runway for another take-off but this time an engine out after V1.

As for the routes, they've got a few, and you only find out which one when you turn up.

Don't deviate by more than 100 ft, and don't miss any headings. Full use of MCC/CRM required.

Instructor/TRE doesn't say very much, no coaching, and is in the LHS. I'm non TR. If you have a TR expect a single engine ILS but you may use the FD and will be asked some technical questions.

Compass tests followed, including some spatial awareness, numeracy etc.
