Just learn the speeds and power settings (although in the sim you may need a couple of % more as it is a bit draggier) and you'll be fine. Though if your not in current flying practice I'd try to grab some time in a sim of some sort, even if its a clockwork FNPT type, to work on your scan as it can all go wrong very quickly if you get behind the aircraft. The profile is exactly as it is in the text in the briefing pack, and they went through it again in the classroom before I did the actual sim detail so you are left in no doubt as what is required. Engine failure is a bit of a pain if your used to piston/turboprop twins as very little rudder is needed to combat the yaw produced, the rudder is damm effective and you can very easily roll it all the way over inverted if you give it a boot full..... so squeeze her gently
