Did 2 type ratings on my FAA ATP in the last 2 years and a recurrency check last month with a P1 upgrade in the sim and the US require steep turns, stalls, clean and dirty, and unusual attitudes one nose up and one nose down with no bank less than 50 degrees, a sim session each for hot wx and cold wx ops with single engine and single engine go arounds and V1 cuts, 2 hand flown single engine appch and 2 auto pilot appchs, ILS and ILS back course, VOR, VOR DME, NDB and GPS appc with circle to land appch. A flapless appch without glide path indicators like PAPI`s etc. It is a workout and a real test. That is what is required for a type rating and upgrade in the US at the moment.
