My sim check was in an Electra and did a one engine approach into SNA to get my job. I have never flown an Electra. It worked out fine but you had to know how to fly in the 80's. A bored check airman pulled the only engine running fire handle at 200 ft to make it more fun. No visual display in that era, just instrument guidance. Everybody was qualified back then. If you needed the computer to get on the ground you couldn't get a job.
