Most level D simulators i trained in had preprogrammed UA recovery training situations. With a click of the instructor the simulator moved into an unusual attitude and we as trainees had to recover. It used to be a standard exercise in every simulator training (every 6 months, right after stall recovery training), but lately i haven't done it, mostly due to lack of time. Things seem to have changed, where we were required to do at least one single engine raw data approach on every simulator event we now can use the flight director and autopilot, which is watering down the training effect in my opinion considerably, but alas i'm just a line pilot, not a training manager.
