Tee Emm, Virgin actually gives the applicant the flight profile (with weather details and briefing notes) that they use in the sim. The sim company that I worked for actually programmed the flight into their sim.

We had a couple of bookings from people preparing for the interview and it was interesting to note their improvement over the course of a few hours. The steep turn manoeuvre was probably the most difficult especially as the whole flight (until the ILS) was done at flaps 5 and around 170 kts.
