During type rating it is conducted only as a DEMO in after takeoff scenario

I'm a tad out of touch with the training game these days but some of us used to make it a private requirement using spare time during an endorsement to ensure that pilots could handle several of the unlikely but very high risk scenarios.

For me and several of my colleagues in a previous life that included a total (or as close as we could make it in the particular sim) loss of pressure readouts - low vis takeoff with a single pilot no help recovery via an ILS to minimums.

It goes without saying that included no FMS, FD, etc. Realish sim flying.

Allowed us to sleep well at night.
