MJB,
Yes, they are. It's fundamental knowledge and tested during 6 monthly OPCs and on a rotational basis during shift briefing emergency drill training.
Of course each unit has had it's own way of doing things but NPAS is standardising these things.
The units I've worked at all have large photographs of the various parts of the cockpit displayed in the briefing area along with 3 copies of the flight reference cards, one for each crew member. Typically at shift brief a TFO is asked to pick at random a card that displays a caution or warning, the pilot and other TFO then act in accordance with the FRCs, then if required the pilot gives an explanation of the drill and the underlying system including any limitations. A re-currency board is then marked with the initials of each participant against the list of emergencies covered, in this way all emergencies are covered around every 4 months or so and any changes are fed into the system through revisions to the FRCs.
