If you want the full story:
On the B707, S/Os used to do what was called a second class endorsement. Training to be able to T/o and land the aircraft but not legally allowed to do it on line. A licence renewal was 1/2 hour at Avalon which was T/o and landing, twin locater approach and low level circuit, assymmetric as time permitted.
Come the jumbojet, this was too expensive, so the sop to the pilots was as above in the simulator and HS125 training as base training/checking on a real aircraft.
That constituted 2 hrs of " practice" and a 30' licence renewal (check).
In the practice, it was a combination of ILS, NDB, assymmetric, low level circuits etc etc etc.
The L/R consisted of a NDB,an ILS, a circuit, an assymmetric circuit.
That was it.
Conducted over two days, Narromine or Avalon sometimes you went straight back to SYD, sometimes you cooled your heels in the Lara pub until the "big" jet finished base training and went back to SYD.
In hindsight it was more of a funtwo days than a PIA as it seemed sometimes.
