Wayne,
I understand the question, but did not have to demonstrate that particular skill.
The experience started with an oral exam that lasted nearly 2 1/2 hours. It was thorough and informative. I actually enjoyed it (after it was over).
The check ride consisted of a normal takeoff (although I had practiced zero/zero takeoffs often), and then about 90 minutes of turns, climbs, descents, turns, climbing turns, turning descents, steep turns, timed turns, unusual attitudes, more turns, rapid and repeated changes in altitude and direction, simulated engine failure (just spooled back to neutral), holds, and three approaches (VOR, ILS with engine out to full stop and an LDA with AI failure).
So, I did my first IFR to VFR on top last week. It was way cool! I still haven't done a real approach, but hope to soon.
Jim
