typically two check rides. The first one is known as maneuvers validation. 4 hours of engine fires failures, hydraulic failures and electrical problems. Low weather landings and missed approaches. The second checkride is a normal flight which consist of two legs point a to point b. Usually something minor goes wrong like weather change or a flight control malfunction.
