Most airline or simulator companies usually have their own specific profile. These can vary from the simple straight ahead departure with a standard noise-abate leveling off at 5000' to the full-on SID leading onto in-flight emergencies and then into the hold followed by a procedural letdown and approach.
Either way they all lead to the same thing - an assessment of your performance against a known standard.
There are various elements to the simulator profile you are given to fly. The vertical profile from airfield elevation (aerodrome ref point) to the level-off altitude. The horizontal profile (SID for example) that gets us to where we need to be and the CRM aspects that requires you to communicate effectively (what did you say?) and manage the aircraft and its systems. Anything else? - Let's not forget checklists, general handling, Q-codes and airmanship to name but a few!
So what's the secret? What are the assessors looking for? How good do you have to be? Why are you having to prove yourself like this? Good questions all of them.
