The actual sim evaluation is pretty straight forward. Constant speed climb to 5000, a turn, and then a climbing turn up to 8000, and then make a 180 degree turn and then turn back to the original heading. Then fly direct to the VOR and then on the way you get the holding instructions, do the entry to the hold, and halfway through the entry you will get the vector for the ILS, fly to DH and the evaluation ends there, you can land it but your landing is not graded because most people dont even stop it on the runway.

If you have no glass experience time, some advice I can give you is so try and stick to the EXACT pitch and power settings. The sim evaluator will give you a real good briefing on these, and he will help out if you and your partner can't remember some of the numbers, he's there really just to see your instrument flying. Also on the ILS, the CRJ-700 has slats so you fly down the glideslope in a pitch up attitude so dont be alarmed when you need 2 degrees nose pitch up to maintain the glideslope. The guy in the left seat is there to assist you, so if you need him, have to set the exact power setting you want, and tell him to adjust heading/speed bugs. Otherwise just fly it like any other plane, just remember you need to stay ahead of it because it is a really quick plane.

Hope this helps
