I don't remember well (it's been more than a year that I flew the thing), but I'd guess he did.
Whether it was operating is a different question.
That airplane had the instrumentation to challenge a 737 MAX.
And the software problems to boot...
So much of the training was troubleshooting the gadgets, which made a VFR only motor-glider a useless fully IFR capable bird.
And Buzz didn't fly IFR either.
The panel was all glass.
Without remembering, I'd hedge my bets on the side of "the capabilities where there".
