I have yet to hear of anyone who had to do an NDB approach in the sim portion of the interview. Usually it is a very short flight. Start with an ODP, 40 - 60 miles enroute at 220 knots indicated. Expect a DME arc to a VOR/DME approach (because the ILS is out of service). WX will probably be reported below minimums for the approach just before or after the FAF. Expect a missed approach then holding. ATC (instructor) will tell you the ILS is back in service, you fly via a transition route to the IAF, shoot the approach to straight in minimums. Taxi off the runway. Sim session is over. Don't forget to do flow checks for each phase of flight, and call them out. Pretty straight forward
I was given PUW - LWS on my interview.
