You can do it for all three. No conventional check ride. There is an MAnuever Validation, which is v1cut, se ils, etc. You can train to proficency on it. You're not supposed to be able to fail it but you can get an incomplete (run out of time). They also use some maneuvers like the v1 cuts and se ils and grade your first attempt and use the de-indentified data to see how the pilot group is doing.
Then the Line Oriented Evaluation is the checking event. It is a line flight with a malfunction or two thrown in. It is the jeopardy event.
Much better training as it is closer to real line life.
Also my current airline, the first two legs of IOE are scored on various areas of operations (take-off, taxi procedure, etc.) on a scale of 1 to 4. The data is de identified and used to check how the initial training is doing.
