Also, are steep turns required for the practical test? I don't see
them in the standards, but I've heard they are.

In some cases, the D.E. has a choice from a number of activities,
like "pick any two of the following 5" for example.

Steep turns are part of the PP-ASEL PTS, but I'd have to look at
it to see if they are actually required (I think they are).


Oops, I see now that this was for the IR Practical Test. No, I don't
think steep turns are part of the IR practical. Recovery from unusual
attitudes is (while under the hood, of course) ... and some of those
can be pretty steep ;-)
