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).

So I'm reading my ASA Practical test standards booklet for Instrument
Airplane and it says:

(pg.6)

2. pass the appropriate instrument rating knowledge test SINCE THE
BEGINNING OF THE 24TH MONTH BEFORE THE MONTH IN WHICH THE PRACTICAL
TEST WAS TAKEN.

This means if I took the knowledge test 2/22/05, it's good until the
end of the month, 2/28/07, right? Can anyone make sense of the above?Sounds like you just did. The results are good for 24 months.

Of course, if you think that's just too long, you can always take
the test again ;-)

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 ;-)
