I'd say no, since there was a dude in T-1s that went DNIF right before his Mission Fam check, so they let him do it in the sim. Supposedly this dude had struggled throughout, so the writing was on the wall. Think he knew what was up when they said "Oh don't worry about flying your final check, you can do it in a sim". Yeah, he got a UAV (UAS, RPA, HPV, whatever they're calling it this week).
