Touchdown! Greaser!
Yeah B. Anyway, there aren't any required flight maneuvers, I think. Maybe there should be. I'm thinking go arounds.

"holy crap there's a moose on the runway, what do you do?"
Shoot it, clean it, tell the CFI I’ll be back to pick him up.
Sounds like you are administering some sort of check ride.The flight reviews I give I first ask what level cert they have, and we chit chat about what they should know they can and can't do with that cert. Get a feel for what they need to work on in the air. Then we talk airspace, weather, systems, and I dig out a paper (yep, paper) sectional. Ask em what sh-...uh crap is on the chart. Hit some weird things like "what are the black rings around these airports." After I figure they didn't just memorize answers for their written, we go fly. I do an abbreviated check ride with them and tailor it towards their weak spots. If not, it might go something like this:
Take off normally, climb to xxxx.
"Close your eyes, I have the plane."
"Hey, I want a good look at that barn from all sides."
"I want a 180 degree turn, and I want us 1000ft higher (or lower) when we roll out of it."
Meanwhile we are meandering towards another airport doing slow flight, heading changes, climbs descents, stalls, I pull the power.
"Ran out of fuel what do you do?"
Hopefully they land on the runway.
Taxi back, "Half the runway was lost in an earthquake, we can't stay here."
Head back to the previous airport (maybe).
"flaps are bound up, all the troubleshooting in the world won't get them down"
"holy crap there's a moose on the runway, what do you do?"
Do some more maneuvers on the way back. Maybe commercial maneuver intro if they are private.
"When you land keep the nose wheel off until I say so"
That usually chews up an hour plus in the air.
