Fly some approaches to landings and go arounds to Lower DA usually based on DH in the sim.
That's pretty much it.

Basically you're doing the same physical approach just to lower mins. I ought to look up some more in-depth differences since I have some free time.

To add a little more (and I believe the procedure can differ some from one airline to the next - so this is one version), it's a "monitored" approach down to Radar Altimeter mins, with the FO always flying and executing the missed, OR the CA, who's guarding the controls, taking control upon seeing runway environment prior to mins. A few practice runs and review and it's pretty straightforward.

Agreed. Nearly died landing a 727 into BWI because the captain basically stalled it during exactly this type of transition. He took a long time to start actually flying, flared to low...Yank, balloon, SLAM!

When the F9 flying went away so did the Cat 2. They're not training people Cat 2 anymore. You used to have to be based in a base that did F9 flights in order to be qual'd. The only way they justified the cost was because it impacted the bottom line. AA/US, DL, UAL aren't going to pay for it so the crews that fly those flights are not qualified.
