Pre study guide
I received a Flight Safety pre study guide for the Sovereign course a week before the class is supposed to start. It looks like just a way to get a head start on some limits and memory items. The procedures and limits all look to be very straight forward, unfortunately there’s nothing in there about the avionics which I think may be the most challenging part of the new plane. The Honeywell instrumentation and FMS will be fun to learn and hopefully since I have no experience in this type of setup I’ll be able to come in with a clean slate and not have to unlearn any old habits.
The aircraft is supposed to arrive on Friday so I may get a look at it before taking off for Wichita on Saturday…
