I went from a Metro to a GIV, trust me studying up on the FMS will get you alot farther than memorizing power settings and such. If you can figure out the FMS first the rest will be easy

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. Right now I am just in the interviewing process. I just want as much info as I can have before a possible test flight. Once/If I get the opportunity to fly it I will read anything I can and study up on the systems. I taught myself the G1000 from the manual, there are a lot of little tricks you can learn by reading the manual cover to cover.

I am just doing what I can to make sure I have the opportunity to do so.
Thanks Again

There is only so many hours a day you can spend at the swim up bar before you turn into a prune. I can get WIFI here while lying next to the pool.

I can't think of a better place to study. Gotta go here comes another round of margaritas.

When you get back here I am kicking your ass. Get off FI and start poking mexicans.

If you are going on some flights with the company, learn how to support the captain, getting out approach plates and putting them away, know how to file a flight plan and use a radio, go off frequency to coordinate with the FBO etc. Don't sit in the FBO twittling your thumbs, get the aircraft cleaned up and supervise the fueling.
