Need some G-IV help/info

[msw]

I will likely be going to G-IV Initial school later on this summer, and wanted to get a start on learning some of the stuff I need to know. (And, just to get this out of the way first: No, I am not PFT'ing!)

I already have the FlightSafety Pilot Training Manual for the G-IV/G300/G400, but was wondering if there was anything else anyone had - or was willing to share - that might be of benefit, such as: Notes/gouge from anyone who had already been through G-IV initial; misc articles of interest; whatever. Any help appreciated. I am basically a helo and King Air guy, and this will be my first jet training experience, so I am a little bit nervous, and want to "pre-study" as much as I can, whatever I can. Respond on-list or via PM as you feel may be appropriate.

If you are going to flight safety, they do a great job. No pre-studying required at all. If you wanted to get a jump on the sim, and are not used to glass, look through that section. Round dials to glass can be a challenge, as is the FMS.

Flight safety does a great job though!

I agree with d.fitz - you should have no worries about going to Flight Safety. I would recommend making yourself some flash cards on aircraft limitations. Practice daily on Microsoft Flight Sim because you will be going faster and the G4 takes a little more time to slow down versus the King Air. If you are close to a Flight Safety, visit them and become familiar with the cockpit (they usually have paper cockpit posters to view) and they may let you sit in on a lesson. But overall, Flight Safety does an excellent job - have fun!
