Really not a big deal. You MUST know the profiles. I would HIGHLY recommend knowing the FO flows as well. The captain flows really aren't that important. If you aren't used to it, the FMS and FCP will be a bit of a learning curve. All the instructors there are regional pilots and very patient and knowledgeable. They are very good at teaching/explaining the sim. I can tell this class will definitely be a value when I start class. Knowing how to fly with the FCP and how to do V1 cuts, single engine go-arounds, etc. will be very beneficial. Don't stress studying night and day before class. Get the profiles down, and know the flows and you will be just fine.

In a nutshell, if you can't pass this class, you shouldn't even be flying a cessna.
