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.
Don't listen to this guy. He thinks he some kind of super pilot. The course is no walk in the park. 8 hours of pure hell a day. If you don't study they will be able to tell and you probably won't pass the class. If you're not studying every night and staying late everynight, expect to either be sent home or forgotten about.
You better know the material front to back, captain and fo flows, and everything within reach in your brain.
