Hey Man don't get frustrated, keep working on those profiles, profiles, profiles. Keep working on those memory items as well. Sit across a wall and trow a ball with each hand while citing the profiles. Spend your entire day working on those profiles. We have all been there, it takes a bit to get used to it. I had 1300 TT when I went into the ATR sim and I got my @$$ kicked the first few lessons but once I got the hang of flying the airplane and dealing with the profiles, memory items, checklist and dealing with scenarios it was actually a blast when we started doing V1 cuts and single engine go arounds.
It was funny because you could ask me any of the profiles or memory items and I would be able to recite them back pretty decent. Throw me in the sim for instance and give me a GPWS warning in IMC then an engine failure on the climbout and then as soon as were done with that an engine fire. I think when the engine fire came I was like what the heck out loud. Probably quite comical for somebody to watch all the hands going everywhere the pure panic of 2 newbs trying to recite memory items run a QRH. When we broke out of the clouds to land engine out I let out a small sigh of relief then realized I'm 6000ft high how do I get this darn thing down. My legs were shaking when I stepped out of sim. Looking back maybe it was fun but I was done afterwards and ready for bed.
