The website is
SmartCockpit - Airline training guides, Aviation, Operations, Safety
Go under the aircraft tab at the top and it brings you to a page where you have
acces to a bunch of free aircraft manuals.
Are there any negatives to learning the information here as opposed to at ground school? Trying to avoid putting bad information into my brain so I don't have to relearn something. Thanks

Brandon:
Without sounding condescending, your question is somewhat vague. Since this is under "corporate" one can only assume that you're flying in the corporate world.
If you have a bid on a specific piece of equipment, I'm sure you can get the Limitations, Emergency Procedures and QRC items to pre-study. As a former instructor, I can tell you that students who came to initial ground school with those items pretty well mastered, were way ahead of the game. What are you planning to study with the AFM for a specific aircraft ? I think your approach is wrong based on what you've written.
It also wouldn't hurt you to have a spell check software package. Without knowing you, opinions are formed based on your written words and misspelled words give a somewhat unfavorable impression.
