Pilot and mech,

You seem like a smart and experienced aviator. Silver woul be lucky to have you. The Saab isn't hard, most people get through training like any other airline, by studying hard and working with others in class. But I will say that any person I have seen struggle it is because they are not instrument current and PROFICIENT. Every time. You can't get ahead of the sim if you have to think about what is happening next on the approach. But I think you already know that. So brush up in your scan and procedures and get in a sim with a cfii or something.

Good luck!
