The only thing don't do is fire up the APU, or run the APU fire test if someone's in the aft equipment bay
Also, you may want to talk to your gnd instructor, because in order to get inside the hangar, you need a gate code to get inside, and someone can walk you in.
That's pretty cool

. I believe that is a good training program, especially if they allow you to sit in the sim and observe. As new guy to the CRJ, watching other people perform the whole deal, I think that should be very, I mean very helpful; wow

. I am excited already. Thanks rvr350 for the inputs.
One other things though: I heard that you can jumpseat before you OE for a specified amount of hours. Can you do that also, before going to the sim after passing your oral? Thanks bunch!
