1. How conflictive is spending 2 weeks studying the shepard only to get ground school and sim training before the test which can get on the way of my written preparation?

2. Where can I get specifics abut the course asap? I have no glass nor turbine experience so I gotta lot to cover. I recently started reading The Turbines Pilot’s Flight Manual. Though a great book I’d like more specific stuff about the E145 which would most likely be the assigned A/C.

3. Could you guys please go over the non-training stuff, like the hotel, laundry, eating options, is breakfast included, gym facilites (if any), possible training locations, etc. Pretty much anything I can get familiarized with before arriving for boot camp so I can focus on the more technical stuff right away.

Thanks in advance.
