Allegedly no but if you show our oral questions to someone that flies for any other -200 operator they’re dumbfounded.
The key takeaway is do not trust the training department. Get gouges for the oral, memory items, IAC, and flows/profiles long before you show up for class. They’ll tell you not to study ahead and that everything you need to know is in FCM volume two, which is an absolute falsehood. It’s not terrible if you know what their expectations are ahead of time but they do a terrible job of communicating that.
There are a lot of unnecessarily ruined PRIA’s out there for people who probably would’ve passed at airlines with more modern training departments.
