If you already know what airplane, that would narrow it down a bit.

Otherwise read the Turbine Pilot's Flight Manual if you don't have previous turbine experience.

Also, if you have no FMS experience, it wouldn't hurt to get on MS Flight Sim and play with an FMS equiped airplane...just put it on autopilot and try to get the basics of the FMS programming and navigation down. Also there are FMS training software packages that run on a PC that are available for various FMS models. Most students buy or "acquire" a copy for the FMS they will be using.
