I was hired at UPS as a DC8 FE. Up to that point, I had never even touched and engineer panel. Training was very straight forward. Preflights, engine starts, callouts, checklists, and emergencies. That's about it. But, 2 hours in a sim doing nothing but checklists is pretty tiring.

As for my PC, it was limitations, memory items, preflight slides, and systems questions via going over the panel and all the lights, switches, and gauges. The sim portion consisted of preflights(safety, cockpit, and panel) and trying to find the "easter eggs", then engines starts, 3 or 4 abnormals, and engine shutdown, fuel transfer, and landing. We were done in about 1:20. Just study like you do the front seat stuff, and you'll do fine. Looking back, it wasn't any different in preparing for FE training than it is getting ready to train in a front seat of a new airplane.

Congrats and good luck to you!
