There's a difference in learning what you need to know, and mastering the FMS. At CAE we didn't spend much time in the sim on the FMS... did the usual initialization, and normal usage... but that's it. And that will get you by. But you'd be really amazed at what the Collins 4200 can do once you really sit down with a CBT and spend a few days playing with it. It's really an amazing unit.
