Do other planes take so long to familiarize with?

Thanks in advance for your insight
Comet,

Most of the reason it takes so long is the avionics, assuming you already know how to fly. The avionics have many layers of functionality.

The factory will provide training, but I would recommend getting your private before buying one as the training time will be much shorter.
