For the gentlemen currently flying the EMB at Eagle, is this powerpoint (

Also, if you have that awesome file made available years ago from FS-STL for the 145, I would be extremely thankful to see what it looks like. PM if you want to help me out.
-You should have no issue getting an EMB, just depends on if you are picky about the base you get.
-Haven't hit the oral yet so can't tell you 100% accurately but as far as I know they start with limitations then it runs pretty much like a day on the line. When you first get into the cockpit what documents are you looking for then they go through the preflight pages and startup with systems questions on the way.
-The limitations are very similar between the 135/140/145 difference is mainly weights. All limitations must be memorized except the ones on the green card i.e. the 16 different weights.
