I would not freak out if you screw up the first time through -- many people in my class did. However, by the end of systems you need to know every limitation and be able to recite every QRC checklist from memory or you're going to raise red flags during sims.

Do they give out the memory items and limitations before day 1? If you're a brand new FO without turbine time, some of them won't make sense until you get to systems. Hell, a few them make no sense if you've been flying the airplane for a while.

Yes, they are given out during onboarding, alone with flows, callouts, oral guide, and cockpit posters.

They arent going to bounce you out of the class if you "fail" the first memory item test. It's more to see that you are trying. They have held people back for not passing the later one. If on your oral you don't know those and limitations stone cold you run the risk of failure.

Will the bounce you if you fail? I doubt it. Will it trigger "Increased Scrutiny" or be in you training file? I'd be interested to know honestly.
It's also a pretty small amount of rote information, so it doesn't take much time or mental bandwidth to get down.

I know to some people studying the limitations is difficult because it's hard to see the relevance in some of the minutiae, but trust me -- once you are in systems it will all become clear why you need to know that stuff, so just do yourself a favor and study everything before you arrive and you'll be that much less stressed.
