You will learn enough of the systems through the use of the CBT to make it through training. what you want to do is get your hands on the flows, checklists, memory items and limitations. Make yourself up a pretend cockpit by enlarging pictures of the various panels (they are all over the internet and also on the site listed above) and sit in front of it everyday practicing your flows and call outs. This is the best thing you can do to prepare. When someone asks you what to do if you get an aileron system jam (for example) you want to be able to locate the correct switches and do the procedure from memory without trying.
If you are studying systems and you don't have all the limitations memorised you are wasting your time. (this is the exact same advice I would give my students when I taught at PSA).

That is good stuff. Thank you for the advice. PSA sent the required memory items a month ago and I know them all very well. I will give this a try now. Thanks again!

Does it matter? A gal can change her mind anytime she feels like. Maybe PSA is closer to home or she's collecting regional jet info. . .

I wouldn't mind a copy myself, not to be used for navigational purposes of course.

If she wants to give a reason, she will. Of course, we could start rumors. I hear the PSA upgrade is quicker. . .
