Wait for class. The Saab systems are not easy, you will want an instructor there who knows them to help you through them. Word is Vic Alexander is coming back for Saab systems, this guy is the man when it comes to knowing everything about the Saab.

Just relax and get ready for the fun ride of 121 ground school.

Learning outside numbers and limitations is not only a waste of time but will drill those numbers into your head.

I've heard that from a number of people as well. i'm sure we all know primacy can be a real pain when the wrong information is learned first. I thought about doing the same thing - as I had been given probably the same site to look over stuff - but was advised from a former colgan pilot not to study anything unless the company tells you to....so that's just what I'm going to do

Hey new guys...if you have an Iphone I use an app called flashqard (check out Flash Q/Ard Home Page) when I'm getting ready for a PC check. Since you guys are going to be up to your eyeballs in flash cards, this is a great hi-tech flash card app. I uploaded a set of cards with our current limitations and systems stuff. It's not 100% complete but a good start. The app is only $.99 last time I checked. This might give you a head start.
