Thanks for your reply, as well as the debate on my actual intentions.
"Get
with my instructor" was implying that I will be getting the proper
training
in this aircraft from a qualified CFI. I simply wanted to increase my
knowledge prior to that instruction.

No problem, and I assumed you would be doing that. The reason I didn't
handle your post with the information you asked for is because there is
a difference between generics and specifics; and for what you will be
doing, specifics are called for. The checkout in a new complex is
aircraft specific and should be treated as such. Since you didn't state
what specific aircraft you were dealing with, I would refrain from
offering advice other than pointing you to the checkout procedure.
It's my practice that whenever a question like yours comes up without
stating what airplane the question is dealing with, I opt to steer the
poster to the checkout procedure rather than get into the specifics
requested. It's a safety issue with me......a personal preference so to
speak.
Best of luck with your checkout. I'm sure you'll do fine.
