In my day, we never saw the POH, it had long been pilfered. We were just pointed at the aircraft, did a couple of circuits, told to be gentle with the aircraft, treat it with utmost respect and that was it. And against all odds, no one died and in the two years I was tooling around the north, all engines all made their TBO.
My advice to the OP… don’t overthink it. Just treat the aeroplane gently and with respect. This rule applies to every type he/she will ever fly.
