Researching the cockpit prior to screening isn't necessary. The only things you will need to know is how to use elevator and rudder trim, use of park brake and the joystick. Flight instruments such as vsi, altimeter, asi and the turn and bank co ordinator are really the only instruments used. Their functions are vastly more important than their location around the cockpit. I suggest focussing on basic aeronautical knowledge instead.
