Challenger 300 Tips

[His dudeness]

Hi Guys,
will be off soon to DFW to do a Challenger 300 rating. Seeking advise on A/C, training, facilities, Hotels etc.
Was told, training is pretty hard - true ? (just 15days ain´t long for such an airplane?)
Never used a Collins FMS (just Universal and Global) any tricks/tips/etc?

Thanks
The dude

Dude,

CL300 some tips:

1) Don't go......

2) Buy a parachute

3) Just say NO !:sad:

Don't get you knickers in a knot. The AC is fairly simple (DC only) with mechanical ailerons. The course is quite interesting and I would stay in Grapevine at one of the Hilton properties. As for the FMS; no big deal. Keep it simple at first and time will take care of the rest. Best advice is to keep your feet in play during any SE overshoots. Can be a handfull of fun.
:ok:

Red Mud has it about right, Collins system is not up to the honeywell epic or derivatives, but is quite adequate, and do keep those feet active, this is a very Rudder driven aircraft, rudder trim is required all the time, although that sim at DFW is a little worse than the aircraft in reality.
