This is the home base you can always return to by clicking on the link called "Back to Content" at the end of every section within this series of documents. And from here you can easily jump to the topic you are interested in.
To begin with I advise you read everything, starting with the (rather interesting) history of this aircraft and particularly "4. Description of Panel and Systems" as well as "5. Checklists & useful Hints". I guarantee you to run into trouble if you fail to read these sections as they contain important information, lack of which will cause you grief and frustration.
I would be very grateful for any feedback if you particularly enjoy this aircraft and documentation or if you run into trouble which cannot be solved by using the checklists (using the "Kneeboard" simicon in the upper left corner of the main panel or by directly selecting the appropriate list in the "Aircraft Settings" menu) provided with this plane. Please ALWAYS first check these lists as well the documentation you are reading right now BEFORE you write frustrated emails. I didn't sit working on these documents for 3 months for nothing... Feel free to enjoy it!
