170/175 FMS for Dummies
Are there one? 'Cause I is one! 
I started watching this, but dang if doesn't double as a cure for insomniacs!
zzzzzzzzzz
Holy God. It's as clear as mud.
I feel good just knowing that yellow lettering means caution and red means emergency.

To sum up...if the JKW isn't showing the HTP, you should ensure that the WWD is not switched to the MGL or the BBX, or else the QYD will reset and the PLT will be in default while the JKW will show RDF instead of the desired HTP.

And even in the real airplane, in your first 100-200 hours you'll still be learning what all that thing is thinking and doing and what crazy stuff is buried inside it.
For instance, here's a little gem no one teaches in class (and a lot of EJet pilots don't know/ever encounter): that little sucker will start flying you inbound in a hold if it hits your EFC, with zero pilot input. So many crazy little gotchas in that box!

I agree. Not trying to teach myself anything, just become acquainted before class.
It's definitely doesn't come across as particularly intuitive, like an iPhone.
Hang on there, Doc. You should know that I personally put the "ack" in "hack". No one plays golf with more balls than me. No. One.

It will with time. As soon as an instructor explains the logic behind the box and you have a little bit of time to play with it everything makes perfect sense. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it!

FF, you sound just like my Sex Ed teacher back in the day. She was right, too.

You wouldn't sling gear for SKW by any chance, would you?
