I don´t know what exactly the term means - but I think study level means that it is necessary to read the handbook, it is necessary to watch YouTube videos and write notes and learn how to handle the systems. Being impressed by many many detailed gauges that need to be monitored closely otherwise an engine failure awaits, and fine little details everywhere and a 500 page PDF handbook.

Not study-level means for me turning the ignition-key clockwise and that Cessna (or any other GA) is ready to go.

I take it you’ve never seen what A2A, SimCoders or Airfoillabs aircraft are capable of. I have GA aircraft from all of them and they’re just as good (if not better) than some of the meta study-level commercial aircraft. It wouldn’t surprise me if many who only fly study-level commercial aircraft hop in a GA study-level aircraft and have issues with it. Flooding engines, fouling plugs, damaging avionics, ect, ect. I’m sure many would do it. You need to learn how to do things properly, this isn’t just applicable to commercial study-level aircraft.
