Is there a significant advantage to installing the Flightline headliner before doing the final install on the cabin cover? How much inside prep is needed and how about prep of the parts that remain exposed like the door frame, etc.?

I can't speak specifically to the flightline headliner, since I have an Aerosport Products headliner. But I'm sure the issues are similar.
You want to prep as much as you can with the cabin cover off the aircraft. It's a hundred times easier.
Most folks prefer to sand smooth and fill any voids, depressions, and pin holes. This is clearly easier with the cover upside down on the bench. The door frame may need additional work depending on what type of doors seals you choose to use.
There are at least three variations of cabin covers. One green and two pink. The two pink ones have slightly different dimensions from the the step down that separates the front and back. This may cause some additional tweaking of the headliner depending on which cover you received.

I used the full Flightline headliner - no overhead console. I glued it in while it was upside down on my work table. I think it was much easier that way. I left extra fabric at the windows, ends, etc., so I could trim it later. When you work on the trim later, you will be glad you didn't have to do it "Michelangelo style".

John: How did you finish the depressions around the hinge bolts?

I just covered it with the fabric as if the depression wasn't there. It stays in place with a touch of rubber cement and the McMaster Carr edging. No air leaks because of the edging.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Do you mind telling me which edging you used? Thanks, Bob

I can't find the exact part number, but it's the same stuff everyone else is using from McMaster Carr.

Are you rerferring to the weather stripping around the door?

It is the 'weatherstripping' but do take some care with the ordering.
The McMaster Carr part I used was 1120A411 - bulb opposite grabber (very
important, especially if using a headliner), 1/4" edge. I also played
around with the 3/8" edge.
If you go this route, decide what edge width you want, make it that
width, and order the weatherstripping size you want.
There's plenty of info in the archives.
