Citation II SIC Training || Flying a jet for the first time!

Join me for my Citation II SIC type rating training recently in a 1990 Citation II at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport in Denver (KBJC). The SIC training involves a couple of hours of ground work, 3 full stop landings from the pattern, and a simulated engine failure. In the left seat is Captain Jack, a retired Continental captain who works for our organization as well. Enjoy!

[@OLIFFSHIFON]

Nice job!

[@NoelJacobs]

Very cool.

[@samhenderson1781]

Awesome videos, very cool to see you doing the pattern in a Citation. Ive been doing my training at Western Air at KBJC. Would be very cool to fly with you some day. Ive been putting together footage of all my lessons, I just need to get it edited and post it up on youtube but your channel is inspiration to get on it.

[@ColinPrenger]

Thanks! Glad to be some inspiration for you

@@ColinPrenger I hope someday to fly a jet like that. I am a student pilot who is returning to flying after several years away due to a bad instructor experience. I wish I had KZbin back then I may have been inspired I am 47 and know that I have a long road ahead, but I am working on it everyday and no longer letting anyone tell me I can not do something. Love this video it gives me hope.

[@ColinPrenger]

@@kevinstone9638 Well I definitely won't be saying that. I've had many pilots come through my "door" who haven't flown in as much as 25 years and round gauges and I got them to where they wanted to be in flying and in full glass panels. Any questions whatsoever, shoot me a message [e-mail] Blue skies and tailwinds, Kevin!

[@austinlewis743]

Stoked for you! Glad to see you flying the jet. Let me know if you are ever in Hawaii and wanna fly!

[@kevinhall5645]

Great job!

[@carlmclelland7624]

Ahhhh, an old, "Steam gauge Citation." Nice job... remember, you can't log 100 hours in it until you've logged 10 hours in it... ten times. 'former CJ2+ driver'

[@zoozolplexOne]

cool !!!

[@andrewletaev2097]

Thank you for great video. What is the departure airport ? Do you need to set Fuel Boost Pump on for engine starting ? As I noticed, fuel flow was set on at 19 percent N2, correct ?

[@coastlineaviation6149]

Awesome stuff. What is your organization if I may ask? I am working on my CPL multi now, looking for opportunities like this

[@ColinPrenger]

Coastline Aviation Independence Aviation. We are a platinum cirrus center mainly but we also manage several other types of aircraft

[@Skylane_Pilot]

Do you have any documents from your ground school before the flight? I should be starting SIC training in the C550 this month.

[@ColinPrenger]

Sorry I don't. I haven't flown that plane in over a year now. Have fun!

[@martgatz75]

If you owned this plane could you fly it by yourself with no co-pilot?

[@bobbertonsmivelton7354]

Yes, Cessna Citations only require a minimum of one pilot, and learjets have a minimum of two. But you'll need to get your license before though.

[@ryanbaillie8275]

Depends on the model and equipment.

[@stevenseidman7751]

Hey Colin How are you and your father doing?

[@ColinPrenger]

Hey Dr. Seidman, we are both doing well! My dad is still working in and out of the hospital as necessary. I’m flying the CJ2+ for JetLinx still and we are busier than ever! How’s your flying?

[@stevenseidman7751]

@@ColinPrenger great! Still flying the Mustang and CJ3+. not as much as I would like but still fairly busy. My day job keeps getting in the way! If you ever overnight in Detroit let me know and we can grab a meal. Say hi to your Dad

[@Matt.Jernigan]

How much harder is it to fly the jet vs the cirrus?

[@ColinPrenger]

At first it’s a challenge because everything moves faster, checklists and your mind, but it’s in many ways easier to fly than a piston.

[@Gyouska900]

how much did this training for type rating cost roughly?

[@ColinPrenger]

This was SIC only and did the required items and went to the FSDO for the sign off instead of formal training. Probably cost the owner $2000 all in.

[@71pierluigi]

How much this training thanks

[@ColinPrenger]

This was internal training, and the owner paid for the costs of the aircraft and us. Usually an SIC type at a place like Flight Safety is around $8,000 depending on aircraft type.

[@71pierluigi]

@@ColinPrenger many thanks Colin

[@ronangel1704]

How much an hour?

Dog poop but your flying a jet
