[@ski35off34]

Why would engine 1 & 2 generator switches be "on" before actually starting the engines ? I would think generators only turned on after engines have spooled up. In the sim - even cold / dark - generator switches already "on" ? Also not sure what Standby By power switch (to left of generator switches) - actually engages ? I need to do more study time..... Great video, thank you

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

Generator switches should be on prior to start but could remain in the off position and turned on after start. Generators will not be connected to the system until a particular N2 RPM. When that RPM is reached, the generator will come online automatically. Standby power turns on the standby attitude indicator above the MFD.

[@Psychokiller1888]

@thecorporatepilotdad thank you so much for your videos. Always been in love with cessna! I'm planning a full size cockpit replica at home, but I want it to be as close as the real stuff as possible, even non msfs implemented functions. I have a lot of documentation, but I'm missing a real measure.... With the pictures I have I can deduct all of them if I had one measure only. Could you please... Please? Tell me the width of the pilot seat per exemple. That would allow me to reproduce as close as possible the entire thing... I do electronics, etch my boards, program my drivers, I do work wood and 3d print almost daily, I just want my cockpit to be the real thing...

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

I do not have access to a Longitude. Wish I could help, but I cannot.

[@Psychokiller1888]

No problem, thank you for your reply at least!

[@Maelachlainn]

500 feet extra for a rolling takeoff is pretty impressive!

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

Takeoff power has to be achieved inside of that 500' distance too. Lots of other Citations have this same characteristic.

[@KirkRoyster]

In several C700 checklists I have found, I see Fuel Shutoff Valve (CLOSED/OPEN) and Auto Ground Spoilers (NORM/ARMED). I am not finding controls for these in the sim model, can you please advise?

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

If during preflight, the checklist could be alluding to the L/R fire push button on the panel which would activate the hydraulic and fuel shutoff valves which could be open/closed but are not modeled. The only other option would be the run/stop guarded switches next to the starter buttons. Spoilers are automatic on touchdown and will retract automatically as well when speed drops on rollout. I’m working on systems videos (for Private Pilot tier) channel members and spoilers will be covered in flight controls. The fuel system will be next. The goal is to upload one system per week depending on my flying schedule.

[@SolidMGSnake]

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

You are correct. The more I fly it the better it gets. They did an amazing job with it.

Good morning from the Netherlands. Can I also ask a stupid question, is this the standard Cessna Citation and if so which mod do I have to download to have the discussed Cessna. It looks fantastic and I am definitely interested. Thank you very much for your answer. I wrote this post using Google Translate.

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

This is the standard Longitude after AAU1 for MSFS. No mods required. If your sim is up to date you should have the default Longitude that works like the one in the video.

For someone that has never flown a jet (myself), would you recommend the Longitude or the CJ4? I have 500+ hours on the Kodiak 100, but would like to advance myself to Corporate Jet.

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

Either would be good but the Longitude has autothrottles which can help alleviate workload but also increase workload as well in some situations. The FMS in the Longitude is a slightly easier in my opinion.

[@mikevadnais7722]

@@thecorporatepilotdad Thank you. I was leaning toward that, what was holding me back a bit was I only have the deluxe edition.

When I set my elevator trim in the green using my trim button on the joystick. The external view shows the trim setting around 40% which causes the aircraft to pitch up at a steep angle after take-off. Am I using the wrong trim setting or the wrong trim setting/button on the joystick?...Thanks for the help, great video!!

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

You could have too much nose up trim and still be inside the green band. If you look in the Longitude manual linked in the description of this video, there should be a chart that shows stab trim setting based on MAC.

Engine Anti-Ice On Left and Right. It means the system is turned on and is probably a white CAS message. In front of the right yoke (to the right of the gear handle) there is a section on the tilt panel labeled "ICE PROTECTION". The top two buttons are ENGINE L and R. That is Engine anti-ice left and right. Press those top two buttons so the cyan OFF is displayed, and the message will go away.

[@jacks3446]

do you know why my cruise altitude isn't showing up on my Flight Plan page next to my waypoints? its just blank and I need to add it as a altitude restriction

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

Cruise altitude shouldn’t show up on the flight plan page in the flight plan target altitude column. Altitudes that do show up are altitudes published on a chart (SID/STAR/Approach) where a specific altitude at a waypoint is published. If using VNAV, the altitude selector is always limiting. Video 2 and 3 in this series have more VNAV explanations.

[@jacks3446]

@@thecorporatepilotdad It’s because i had a discontinuity in my flight plan. Usually when I set my altitude selector to cruise it will put my enroute waypoints to that altitude which in turn gives me a T/D

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

@@jacks3446 that will do it. One thing I do IRL flying(or try to do every time), is go through the legs page and look for unnecessary discontinuities. They are needed on departures/arrivals that terminate on a heading or course to be flown. Sometimes the FMS will add a disc. between the last enroute fix before the start of an arrival which can be deleted.

[@jacks3446]

@@thecorporatepilotdad I am curious though, do i need to add my arrival/approach in order to get my TD or no? Whenever I don’t do that, I have no TD shown.

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

@@jacks3446 No, a random altitude can be added at a waypoint. Watch video #2. An altitude needs to be connected to a waypoint, a lower altitude selected, and VNAV selected on the flight guidance panel in order for VNAV to work. If a waypoint has an altitude and VNAV is armed a TOD will be visible unless the aircraft has already passed the point where that 3 degree slope intersects with your altitude.

[@basvh666]

My screens in the middle for aircraft systems look totally different. I don’t have that many options. Any idea.

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

Are you using an old mod by chance that is hidden away in your community folder?

[@ggjjabc]

I'm unclear on RAT. I thought RAT is Ram Air Turbine used for emergency. But at @4:54 it inserts temperature?

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

Ram air temperature is also RAT. This RAT is is the temperature the aircraft feels moving through the air and comes into effect at higher speeds. The Concorde skin at Mach 2 could reach 120 degrees C. This is RAT. If an aircraft is stationary RAT and static air temperature will be equal.

[@bikesandbits1000]

Thanks very much for the video. I never knew he CAS up and down as well as the full entry of the weights etc. Since the update I have an issue where by the Citation Longitude cant maintain speed whilst climbing, reduces to almost 130knts from about FL330 to FL400. Auto throttle is on and should be hitting about 300knts (Mach 0.8) according to the AT setting. Any thoughts why this might be doing it? Rate of climb is 2000 feet per min, but i need to reduce it down to about 300 feet per/min so it doesn't stall. Confirmed both engines are working.

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

My guess is you’re in VS mode and not FLC for the climb. Auto throttles will try to give all the power they have to maintain 300 knots or whatever speed is set. Once max power is reached, the airplane wont maintain speed beyond that point and if maintaining too steep of a climb, the airplane will slow down. In FLC, the aircraft will adjust pitch to maintain 300 and work with the AT system to hold whatever vertical speed needed to still maintain an indicated speed. Hopefully that is the answer to your question.

[@bikesandbits1000]

@@thecorporatepilotdad Thanks I will give that a try. Yes I have been using VS, which from what I have now read is incorrect for climbing

[@RickAnderson-sh1gf]

Help please, love your work but i have a problem that has defeated me. Have been flying the longitude for about 200 hours and take off was never a problem. set FD, Vertical speed, Nav. Alt, Auto throttle, FMS. The plane would take off and climb at assigned rate to assigned alt no problem. Now with same setting it climbs at 9000 fpm, auto throttle cant't keep up and blows thru assigned alt. What happened pls help

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

I will try to duplicate this on my sim. What airport and departure were you using? Whenever using the flight director be sure to look at the standby modes (in white) to see what the FD will do next. You’ll want to see ALT or VALTV for the airplane to level at the altitude selector or flight plan target altitude (VNAV altitude in magenta) respectively.

[@nathanpush2262]

i get a "P/S Button On" CAS message. can't figure it out?

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

Pitot/Static Button On. That means the switch was manually turned on and will stay on during ground ops. Pitot Static heat is applied automatically based on a few different factors such as power setting, weight on wheels, and more.

[@caraguia]

Is it possible to change the display of fuel and other weights in kilograms? Thanks. Nice video

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

It is and that was in the video but I took it out. I can’t remember the exact steps but go into the G5000 under settings or system (can’t remember the name without seeing it) and units can be adjusted there.

[@caraguia]

@@thecorporatepilotdad Thanks. Is possible a video using VNAV?

@@caraguia Yes. Working on a combined VNAV and auto throttle video today.

[@JacobConkin]

What is a rolling takeoff? Don't the wheels always roll when you take off? 😅 (Legitimate question tho)

[@thecorporatepilotdad]

Normal takeoff = setting takeoff power then brake release. Rolling takeoff is adding power to takeoff power as the airplane is rolling down the runway. 500’ is added to the takeoff distance for rolling takeoffs at least for Cessna jets.

Update! After watching this video last night I flew this airplane. I did not run across a problem I could not solve easily. A discontinuity between an arrival and an approach. I flew from KORF to KDCA and flew the RNP 19 approach, the discontinuity showed up between the last fix of the arrival an Fergie intersection for the approach. How can you remove the discontinuity? I solved it by going going direct to Fergie, however it should not work that way. 😁🛫 Thanks ye Master of all things aviation at KZbin university 🤣🛫
