Private Jet Cockpit View: Night Flight in Cessna Citation CJ3+

[@walterwilliams6236]

Thank you so very much for providing such beautiful and interesting videos. As a former pilot, who loved to fly I appreciate flying along with you on my Computer. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of us, who are no longer able to fly because of endless encounters with hospitals, Doctors, and old age. I look forward to your videos to lift my spirits. Thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to once again soar.

[@Schmiiindy]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I often forget that one day this will end, and am happy to share it along with you and to have to look back on myself one day. Thanks for following along!

[@mauriceevans6546]

Thank God for light sport. May the Lord bless you with good health

My instrument check pilot was 86 years old! She flew for the CIA, and was tuff as nails. My chief pilot made a funny face when he heard who I got as my check ride. I was terrified 😂. But I always loved knowing we can sometimes keep going to that age!!!!!

[@rob3910]

And to add, she made me fly 3 more approaches than our planned flight plan. I flew the first few perfectly and she wanted to make sure I wasn’t to “cocky” lol. She’s a legend in my mind!

Ever since I started watching CitationMax and your videos, I have fallen in love with the Citation Longitude and I purchased from Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Premium for that Longitude. Its close enough to the same cockpit as the CJ3. I also bought the Cirrus Vision SF50 as well. The reason why because of the MFD touchscreen and the Garmin G5000 screen that you have shown me. So much I have missed on using it I found some tutorials on how to use the Garmin G5000. Thank you both so much for uploading your flights on youtube. Its really fun to watch! I only flown once from West Palm Beach, Fl to Atlanta, Ga when I came to see my dad back in Spring Break 96' before we moved to ga in May 96. I haven't been back on flight simulator since I've played FS98. Now that I have MSFS2020? I will enjoy flying my favorite aircraft thanks to you both. 😊

[@dabassmann]

Schmiiindy and Max make it all look so buttery smooth. Y'all are both such professionals and compliment each other to the max (pun intended). Nice job!!!

[@dabassmann]

Miindy is always silky smooth on the radio, and you're both such professionals. It's a pleasure to watch you two in complete control of the aircraft. Well done!!!

[@dancanny4878]

Citation Dad must feel very comfortable in the back, having two very proficient pilots up front! You two make a great team and thanks for taking us along. The scenery in the beginning was just something else. 🙌

[@chucktx5957]

Max, you’re at max. You’ll never have a better First Officer. Great videos. Thanks to both of you.

[@spatsny45]

Max and Schmiindy,love it! Again!

[@joeshmooo5327]

so great watching you two together. Amazing chemistry.

[@citationbeechcraft8264]

Nice Edition of CRM and on top Flight. Cool Flightdeck Crew. Nice Co. Read you five by five. Always many happy landings

[@stevecastro22]

Max's mike cover says it all. true Professionals at work.....

[@timothystarks5860]

Thanks! That was a great collaboration! Not only with the piloting duties, but the video duties! I watched all of the legs. You guys should have a Discovery Channel series. I know it takes a lot of time to edit and produce these videos. I appreciate you, Max, (and Stevo1Kinevo too) for taking us along vicariously. The content, videography, and especially the professionalism you convey as pilots are awesome and fun to watch.

[@johnmartinelli4006]

I just love you both when you fly. I cannot get enough of these incredible videos, and now my entire family is hooked on these fantastic flights. Thank you! I can't wait for new postings!

[@rmi813]

Great video Schmiiindy. Your a great asset and First Officer for the Citation Max team.

[@Craig-op8qu]

Great, video,I Love to see you flying with Max He is Great,And so are you.Just wish you would show the take off and landing part's.😢❤❤❤

[@bobblack6816]

I love the professionalism of you two!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!❤

[@billfarnham1592]

I love 2RF! What a plane. Nice to see you and Max flying!

[@mrreddington777]

These videos give me life.

[@ResortVideos805]

10:42 The volcanos you were talking about in previous video Mt. Adams (left) & Mt. Rainier (right). From that area you would have seen Mt. Hood further south of Adams and Mt. St. Helens behind Adams to the west. Flying up from California it is possible to see from Mt. Shasta to Mt. Baker which are the furthest south and north of the major volcanic peaks in the continental USA.

[@rhs1331]

8:09 Max & Mindy great vid 👍🏻I know it takes time and effort Mindy. Thanks for all that you do.

[@healerf18]

Great video. I appreciate hearing the IFR clearance at the beginning. It helps 'book end' the story line and allows the instrument nerds in the audience follow along. :)

[@n8xu]

Echoing others, you two are professionals of the first order. Thanks for the excellent videos

[@phillipcole3068]

It was great to see a good example of CRM. You seemed to have a good mix of shared duties and flow of communication in the cockpit. I a new sub of you, and Shmindy!

[@phillipcole3068]

Whoops! I just realized I am seeing this on Schmindy's channel! 😳 #faceplant 😖

[@MikeB-in1nd]

So beautiful in Yakima

[@Chakirisan]

Great stuff, I’ve learned a ton watching these videos and even though I never completed my single engine, I’m sure if I ever went back it would be easier. The flying isn’t the hard part, it’s navigating radio and instruments, there’s so much to do. Thanks for sharing Mindy.

[@donnieboyette2216]

You two make a great team and great videos. Keep them coming!

[@v-tailpilot314]

My old stomping grounds. Great job!

[@danmcbride6258]

Love watching both of you fly as a Crew. Both are capable and skilled Pilots.

[@brianbaldocchi6013]

That sound of those turbines spooling up 😍😍😍

[@joeshmooo5327]

Great Team Work. Max amazing landing.

[@rabh6746]

That was such a beautiful departure from Yakima👌You guys work so well together, such a great team👍That sure was a tricky landing but Max is a true professional and handled it like textbook, awesome video Mindy👍

[@JohnS-il1dr]

And an awesome right seat to help stick the tricky landing!

[@fhpv2667]

oh yeah my girl max favorite thanks for the video

[@keithcarlson5344]

Loving these videos and cross channel content. Question - do you all have passengers on these trips? Just thinking of cost of trips. Thanks for great and educational videos!

[@gerardvandervoort]

Thanks for sharing Schmiiindy!

[@dspur3994]

Great video as always! Had to turn my volume up to be able to hear Mindy.

[@Schmiiindy]

My volume does come through so soft, I wonder if it’s how we had our radio settings 😅 thank you!

[@flyboyrog3713]

Your CRM is incredible...so much fun to watch

[@slp1111]

Nice video Mindy great to see more airports.in west coast

[@richmiller2501]

Thank you, You got a new Friend !

[@anthonygallegos3891]

Welcome to my home State and to northern NM, Santa Fe. Can't wait to hear your thoughts of your short stay. Great tourist town. A long time subscriber. Anthony

[@stevolene]

Mindy is the bombay, both you guys make such a great team, heck I may even buy a tee shirt

[@luizrenato8423]

8:15 takeoff

[@RADThird1]

Loving these videos!

[@piplup10203854]

This makes me want to learn how to fly so badly! I would love to learn so I can show my niece something so cool and maybe she will fall in love with it too. I've always dreamed about learning but never took the first steps for it but I am sure tempted to learn!

[@actionzacked]

Just what I needed today :)

[@bobrewer202]

Love your videos and everything you and Max do. But I have a quart ion: When and why did you start pronouncing words without the T? You never did it before, I have gone back to older videos to see if I was wrong. You definitely did not pronounce this way before. Examples: “Mountain” is now pronounced “Mou’ehn”. “Button” is now “Bu’ehn”. What am I missing?

[@jordonmunson8212]

How was Yakima? My childhood home town.

[@markpalmer5311]

Mindy!! Nice video, great to see you in the jet. Had a Pappy 23 after the Chiefs won!

[@Schmiiindy]

JEALOUS! A proper celebration drink for sure… Thanks Mark

[@jamesbynum9110]

I want to do jet things. Ill settle for Cherokee 180 things though.

[@kurtbrackebush1313]

H Just wanted to add you guys should come back to Washington state and visit western WA stay two days and rent a plane you'll love it and Bring Kevin land at BFI

[@vaughnbluejr5960]

That looks like an Embraer twin-prop (feeder freight airline) on the tarmac at Yakima. Two of them leave GEG every morning. I think they fly for UPS.

[@ResortVideos805]

Correct... AmeriFlight is the UPS contractor. Also during taxi you see the Empire/FedEx ATR.

[@petertarantelli]

FL410 5 minutes after…that’s some serious climb rate! Great CRM on the takeoff roll…that’s what you get with 2 professional pilots on the flight deck.

[@Gilles45]

They get clearance to climb to FL410 10 minutes after, they are NOT at FL410 10 minutes after, not the same thing...

[@petertarantelli]

@@Gilles45 if you listen, the controller says “expect FL410 5 minutes after departure”

[@shreddder999]

Ah, Santa Fe. Heading there for some arts and crafts?

[@jhogoboom]

Fantastic video!! Is that kind of approach totally normal to you or is there an extra "pucker" factor landing at night, in windy conditions, with bad weather?

[@BeechSportBill]

Such a clean machine… every surface so shiny! NO WEAR on the emergency switches, either…

[@paulg2132]

You two work so well together. Can we expect a career change for you to have a permanent seat in the CJ3+?

[@Schmiiindy]

Thank you! Haha probably not. I love working in aircraft sales but hope to fly more contract work on the side 😁

[@joeshmooo5327]

@@Schmiiindy You two are so good together. Amazing teamwork

[@rabidbigdog]

I showed this to my niece who desperately wants to be a pilot. She has absolutely every available component to fly a Cessna 182 in Flight Simulator currently at age 10. Now she wants to fly Citation. What are you doing Mindy! Can't she have a cheap hobby like BMX or Motorcross! Hahaha.

[@rabidbigdog]

Or horse-riding. Apparently that isn't cheap though.

[@Schmiiindy]

Hahaha that is awesome. Make sure she applies for scholarships 😂

[@wannafly34]

Nicely done y’all…

[@douglas7555]

So , are you and Max sharing videos?? And are you to working together now?

[@ResortVideos805]

You taxied/t.o. behind Kermit 🐸

[@2ndAmendment-Jeffrey]

Boy that runway was tough to see.

[@seaweedfps8585]

I find it crazy that citations can get rid of their flaps that quickly after departure 🤯

[@hessranch]

Is this part of the job change? Are you learning to fly jets? Beautiful video as always

[@Schmiiindy]

I fly contract on the side when I can. I got my type rating about 2 years ago 😊

[@hessranch]

@@Schmiiindy What fun. Been following you for awhile. Especially in your previous job. My dad flew B 29s in the Korean War. My stepdad flew corporate and for FedEx and owned a v-tail Bonanza. We were coming back from Dallas one day in a Lear 25D. Got to sit in the co-pilot seat for a bit.All of a sudden I was looking straight up at him. We did what he called a aileron roll. Wow, best ride ever!!!!!

[@Boodieman72]

Great video. Do you have a preference between high wing and low wing aircraft?

[@Schmiiindy]

Thank you! Honestly not really. I think low wings have smoother landings but high wings are great shade and visibility. Pros to each I suppose!

[@Boodieman72]

@@Schmiiindy It seems there are very few high wing aircraft in comparison to low wing aircraft yet most flight schools use high wing aircraft. Not being a pilot I just wondered why it's this way.

[@Schmiiindy]

A lot of private pilot training is ground based navigation & maneuvers (seeing things on the ground to use as landmarks). Can be done in low wings but that shields a lot of visibility. Much easier to do those in a high wing! 😅

[@Boodieman72]

@@Schmiiindy I was wondering if Cessna gave discounts to flight schools as most of them seem to use Cessna aircraft and Cessna ground school programs. Maybe there just weren't may other high wing options at that time, for new aircraft.

[@sebinamuwanga]

Not the best lit runway but nice landing!

[@Resort_Fans]

Was it my imagination or was Sante Fe airport not very well lit?

[@Schmiiindy]

Not well lit and also runway is also offset from the RNAV. The RNAV brings you in at an angle

[@jrlee2x]

How does it feel when you go back to a prop after this lol?

[@Schmiiindy]

Haha so different! Such different types of flying, it’s so hard to even begin to compare 😅

[@rogergrove9824]

what is a yaw damper?

[@Schmiiindy]

It controls the rudder automatically 😊

[@chrispbacon550]

I’d see a DME departure or arrival and be like ‘nope there’s gotta be an airport near by that we can land at.’ DME are my nemesis. Probably easier with the G1000 but with a 6 pack, NOPE! Love seeing you and Max flying together!

[@stephpaynes]

Hope this does not reveal my ignorance too much, but are you both licensed jet pilots. My sentiments are with Walter below me
