The Cessna Citation M2 Six Leg Single Pilot Trip

The Cessna Citation M2 gets a workout today. Six legs of flying and I fly into the Manhattan Kansas and Hays Kansas airports. Lots of ATC communications during the takeoff and landings. My videos show what it's like flying as a corporate pilot in a private jet. In this video every leg is flown single pilot.

Flew right over my house. A10 unit was my final unit in the Air Force. Graduated KSU. Typed in the C525. Great video. Lots of 360s.

Great video Capt. As always, thanks for sharing.

[@captmoonbeam]

You're welcome.

[@Sm_heer83]

I love it when ATC gives u taxi instructions as your still doing your roll out and it's always a complicated taxi too.....😒

[@captmoonbeam]

It's always fun.

[@CitationMax]

Really enjoyed the video! Looking forward to more soon.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks. Was going to start one today but, I've gotta go get the M2 in Tampa.

Glad to see the M2! I like the single pilot videos you do! Thanks!

Thanks Harold.

I used to play football for Kansas State in 2012 and now I’m a CFI! Flew out of that airport on 767’s many times for games! Was always a blast with how powerful the takeoff was.

[@blewyd]

The atc in Manhattan was very nice. He kept saying sorry about that 360. We need controllers like him.

[@captmoonbeam]

He was great and he really had no choice. He wasn't talking to the aircraft, I couldn't see him and he was below me. Always better safe than sorry.

[@tylerw1418]

Just purchased the Carenado Citation on x plane 11 and these videos are my go to while I’m simming. Lol I fly helicopters in real life but always had a love for the citation. So sim is my playground. 👍🏻

Another excellent video, calm, slow and without stress. I like it a lot, because apart from letting us know the flights, we participate in your thoughts as a person. This shows confidence towards those of us who watch your videos. Yur videos apart from didactic, are human and that is appreciated sir. Happy landings without crosswind.-

[@jsmith1746]

Ahh Hays, Kansas. Never made it out there, but I was in training with Mesa Airlines/Air Midwest on 9/11 and had been awarded Hays, KS (as a BE-1900 first officer) as my base. By the time Mesa got around to recalling me after the furloughs, they again were offering the Hays, KS base. I did not take the recall as I had been awarded a captain upgrade on the BE-1900 with an Albany, NY base with another airline.

[@sarasotarepub1]

Busy day there! Thanks for taking us along. It always blows my mind how FLAT the Midwest is - 180° opposite of the Northeast here. Loved the shots of those Warthogs coming in! 👍👍

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks. In some places it's flat as a table top with nothing to break the wind.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@captmoonbeam - I'll never forget the first time I drove across the TX panhandle on I-40 about 20 years ago - I had never seen a horizon so big in my life. Sun seemed to set later, and rise earlier. I was amazed! BIG sky!

Harald Lorentzen I enjoy watching them fly and land in Florida. Makes a day at the beach that much better!!

[@MerlinspopTBH]

Loved seeing you playing nice with the Cherokee and doing the 360 to fit in. So much better than barging straight in and making everyone in the pattern scatter. Says a lot about you, sir!

[@captmoonbeam]

I could have slowed down but, not enough to keep from catching up to him.

[@MerlinspopTBH]

captmoonbeam - exactly my point! Instead of forcing him to accommodate you so you could do a straight in, you maneuvered so that you fit smoothly into the pattern. Kudos!

[@timpropilot]

Great video.

Thanks Tim.

[@SRiggle56]

Papa ER Jeep’s....I guess a backup is good. Nice seeing Kansas from the air again...been a lot of years. Great video.

Great camera positions, Capt.. Really enjoyed the forward looking camera.

[@msnpassjan2004]

Fantastic edit as always with an awesome smorgasbord of fun facts in the intro. Windshield : de-iced by hot bleed air from the engines with up to 10 minutes of alcohol spray as a backup. BUT, the alcohol MUST be applied BEFORE entering icing conditions because the alcohol will not remove ice once it's on the windshield. Landing lights @0:42 look a lot more stylish than I expected. Co-Pilots pitot tube, just a quick glance @0:45 Angle of Attack, the mini wing @0:46? Feel like I should know this by now. LED Ice Inspection Light. The last time you showed us that it was a regular bulb on the pilots side. Nice to see the upgrade. Noise Reduction cookie cutter @0:58 Never heard of that one at all. I'm always impressed by your fun facts Jim. Thanks for sharing your landings. I really enjoyed the angle you caught on the last landing @20:19 showing both outside the cockpit and the Garmin synthetic vision (I think that's what it is called). Very cool but I'm not sure I would want to be my life on it. Hope you have a great day Jim !

[@captmoonbeam]

thanks. I have a tendency to get tongue tied when I talk about that stuff. When I go back and look at the clips I cringe a little. for example, the hydraulic pressure for the brakes is trapped in the break line not the pedals. I addition every light on the M2 is LED. I love that.

My instructor/cousin who flew a Citation for an Iron company and would let my fly in right seat when his normal copilot could not go. This flight reminds me of a Sunday trip where we made several stops picking up executives for a Monday meeting.
