Thank you! As you know, days like that are pretty special.

Haha!! 😆

Will do! I’ll be on that once it’s released. 👍🏼

That’s awesome! Keep after it because it’s definitely worth it!

Yes! Come fly it! 👍🏼

Thank you so much! I’m so glad that you found the channel. And I definitely appreciate your love of the Citation X. I hope my love for it came through in the video. Lots more to come. It’s just hard to find time to do all of the editing. Again, thanks for checking out the channel!

I don’t have instructions sadly. It has been a progressive work in progress. Really like where it’s at right now but we have disassembled it and reassembled it multiple times as we do upgrades. Glad you enjoyed it!

That’s cool! Are you currently on the X? If so, where are you based?

@@johnkluenker Yes, I am PIC on X based at HWD. I also teach at TCY and LVK, and come over frequently to SCK for training/approaches. Are you on linked-In?

That’s awesome! I never actually built my LinkedIn profile but feel free to friend request me on Facebook. Are you on 224CX? I have done a little contract flying for them in the past.

Thank you!

Yes. It’s listed as a rental on VRBO.

Glad to hear that you appreciate the X!! It really depends on how it’s being used. Ours has been very reliable and I have been flying this one serial number now for 19 years. It does well in a small flight department like ours where the same pilots are flying it. We will sometimes go five years or so, without a single unscheduled maintenance visit. The X’s have a lot of quirks and nuisance messages that aren’t necessarily worth grounding the airplane for. You just have to get to know the jet and work with its quirks.

Hi Sean. Apologies for the late reply! So let’s say that you are 100 miles north of LIN when you receive that clearance. You would tap the LI N Way point on the flight plan page which would move it into the scratch pad. And then put two slashes followed by 30. Then select the LIN waypoint again on the flight plan page and that will push LIN down on the flight plan and insert your way point prior to it. If you inserted the waypoint right after LIN that would place it 30 miles beyond it. By leaving the bearing Blank it assumes that you want the new fix to be along your route. And once it’s in the flight plan, I add the crossing altitude then. You can however, do it as one fix I believe, but I don’t usually do it that way just to make sure I insert it properly. It would look like this in the scratch pad: LIN//30.

That’s awesome. Thank you for the comment! Glad the video could be helpful for you. How is initial going?

@@johnkluenkerthanks for asking! School is going very smoothly . I grow to like it more each day. To this day my favorite system is hydraulics. And the most difficult limitations to memorize is the list for the PAC HIGH. Ha!

@jonathantack Haha I’m with you 100% on that!

Thank you! I feel that the controls have great balance and harmony to them.

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching! I hope you get the chance to fly the X someday. 👍🏼

You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video. We definitely are having a great time with our jobs and I’ve had this one gig for now for 18 years!

Thank you, KK! I had a great time flying that trip with you as well. Hopefully we can do it again sometime soon. Still based in Colorado? Hopefully we can do another Florida trip this winter! 🥶 ➡️☀️🏝️

Thank you so much! I’m glad that you appreciated the video. Do you use a PC flight simulator like X-Plane or MSFS, by chance?

Awesome! Another one of the lucky ones. Where are you based? Part 91 or 135? 🛩️ ❤️

@ We are part 91 out of Little Rock, Arkansas. Serial number 57

Thanks, George! With your experience, you would have no issues flying the X. Hope are having a merry Christmas and are enjoying the Netflix fireplace! 🎄

You’re welcome! I’m glad that you appreciated it.

Absolutely!! Nice to see another Citation X fan here! 👏🏻 👏🏻

Thank you! Yes, it’s going to be awesome. I hope they will continue to work on it and update it after the fact. I’m sure they will as they always make a fantastically detailed product.

Thank you! Yes that works too as the speed brakes are effective. If left high the combination of speed brakes, flaps, and gear will get you down quickly! I should’ve been more clear about not being timid about using the speed brakes to get down! 🛩️ 💨

Thanks! GoPro 11 Black

We have approval to use it now for oceanic crossings. The challenge is getting the oceanic controllers on HF to understand what we are saying. We filed it as a call sign and also make a note of it in the comments section.

We were able to use it for a while with approval but not anymore. Back to good old N1BS!

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Wow thanks for the awesome comment. Sorry for just now seeing it. I too have always loved the B757 but never had the opportunity to fly it. Everyone I know that has flown the 757 seems to feel the same way that you do. So glad that you appreciated the video and I’m honored that you validated some of my tips. It means a lot coming from someone with your experience. Congratulations on such an amazing aviation career!

Will do! Thanks for the comment. FlightFX is working really hard to make a great virtual Citation X and I’m looking forward to it!

Thank you so much! Glad to hear that you appreciated the video! 👍🏼

Absolutely!!

I used simbreif C750 profile ,I always try to get match M number as the flight log ,or if temperaure is no the same ,TAS. It works perfect fuel wise and timing.

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it.

That’s awesome! I hope the video helps. Are you going to FlightSafety or CAE? And congratulations on the X job! You will love the airplane!

@ Thanks! I’m excited to get my hands on it. I’ve watched most of your videos and they’ve all been helpful, thanks for putting out some quality content on this great machine. I’m going to flightsafety.

Thank you!

Well, I’m glad you found the channel! A 604 is a great option. Usually people sell the Citation X and end up going with a challenger for that exact reason. So glad to hear that you enjoyed the video. Enjoy your flying!

I have one additional question if you don’t mind… a bit concerned with the Proline 4 being an obsolete flight system… in your opinion will this be an issue supporting over say a five year ownership window? Should we only consider an aircraft that has been already upgraded to the Proline Fusion? What’s your take for your aircraft? Curious as it’s an expensive move to install a Fusion system! Thanks in advance.

Sorry for the late response. I don’t get notifications of responses to responses so I occasionally miss them. I’m not very familiar with the Proline 4 versus Fusion. However, there seems to be no major issues with the Honeywell system in the X. At this point, it has been upgraded adequately to be a very stable avionics platform that doesn’t require much support. The main issues we have are issues with the Elite upgrade and getting the Jeppesen charts to load to the screens. Of course, we also have these on our iPads so it’s not a huge deal.

@ thanks for the response!! Happy flying!

Thank you so much! Don’t mind the questions at all. I find that the higher flight levels are indeed smoother. We are typically above the weather, especially if we are up at 45,000 or 47,000 feet. Glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you enjoy the FlightFX 750 when it comes out!

Ha ha! Thanks so much for the invite! That would be awesome. I appreciate you checking out the video. I’m glad you enjoyed it!

That’s so awesome! You did a great job marshaling us in, BTW. Looking forward to the next time! Thanks for watching! 🛩️ ❤️

Nice!!

Thank you so much for the comment! Still working on some more videos so please stay tuned. So glad that you enjoyed it and thanks again!

Ha ha! Stay tuned for some more tips and tricks! Working on a video right now.

Thank you!!

You’re welcome! Glad that you enjoyed it. 🙂
