I loved switching between the forward facing cockpit shots and the views out over the wing, really gives you the sense of how fast the plane is really going!
Yesss I love this! The Longitude is one of my favorite birds; I fly it regularly in my home simulator setup and am always on the hunt for real world cockpit videos of this awesome plane.
Get ready. WT should have their longitude out in MSFS by the end of the year. And it will only get better throughout next year. Super excited to finally have a working high fidelity longitude.
love these videos please keep them coming. Im currently in my first flying job as a diver driver and I love to watch your videos in my free time. Thank you for sharing your adventures in such a beautiful aircraft.
Nice video! I’m a real CJ3 Captain and i’m a Flight Simulator addicted, so good to see the real bird flying, i’m used to fly the Longitude on MS flight simulator, i build some throttle levers with AT/TOGA buttons and realy enjoy it. Today, for coincidence the N715VM (G550) is in my home town. Safe flights Captain!🙌🏻🙏🏻
Someday when I am uber wealthy I am going to secure you as my private pilot with a plane that can fly from Kona to SLC to ski Alta … my old beloved 70’s mountain. Mt Superior was my church and skiing the Baldy Shuts back then was a huge adventure! Warmest Alohas to you!
Absolutely stunning approach! I was wondering if you had ever flown into KEWK? Thats where i do my training out of and i know that you did some work just a little bit south of there in Wichita. Just curious about that but keep up the sweet videos!
Looking to buy an upgrade pack for MSFS to get this Logitude. I subbedto check out the avionics. Could you please do some videos detailing cold and dark?
It's the autopilot barometric altitude setting. You can set an altitude and let the autopilot climb/descend to it (by pressing the VS button and dialing in a vertical speed). When the set altitude is reached the autopilot will hold it (the VS light will switch to the ALT light). When you disable autopilot and you cross the set height it will flash yellow. This is Garmin glass cockpit functionality and not exclusive to this plane (for example, the Daher TBM 930 has identical functionality). PS: I'm not a pilot, I fly this plane in MSFS 2020 ;-)
What would be an ideal VS at touchdown in a Longitude, say on a good weather, 5kt headwind, runway is long enough? Is 200 or 250 fpm considered a hard landing? Also, could you do a walkaround video on your next flight? Would be awesome! Thanks.
Great idea for the walk around of the airplane! As far as touchdown, I honestly don't pay attention to the actual fpm number. I know the test pilots measure in fps for landings when they do testing, but I'm not sure what they qualify a "hard" landing or not.
Hi I watched your video "A day in the life of a corporate pilot! Citation Longitude | Vegas - Heber City". I loved your video (I am now a subscriber) and also Love the Citation Longitude. It is my favorite plane in MSFS 2020, but I can't find any info on the v-speeds. Would you be so kind as to give me the V-Speeds for this beautiful beast so that I can make my experience in MSFS 2020 more realistic?
Definitely! I love hearing from people that fly the airplane on MSFS! V1, and Vr are generally between about 115, and 125, with a max weight takeoff having rotate speed of 127. Landing Vref is similar speeds, with a max weight landing ref of about 125.
"I would like to inquire a Citation Longitude pilot whether the aircraft can fly up to six to seven hours at its longest during long-distance flights, and if its long-range cruising speed is indeed 0.74 Mach."
