Citation CJ3+ Business Jet - Take off in Iceland with 50 knots winds! 

Thank you Roberto! Congrats to your achievements in your flying career. Please keep me posted. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

I was going to say the same thing! I've been watching Capt Guido's videos since I was a PPL student. Now I'm flying CJs, like him in this video. Of course, my skills are nowhere near this level, but it is still cool!

I'm still flying my 172 but still love his videos, ha

Any airplane is a good airplane... Happy New Year! Capt. Guido

@@GuidoWarnecke Happy New Year, Captain!!

Wow! I started 13 years ago with the channel. 20 Million clicks so far. Thanks for your loyalty to my channel. More videos are in the works for you. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you Max. I do my very best for you. Thanks for your patience and loyalty to my channel. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you. Fly safe in 2024! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

We are all group of a big aviation family. I learn on every flight too. Aviation is a never ending learning process. I use XPlane11 to practice some maneuvers and familiarize with new airports. What’s your set up? Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

@@GuidoWarnecke Nothing fancy, just X-Plane 11 and a TCA sidestick. Once I get out of the hole I'm dying for a nice yoke like the Honeycomb or Thrustmaster Boeing.

Thank you very much Borys. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you for your kind words. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you. Important is to use checklist when nobody watches you on RU-vid or you instructor is with you. Checklists are really important for flight safety. if you have not done already, try to get the book "the Checklist Manifesto". A really interesting read on how checklists are important in a lot of areas of professional life. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Perhaps he does and edits that out of the video for time savings.

@@GuidoWarnecke +1 for the Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande! 🙂 Actually, the book is about the use of checklists in the medical environment, where is led to a significant decrease in post surgery complications (and in extension, fatalities). But the arguments hold true, independent of the field - I started using checklists in IT. Some of them were later turned into scripts - nobody is better at following checklists than a computer... ;-)) (Grmbl - just noticed, my copy is AWOL...)

@@GuidoWarnecke I'll get it. Thanks!

who is this “one youtuber”??

Thank you Michael. Best wishes for 2024 for you and your family! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

You are very welcome Ron! go to a local ✈️school and boomk and introdiction flight. it is not expensice. You fly with a flight instrictor, sit om the left seat and get a feeling for what it os about fling. Warning: can be addictvie.. :-) Happy Landings, Capt. Guido.

That was in an older C560, Bernard. Happy Landings, Capt. Gudio

Seldom I see good weather days... But the people are nice and friendly. I just uploaded a video from BIKF in good weather: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y-NBeffvuTg.html Happy Landings, Capt Guido

Thank you! I am just another well trained pilot... Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you! Best wishes and congrats on your achievements in aviation. Where and what are you flying these days? Happy Landings, Capt.. Guido

Thanks Capt! What started as a bet with a friend and colleague backfired and I am now a lifer! I am Lucky enough to own a very nice 310Q, I sometimes fly a King Air 200 and I am considering taking a full time contract this year with a part 135 company to build more turbine time. Not sure that I would want to be in a 121 environment. Thanks again for all your inspiring videos and disciplined flying. I am based out of KRYN in Tucson Az. Please reach out if you are in the area. I would love to buy you lunch or dinner. @@GuidoWarnecke

Great story! Among the many Cessna variants I have flown, the 310 is still in my bucket list. Undoubetly the sexiest of all piston twins. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you very much for your subscription and you support for my channel. More videos are in thew works for you. Best wishes for 2024 for you and your family! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

@@GuidoWarnecke Thank you Sir! … Happy New Year to you as well.

You are very welcome. Does your screen name imply that you fly a Piper Cub? I am a fan of this aircraft. Best wishes for 2024 for you and your family! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Very cool! The Warneckes.... Best wishes for 2024 for you and your Warnecke family! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

The Citation jet is on the market in all variants since the 1970's. While the basic concept has not much changed, the engines and avionics have evolved a lot over the years. The CJ3+ is one of the most modern jets in its class. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you! Congrats on passing the flight test. Best of luck for your future endeavors in aviation. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Well done on getting your PPL!

I'm not sure about in Ireland, but here in the UK I recently converted my NPPL to the new LAPL-A licence. It gives additional privileges and the ability to gain certain endorsements (which are not available with NPPL). Ask your flight school about it.

Thank you Paul. Best wishes for 2024 for you and your family! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Iy has a huge windshield with a great view. It gets hot in summer though. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you for your support! Best wishes for 2024 to you and your family. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you. And thanks for your loyalty to my RU-vid channel. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

More to come! Thanks for your loyalty to my RU-vid channel. Best wishes for 2024 for you and your family! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

It’s a very powerful aircraft and the temperature was low. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Much appreciated Chris. The wind was steady and only an insignificant crosswind. At these low temperature the CJ3+ climbs like a rocket. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you - Mille Grazie! Greetings to Verona and Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

It looks like it’s a be normal day there… Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Only my pleasure! happy Landings, Capt. Guido

More to come! Thank you. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Only my pleasure. Thanks for your patience and loyalty to my channel. Another one will come up in the next day, the landing in LYBE. Happy Landings, Capt.. Guido

Thank you! Best wishes for you and your family in 2024. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you! The CJ3+ is very powerful, especially with the headwind it lifts off very quickly - as you mentioned. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you! Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2024 to you and your family. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you Jose. Happy Landings & Happy New Year, Capt. Guido

Thank you. The video with the approach and landing in Belgrade will come up shortly. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

You are correct on this Andrew. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Well spotted Dale! V1 in these conditions is a bit academic, as is Vr. I kept the airplane on the ground for a but longer for safety, in case the wind would shift. To you and your family best wishes for 2024 and HAPPY LANDINGS, Capt. Guido

Thank you - first comment on the video :-) Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

@@GuidoWarnecke thank you for the reply Captain. Here is to more blue skies, smooth landings and more amazing content. Hope to see you land in South Africa 🇿🇦 again in the future!

Thank you Desmond. I will let you know when the next ferry flight to SA is on. I still keep my SACAA ATPL current. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Yes! unfortunately these airplanes do not belong to me... Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

@@GuidoWarnecke even better ! You fly 'em, somebody else pays the bills. about 2200 miles ?

Yes! The fuel bills are quite hefty...

Thank you - muito obrigado. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Absolutely! Not acceptable is it was a cross wind. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

You are very welcome Dave. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you - mille grazie Maurizio. Greetings to Italy! To you and your family my best wishes for 2024 - auguri. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you! I hold several type ratings but keep only two ratings current: King Air B350 and CE525. It is very expensive for the recurrent training. Happy Landings and a Happy New Year! Capt. Guido

Thank you Gerard. And thanks for your patience and loyalty to my RU-vid channel. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

It would be a nice sim indeed... Best wishes for 2024 for you and your family! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

The clicking noise is from a bleed air valve, that did not properly open and trapped some air in it. The bleed air is used to de-ice the windscreen and helps with removing rain on the ground. The CJ dies not have windscreen wipers and an electrically heated windscreen (except the CJ4). Thanks for watching my videos in such detail. To you and your family my best wishes for 2024! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

FL450 above all weather is a nice way to travel... Best wishes in 2024 for you and your family. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

@@GuidoWarnecke Same back, just little old me here though - looking forward to many more videos from you in 2024.

I will do my best for you. Thanks for your patience and for your loyalty to my RU-vid channel. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

During climb, the performance decreases quickly. So vertical speed is definitely not a good mode. It may lead to a stall as the autopilot will lift the nose of the aircraft to maintain the selected vertical speed. IAS/FLC is ok too but the best mode in my opinion is PITCH. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you. I’m just another well trained pilot. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

You can do 6 hours + 1 hour reserve on long range cruise @ FL450. TAS is around 370 knots. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you Rolf. Happy Landings to you as well! Capt. Guido

Thank you - muito obrigado! Greetings to Brazil and Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

I am not sure about that... :-) Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

I have flown only the PC12, not the 24. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

It’s certainly a challenge, If it’s an aircraft I have not flown for a while, I take my time to re-familiarize. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Performance is good on a cold day. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you! Happy landings & a happy New Year, Capt. Guido

You are very welcome Paul! To fly this aircraft I have an ATPL, a single pilot type rating CE525 (S) with 12 months currency and a class 1 medical. Insurance companies can also demand a shorter currency period. Not easy to have that kind of fun :-) Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Ok ! thans for your quick response, have a good day ;)@@GuidoWarnecke

That is correct. We don’t know how exactly that happened. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

You have a good point. However in jet flying there is no room for assumptions. At what speed would you abort the take off? These jets accelerate at a very rapid rate. We normally do a briefing like this: "Past V1 I will continue unless the aircraft is unsafe to fly.....". It is a case to case decision. thanks for you interesting comment. Happy Landings, Capt.. Guido

Probably Windshield Anti-Ice Bleed Switch ON (Hi or Low) and the Bleed Air manual valves CLOSED. Hence the pulsing (bleed air) trying to get through and defog the Windshield. Normally the this system is activated a few miles before top of descent.

100% correct. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

@@execpilot1047 Thank you!

Hello Pierre, as I fly mostly single pilot you have to be very careful with the use if checklists. One the one hand you want to ensure that you cover all items, on the other hand the checklist should not be a distraction from flying. The checklists from the manufacturer are often too detailed Example: take off checklist says "full power"... ok, I think we know that... I use own designed checklists where I put only the challenge, not the response: Example on the final items check list >>lights and heatsconfiguration>Thermos

@@GuidoWarnecke thank you so much, I'll keep that in mind as part of time building :) Happy new year !

It was certainly not the best solution l. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

It’s a very powerful aircraft! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

@@GuidoWarnecke Well you had a ~40kt airspeed before rolling!

Hello there! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Hi Chris, Iceland has a rough nature - but very nice and friendly people. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

You have a good point here. I think in some airliners there is an automated switch. But I am nit sure as I do not fly these. The Citation jet has a 2 minute limitation for the switch. Not so much for the overheating of the pitot tube (that would just cause some blue heat strains). The limitation is about the AoA angle of attach sensor which is heated by the same switch. They say the bearing would overheat. Best wishes for 2024 for you and your family! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

@@GuidoWarnecke You are right, on our airliners there is a "Probe Heat" switch which is normally in the Auto position. Nobody ever touches it. It can be switched off though. I don't know why you would want to switch it off. If we change a probe we pull circuit breakers. Oh yeah, if we put the aircraft in the "Air Mode" we would probably switch probe heat off. On a side note I used to overhaul the AoA unit in the back shop. To test the heat element I would switch on and watch the amps climb to a set amount and start to decline. That's it. No actual heat test....which always seemed inadequate to me. BUT....I've never heard of any in service problems with them on our Airbus....so the manufacturer must know what they were doing when they wrote the maintenance procedures. As far as the bearing overheating on the AoA......that's interesting because the Airbus (Thales) AoA always seemed to have inadequate bearings. When I sent them out from the shop as serviceable with new bearings I used a dial indicator that measures in grams to measure whatever the spec was. The intent being that the bearing should have enough freedom of movement so that a small dampening weight inside the unit should cause the vane to turn straight up when the aircraft was at rest. I don't know for certain why the manufacturer wanted it that way but I know it is an indication to the pilot that the vane has freedom of movement and will "weather vane" once airspeed starts to build. Otherwise how would you know at a glance whether it is frozen or free? A good item to notice during the walkaround on the A320 family. HOWEVER.......almost all A320s in service the bearing has apparently lost it's lube and they usually come to rest horizontal due to too much friction. The bearing would NOT pass the back shop test. But I understand that back shop standards are not line standards. I think they lose their lube from wind driven rain or something. And again, I've never seen a SDR (service difficulty report) on the AoA being stuck or anything. I think with the sticky bearings it just takes slightly more airspeed to affect movement. Either way whether old or new they should move smoothly with no gritty feel. If it feels gritty at all it should be changed. Thanks very much for replying. Love your videos. I just subscribed !

Greetings to Australia! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thanks for the “like” Jose… Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

I hold several type rating but keep current only the type ratings for the CE525 and BE30. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Ist alles single pilot und nur crew an Bord.

In a large passenger jet you are absolutely correct, it does not make much difference during task. If a wing is lifted, then this can end up badly. Have a look here: airlive.net/news/2021/07/11/a-fedex-cessna-208-caravan-lifted-during-storm-with-95-mph-winds-almost-this-planes-rotation-speed/ Control input is essential for all aircraft during take off and landing. Irrespective of weight. To you and your family best wishes for 2024 and HAPPY LANDINGS, Capt. Guido

Great. I have another vise in the works, a C208 Amphib landing in Germany in bad weather. Will be up in the next days. Would you kindly send me a message if you have received a RU-vid notification. There is a possibility that also my settings are wrong. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

@@GuidoWarnecke will do, for sure.

Thanks for the "thumbs up"...

Hi George, all is a matter of personal preference. The G3000 is a very easy to use avionics. Well integrated int he jet. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

The wind was right down the runway and it was a relatively heavy aircraft. You should;d not do that in a C172. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
