Citation CJ4 Low IFR Private Jet Flight - 3 Real Instrument Approaches 

Definitely makes it a challenge when it’s not perfect!

Thank you, and thanks for watching!

Thank you very much! Yes I would agree, the level of multitasking and critical thinking that I had to learn as a paramedic has definitely helped me in the flying world.

Thank you very much, and thanks for watching! You guys are busy. Always flying when I am!

Glad you could come along again!

You are quite welcome! Standby for some more CJ4 videos in the next couple weeks!

My pleasure!

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Thank you!

Thank you very much!

Thanks for coming!

Thank you kindly!

Thank you! I've got some more in the works now.

Thank you! Glad you liked the video!

I love the CJ4 as well!

Thanks! Glad to have you as a subscriber!

Glad you are liking the videos! I’ve been to Haiti before, but I’ve never crossed over to the DR. It’s a beautiful place down there!

Thank you! Out on a CJ4 trip now, so expect more CJ4 videos soon!

Glad you liked it!

It is a spectacular machine

Thank you, I’m glad you liked the video!

You are quite welcome, I'm glad you are getting some use out of them!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! Im about to start a 2 day trip on this airplane, and should have several more videos coming out in the next couple weeks.

Thank you very much!

Thank you! It is fun to be challenged!

Glad you liked it!

Thank you for watching! Great to hear you are taking the steps to do it like the pros. Although I am technically a pro, I still don't recognize myself as one. When I was a firefighter full time and only flying on the side, I did the same thing. I started watching RU-vid videos like this to help me determine a flow and SOPs. Safe flying!

Thank you!

You are welcome!

Thank you! Congrats on the private license, you’re going to have a blast!

Thank you!

I keep getting lucky!

Thank you very much, glad you like them! More CJ4 videos coming soon!

I'll try my best! Good luck on your training!

Thank you very much! Out on a CJ4 trip now, so expect more CJ4 videos soon!

Always!

I was worried some people would think the approaches weren’t quite good enough. The last one was the real deal though!

Thank you!

Getting lucky!

Thank you! When my wife first got pregnant, that was a major goal of mine as well. Stay tuned, I am currently working on a project with the AOPA Air Safety Institute to be in one of their videos where I get to talk about exactly that! Flying with family and young children. They make some great videos, so I'm sure this one will turn out great as well.

You bet!

The CJ$ is really easy to land, makes us all look good.

They are good people down there!

@@TheRunwayRyan Yes they are!!

Indeed it was!

Thank you, glad you liked it!

Thank you for your service as well! You have much more than I did. IFR can be a challenge in the frigid north! If you check out my recent Citation M2 video, I talk about and link a friends podcast that I did. That is a pretty good start for how I got to where I am. I’m planning to do an about me video before too long.

@@TheRunwayRyan Will do! Servous/ service - my bad. Obiviously didn't proof read. Silly me!

Sometimes it’s like that!

Yes, I am pretty serious about alternates. I have no issue going to minimums, but I want my alternate to be really good weather. Typically 1,000' or higher. That's just my personal strategy. The CJ4 carries some much fuel that I can have an alternate 500 mile away in a completely different weather zone.

It definitely does. The CJ4 actually has the most redundancy of the entire CJ series. Any one of the 4 screens can perform most of the functions in the event of a failure of the other 3. There are two standalone Air Data Computers (ADCs) as well as two standalone Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS). For power sources, there is the main battery, two engine driven generators, two AC alternators that can power essential systems using AC/DC converters in the event of a dual generator failure, and a standby flight instrument with its own separate battery source, ADC, and AHRS.

I like it a lot. It is more challenging than the Garmin equipped CJ's, but that could be because of my relative lack of experience with the Proline. I've got about 800 hours with the G3000/5000 system and about 150 with the Proline

@@TheRunwayRyan That is good that you enjoy flying single pilot. I haven’t flown single pilot since flying twice Cessnas around 20 years ago. It’s nice having two pilots and someone to talk to.

@@thecorporatepilotdad I've recently started flying an XL as well. There are some definite advantages to having two pilots.

I think the clouds were around 350 feet and we can come down to 200 feet on that approach.

Now you see why I was hiding the tail number! No one wants to cross Chuck Norris!

@@TheRunwayRyan 😂 great channel just came across it today. Subbing right meow. Just started ground school for my PPL. My goal is to do something similar to you! Very inspired by this

@@mediocrates6460 that’s great to hear, and I’m thankful to have you as a subscriber!

That is the AOA (Angle of Attack) Indicator. When the landing gear is down it activates and shows us our real time Vref speed based on the actual current aerodynamics of the airplane. Extremely useful tool.

Ya, sometimes I don't say it quite right. I knew what we were doing though!

Serious stuff!

Nice! I was a flight paramedic for Baptist Health MedFlight here in Little Rock. A couple of my older videos are on the helicopter.

@@TheRunwayRyan was on the phone last night with my bro’s. They were on short standby to evacuate the bird to Brownsville TN because of possible riot fallout. Bad situation…..

@@GHOSTINPLAINSIGHT ya that is no good at all!

You are in luck! I’m flying this airplane several more times this week and I’ve got a 3rd GoPro to give you a panel view like in my Citation M2 video.

@@TheRunwayRyan can’t wait 👍🏼🙌🏼👏🏼

It was an LP only approach, so there is not VNAV.

We had not had time to get it looked at. It only occurred once or twice prior. Unfortunately we aren’t based at a service center, so it can take some time to get the airplane in.

That's a hard one to answer. I currently fly about 450-500 hours a year. I would say around 150 hours was right on the edge of what I felt was too slow.

I try!

I was just a firefighter and flight paramedic, I didn't fly for either of those departments. I wasn't a professional pilot until I left them to pursue this!

@@TheRunwayRyan Thats freakin cool. The ESD guys, pilots and operators make a damn good living. Dangerous work but it pays well.

It is warning me that we have 1,000 feet to go until the level off altitude that I have set in the preselector

@@TheRunwayRyan thanks buddy!

You are correct, nothing out of the ordinary here. I was simply referring to the weather being classified as Low IFR. Truly, as I mentioned in the video, it ended up being much better than forecast anyways.
