In this video we take the Citation CJ4, featuring the AAU1 update, for a spin in New Zealand. We depart Auckland (NZAA) via a RNAV departure utilizing VNAV and arrive in Wellington (NZWN) via an RNAV RNP approach.
I'm not sure how your passengers will feel after going from almost 9000fpm to level flight on that departure. Would have been better off reducing power far earlier
Thanks Bandit. That took me back 40 years to when I was first married and living in Wellington. I commuted for a few years Tues, We’d, thurs in Auckland, mon, fri and weekends in Wellington. I’ve done that exact flight in B737 s many many times It’s a while since I flew in NZ in MSFS and I think it’s time I had another flight there. Thank you for my nostalgia flight!
Amps showing 0 is correct since the battery is fully charged and the generators are powering the electrical system. If you were to run the battery on the ground you would see a discharge indicated, and then once connecting the APU/external power you would see a positive charge for the brief time it takes to go back to fully charged.
Thanks, Bandit. Another interesting and informative flight. Yes, a stock plane that even Xbox users can fly now that the mod is no longer needed. You can't beat this. Looking forward to the 414 on your next video. One of the best pay ware planes out there.
Thanks Banidit for this great video. I really like the stuff you make on YT. The flights, technical explanation and walk through of so many systems - love it!. I start up my sim with the same aircraft and follow you. I have learnt alot from you, thanks! :)
Very good video. I just started with the CJ4 and I'm enjoying it so far. One problem that seems to plague me is regarding RNAV approaches. After programming the RNAV, and arming the approach, it isn't capturing the glidepath. I am at the required altitude and IAF. I've cycled the approach and nav and lowered the command altitude to zero and that seemed to work, but it didn't do it automatically as shown in your video. Am I doing something wrong or is this just a bug I've encountered? Thanks for the help.
Do you happen to know how to get the ground power to power the CJ4? Ground power shows up outside the CJ4, but it does not deliver any power?? And i cant find anything on the internat either. The WT version had a "MOD" section where one couöd activate the GPU, But on the new ASOBO i cant find anything for this!
