Video

Thank you for the comment. I have been meaning to do a video that goes through exactly that. I just have not found the time to get around to it. I appreciate the motivation!

@@johnkluenker could you add voice to this video just curious

@jakebeile that’s a simple solution rather than making an entirely new video. I like the idea! I’ll try to work on that this week.

Hi Frank, that was a C-5 Galaxy doing some pattern work at Stockton, our home airport. We do get some pretty cool military jets in there that practice touch-and-goes on occasion.

@@johnkluenker AH! Thanks for the Info! I have some pretty cool stories on Plane Sights!

Haha! I think my Citation X still has the thrust-to-weight advantage. Did you see the look of weight jealousy on the C-5’s face? 😆

@@johnkluenker whatever it has to tell itself 😉

@RetreadPhoto 😂

That’s great! Fantastic atmosphere and wine. And to be able to land an airplane between the vineyards is a DEFINITE perk! 💕 🍷 🛩️

That airplane is most likely based at Travis but we get a lot of military traffic at our home airport of Stockton that show up and practice touch and goes.

@@johnkluenker Yeah, not Altus AFB or Dover AFB based on the terrain seen.

Love it! We get a lot of military traffic here that practice touch and goes at our home airport. We have a great spot on the airport to watch from.

Thank you!!

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

@@johnkluenker ❤️

Thank you!! Yes it is definitely a special place… with fantastic wine, both at HR and in the surrounding area.

Thank you, buddy!! Looking forward to working out a collab sometime!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

That is the avionics cooling fan.

Thank you!

Thanks Neill! Great to hear from you. 👍🏼

I definitely think so! I feel lucky to get paid to fly them!

And I can't wait for the FlightFX Citation X. 😉🛫 The only chance for me to take it to the sky.

@gnashermedia it’s going to be pretty awesome no doubt!

Thank you! I’m glad that you appreciate the videos. 👍🏼

Thanks Brian!!

Thanks! It actually looks worse when you see it from the ground. Ha ha!

Thank you! It is actually an included service with a ForeFlight subscription. Not many people know about it or take advantage of it though. It’s a way to be a little more incognito.

Thank you for that!! Good to know!!

@Flynmc You’re welcome!

Thank you!

Thanks Julian!!

Awesome! It’s a beautiful city with lots to do. Glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you!! Get lucky sometimes. 😀

Absolutely!

Thank you! Yes, that’s a service that ForeFlight provides to its members. Helps you be a little more incognito.

Yes you could absolutely do that. By my estimation you could be airborne in about 3 minutes from connecting the batteries if you really had to in an emergency! No computer programming required. You can fly it like a Cessna 172 if need be.

😂 Levi. You could do that while sitting backwards and blindfolded! 😆 But thanks for watching that!!

Thank you. If I remember correctly that day there weren’t any clouds reported so it was a bit of a surprise. Going VFR simplifies things a bit and we can get some awkward routing on an IFR flight plan. If we had known about the clouds we probably would have filed IFR.

Very cool! I have heard that the XP12 Citation X is fantastic. Are you asking if I could make a video about the procedure for a single engine failure on takeoff?

@@johnkluenker yes sure please

So true! We are pretty lucky. 👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you so much for the comment! Yes, it certainly is interesting and makes you wonder. Sounds like you have quite a bit of experience with the paranormal. Very cool!

Wow!! Thank you so much. That means a lot to me. The channel has struggled to get traction over the years so it certainly motivates me to keep going when I get comments like yours. I appreciate you tuning in!

ATC told us to do that in order to keep adequate spacing behind the airplane in front of us. 👍🏼

Was it a IAF for the ILS and they wanted you to fly around it? Was trying to follow along. I’m a new jet guy at FSI working on my X type rating. Your videos have been tremendously helpful. Also, any chance you could share your ForeFlight checklist 😊

The “quiet/no music” version is here: Flying Across the Ocean to Hawaii in a Citation X Corporate Jet - QUIET MUSIC VERSION czcams.com/video/badFXbljGm0/video.html I completely faded it out in some areas. Just about everybody prefers it over this one, including me! Sadly CZcams seems to push the loud music version instead of this one and I don’t understand why. If you check out the other version I would really appreciate a comment to let me know what you think of it. BTW it turned out OK for me. Due to so many negative comments about the music being too loud, the YT algorithm deemed the video to be “buzzworthy” and pushed it out in front of people. Sooo it’s the only video I’ve made that has ever really taken-off! 😆

😆

Nice! That C85 is an awesome STOL engine for turning a long prop. I should add the dyno report chart to the video. Was recently on a dyno. The report showed 130 HP at 2828 RPM and it was still putting out as much as 125 HP all the way down at 2400 I believe. Pretty good for an O-200!!

Thanks for the comment! The only Citation type rating I have is in the X. I definitely enjoy it! All airplanes are fun!

La cordillera de los andes ???

😂 So true!!

Thanks Charles!!

Thanks, Trevor!!!

Yes, that’s exactly what it is. But when the sea is rough, you can’t see the reflection of the clouds like that. It was a commentary on how calm the seas were that day.

Wow! Thank you! To be put in the same sentence as Citation Max is humbling, to say the least. I only have 3% of the subscribers that he has. 🤦🏼‍♂️😂 Glad to hear that you are figuring out the X! The TOGA button is actually pretty simple. It brings the Flight Director bars up to I believe 13.5° which is optimal for takeoff or go around pitch. Pushing that button will also sequence to the missed approach in the FMS if you are shooting an approach and have to go missed. Thank you so much for the comment. I greatly appreciate it! I grew up on Microsoft Flight Simulator long before flying in the real world, so I am thrilled that I have the opportunity to give back a little bit to the Flight Sim community!

@@johnkluenker I think I finally discovered that about the FD bar on TO, just haven’t used it since then (memory fades). So it sounds like the GA part of that is like the Suspend button on Garmin when going missed. I’ll have to try that. I never really practiced a Go Around on the X.

Haha! They definitely keep us on our toes! Thank you!!
