Citation CJ3+ Business Jet - Take off in Iceland with 50 knots winds!
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2024
- This is part 1 of a short video series of a flight in a modern Citation CJ3+ business from Keflavik, Iceland to Belgrade, Serbia.
Single pilot operation.
Extreme winds on take off but only an insignificant crosswind component.
This sector was part of a ferry flight from the USA to Europe.
Your comments and suggestions are always welcome!
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
I've watched your videos since I began training in flight school, and now--roughly 10 years and 3500+ hours of flying later--it is still a pleasure watching your videos. Always professional with great skill. I modeled a lot of my flying attitudes after your professionalism. Thank you for all the great videos over the years. Happy landings Captain! All the best!
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!!
Was stationed at Keflavik back in the 90s when the base was open. It’s always windy there lol. Great video.
Seldom I see good weather days...
But the people are nice and friendly.
I just uploaded a video from BIKF in good weather:

absolute best pilot in all of aviation youtube. I wish the entire community were as professional and technically proficient as you
Thank you for your kind words.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Love your videos. Just passed my NPPL in Ireland. Cheap G.A flying, it has always been a passion and ambition and you were an inspiration. Glad your posting again.
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.
I like how you repeatedly say to ALWAYS use checklists. There is at least one popular CZcamsr who doesn't, and this bothers me because he's setting a bad example. It doesn't matter how familiar you are with a plane, checklists are crucial.
Thank you.
Important is to use checklist when nobody watches you on CZcams 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”??
I’m subscribed to several CZcams flight channels and this is one of my favorites. Very professional pilot. No fluff. … Thank you for posting. Safe flying.
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.
The very first things that were drummed into me even before my first instructional flight was the cockpit is always a sterile environment and also if you even remotely think that you have missed a item go back and commence the checklist from the beginning. That is one beautiful aircraft your flying captain. ✈️👍
Thank you Michael.
Like so many aircraft I fly, unfortunately also this one does not belong to me..
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
You are the consummate professional. Thank you so much for your great example for all of us pilots!
You are very welcome.

Just a casual flight simmer here, but I learn SO MUCH from you!
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.
Wow, that is quite an amazing view from the cockpit - I had no idea the CJ3 had such great wraparound windshield!
Iy has a huge windshield with a great view. It gets hot in summer though.

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 rate of climb for sure. Good to see as usual all your graphical and text annotations, which give so much info. Seems the wind guts were no big problem. Thanks as usual for a fine video. Best for 2024. :)
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
Happy new year Guido, fantastic video as always, love the panels and the joke of this new citation compared to the previous flown
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
Good to see you back again Captain, and so soon this time! Season's greetings Guido :)
Thank you!
Best wishes for you and your family in 2024.

Thank you Harvey.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Always nice to see you posting Guido. :)
More to come!
Thank you.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
The aircraft got airborne very quickly, especially considering how slowly the pilot brought in the power.
No doubt the 40+ kts of wind on the nose aided in that, while an excess of power coupled with a lightly loaded plane did the rest.
Thumbs up, love the content.
Thank you!
The CJ3+ is very powerful, especially with the headwind it lifts off very quickly - as you mentioned.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
So nice to hear from you! Merry Christmas!

Thank you, Cap't. Guido, for another great video! That looks like a wonderful machine to fly!! I love your videos because you are the consummate professional for all things aviation! I also love how you push checklists, as well as highlighting what you are doing on the panel. Many others logging and sharing flights tell what they are doing, but don't show HOW or WHERE they are doing it.
I remember all too well how windy it was when I lived in Keflavic. I do believe it's the windiest, most inhabited place on the planet. Not the windiest in the world, but the windiest AND inhabited. Some argue with me about the semantics, so I just wanted to specify that. 🙂
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, sir, and hope you also have a stellar new year!!
Thank you very much for your kind words.
Iceland has a lot of bad weather but nice and friendly people.

You get to V1 pretty fast with that headwind. 😯
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,

That is correct.
We don’t know how exactly that happened.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
5000 ft/min! Wow!!
Performance is good on a cold day.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Great video Captain. Am I right in thinking that you were climbing in PIT (pitch) mode, because IAS mode would have been too unstable due to the high/gusting winds?
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
Amazing Capt! How does the CJ3+ compare to PC 24, do you have hours on a PC 24? Your videos are so informatice - I love them all!!! Please do not stop. Merry Christmas to you. ❤
I have flown only the PC12, not the 24.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Fantastic video. Thank you. Im nee to your channel and subscribed for your great content.
May I please ask, what is the 'click and whoosh' sound coming across in the audio when you set TO power and are accelerating down the runway?
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
👍
Thanks for the "thumbs up"...
Best Wishes for 2024! Does it take some time to re-familiarize with instruments in each different type you fly?
It’s certainly a challenge,
If it’s an aircraft I have not flown for a while, I take my time to re-familiarize.

hi from australia
Greetings to Australia!
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
In this case, were you actually committed at V1? With the nose wind and another several thousands feet of runway remaining?
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
Do you have ‘Check for any volcanoes going off’ on your Icelandic checklist?
Hi Chris,
Iceland has a rough nature - but very nice and friendly people.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Great video! At the 2:03 mark, a noise appears that sounds like something pulsing throughout your takeoff roll. What is that?
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.

Hello, thanks for this video, just a question, what's your qualification (pratical and theorical) for this type of aircraft ?
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
@GuidoWarnecke Could you tell how do you use your check-list ? Is it a "to do list" or do you first set things then actually check things, as the name checklist suggest ?
Happy Near year !
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 !
Im freaking out i couldn't decide if it was real or videogame...
No video game, just a rather normal day in Iceland…
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Wow ! Why do pitot heat have switches? Shouldn't they be automatic and come on after engine start?
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.

was kostet mitfliegen eigentlich ? Geht das im Cockpit ?
