- Follow me in the cockpit of a Citation V jet on a VFR flight to Danbury. The procedures in the cockpit are explained and ATC is recorded. You will see also how the thrust reverser emergency re-stow system is checked.
Your comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Happy Landings,
Guido
What I appreciate the most in these videos is Guido's thoroughness and professionalism. Piloting excellence.
Thank you!
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you for watching my videos "paralleler".
CZcams has changed the "reply" settings somehow, so I hope this message reaches you.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Your level of situational awareness regarding what the controllers is doing and the traffic they're working is something every GA pilot should strive to replicate. Really nice job on that one.
Guido, Great video with explanations of what is going on, the checklists involved and some of the equipment on the Citation V on this VRF flight to Danbury. Thanks for taking time to do this. It sure helps one understand the complexities and systems involved in flying a piece of equipment like this.
Greetings Mike!
Thank you for your kind words.
Happy landings,
Capt. Guido
Another great example of single pilot cockpit management! Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate proper prior planning preventing pretty poor performance!
The efficiency with which you fly is impressive. No wasted energy. I enjoy your postings.
Simply fantastic! This kind of video is not only entertaining, but very educational as well. I like when you said "Apparently I have cleared the traffic." Great job.
Thank you Emil.It is great to hear that these videos are not only entertaining but in a way educational as well.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you very much! It means a lot to me that this comes from two "old dogs" in the industry like you are. I am relatively new in this game, flying commercially since 2003. I am a mining engineer and flying is my second career.
I try to learn every day and to listen to people who know more that I do.
Thanks again & happy Landings,
Guido
Guido, you have absolutely the best video and flight narration EVER put on CZcams! Beautiful steep approach to a short runway and planted perfectly on the "numbers" and split the centreline right down the middle! You sir, are a fantastic pilot and I hope you get to train others to your standards. Thank you SO much :)
Thanks!
Your are obviously from ATC and have all that inside knowledge! Very interesting.
I can only say that it is a pleasure to work with ATC here in the USA. Very professional people.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Guido..I was on the phone with a friend of mine this week talking about your videos. Both of us have over 30 years of airline experience. We both agree that your professionalism is so impressive. Your videos are a real pleasure to watch. They are good training films for procedures, checklist use, etc. Great stuff. Keep me coming.
Out the window it looks scary (I'm not a pilot),and inside cockpit it all seems so came and well managed. I half expected you to turn to camera and say "And that's how easy it really is". I wish such professionalism could be repeated in all walks of life!
Thank you very much!
I have to admit: it is (for the well trained and responsible pilot) easy...
Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings,
Guido
Love the attention to detail and the continuous crosschecking with the checklists. I do the same for every flight. Fantastic to see the ground move so fast (not a common view in a C172). Thanks for posting.
Thanks very much for posting Guido, you are the consummate professional in the cockpit and it is always a pleasure to fly (virtually) with you!
Ah! Can't help but chuckle when those geese show up, strutting across the taxiway so casually. Another fine flight!
Guido, thank you for your video's i have been watching all of them over the break and want to thank you for your selfless contribution back to the industry I wish there was more of you to spread around I would fly with you anytime!! Your skills and demeanor are of a level we all aspire to thank you for helping to create better pilots the world over please don't stop!!

Australia
Thank you very much, Charles.
Greetings to Australia and happy landings in 2015,
Guido
Thank you Guido for taking the time to film, edit, add remarks, and upload all your videos. They are very good. As an aspiring pilot I watch them all with and I learn a lot from you. Thank you.
Thank you, Nick.
Yes it is a lot of work to make these videos but comments like your help a lot...
Happy Landings,,
Guido
*with much enthusiasm*. I type too fast when I get excited.... Thanks again Guido and I look forward to my first landing!
Nick Call Thank you Nick.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you Guido
Once again, an outstanding video. Thanks for being a fantastic example of tremendous professionalism and giving us an inspired insight to cockpit operations. Please keep the videos coming!
Liked your wise advise about working with ATC as a team as you traversed a busy terminal area VFR. Great advice and excellent tip - the right attitude makes all the difference!
Thank you Chris.
Runway overruns are one of the biggest risk factors in these small business jets.
If the speeds are not nailed,it is critical.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you!
I never sow the traffic while in the aircraft, only on the video. It shows again the importance of traffic warning systems.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you very much!
Flying is a never ending learning process until you hand in your licence - hopefully at really old age..
All the best and happy landings,
Guido
Outstanding. Not an aviator, but am fascinated with it all, and your videos give us laymen a great view inside the cockpit. Thanks for sharing!
Joe Hill
I love your videos Guido, because while I watch them I learn little snippets of information from the writing on the screen! Emil
Another great video. Glad to see someone else thought they saw the traffic cross opposite your direction in that 16:30 time frame, I backed the video up to make sure I was seeing what I thought I saw there.
...love your video's....retired pilot...flew all from J-3's to Citation lots in King Air's...only memories now as i watch youtub from my wheelchair...thank you for bring it all back to me..."and doing it the RIGHT WAY"
Thank you very much, Chuck!
Do not know if I do it the right way, but at least I try.
Nice to hear from a guy who had a fulfilled flying career.
All the best for the New Year & Happy Landings,
Guido
I flew with Chuck in the Citation and King Airs. I never had so much fun in my life. Chuck is a kick in the pants to fly with.
Stephen White ....Hey Steve....don't tell all!!!...FAA may give me license again...just to take it away !!!!
Chuck, I would do just about anything to fly with you again with the possible exception of sleeping with Rosie O'Donnell.
Don't you just love the B1RD situations!
Thank you for such great videos. I have been flying singles and twin prop jobs since 1968, however have not been up in a few years since leaving Japan. Thank you or letting me "sit in the jump seat". Your work is appreciated!
Thank you Ronald.
I had the pleasure to fly in a glider as a front seat passengers - what an experience! This is "real" flying.We just use a lot of engine power and kerosene...
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you John! Greetings to SA. I have lived and flown out of Lanseria from 2002-2008. Still hold my SACAA ATP valid very year.
The pole in the extended center line runway 26 is 701 ft MSL. Crossing it at 900ft gives you 200 ft clearance. Not a lot. A Cirrus recently crashed into that pole at night, Killing the pilot.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you! It is my greatest pleasure to share my experiences with fellow pilots.
Muito obrigado. Greetings to Brazil.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Outstanding recording and content! Thanks!
I flew Citation IIs, Vs and IIIs for years, and now fly the B777 on NY to Asia routes, and I think I could complement your professionalism and thorough procedures with such a beautiful jet! thanks for posting. I miss those Citation days...
Thank you very much, Rey!
So you made quite a career in flying. And you see speeds constantly above Mach 0.70.... :-)
The Citation is a great jet and a stepping stone in most pilot careers, Almost like the Beechcraft King Air.
All the best & thanks for watching my videos!
Happy Landings,
Guido
I really enjoyed your flight, I liked how you explained everything that you were doing and how we should think of atc as a team, i have never thought of them like that I have always been scared even to talk on the radio. Im just now starting to understand what people mean when they tell me to stay ahead of the plane. So your video reinforced that part. thank you again for taking the time to make this
Thank you Dylan.
To talk on the radio requires practice and some understanding of the system. This builds up confidence.
Happy Landings,
Guido
On,y a pleasure, Vince.
You cannot imagine how many question I have asked to learn more about aviation...
Happy Landings,
Guido
I am a private pilot out KBTV,, your videos are fantastic and very informative. Keep them coming Guido.....Love them!!!
Thank you, Steven.
This video is for you: take off at KBTV:
King Air B100 take off - cockpit view with ATC!
Happy Landings,
Guido
I'm really enjoying these videos. You've inspired me to continue my flight training. I completed my PPL over 10 years ago but have barely flown since then. Time to get back in the seat. Please keep making these!
Thank you very much, Nate!
These are the kind of news that make me very happy. Very motivating to me to put in all the time & efforts of making the videos!
All the best for your "new" flying and happy landings,
Guido
Hey Guido. First time viewing one of your videos. I really like your presentation style of your flights. You explain well without making us newbies feel too dumb. And the onscreen comments/explanations are awesome. Count me as a new 'soul on board' for your videos. Subscribed!
Very nice job, beautifully done. Your passion for flying the airplane and sharing your love of aviation with others is great to see.
If you're curious, the transponder change from 0xxx to a 'real code' was because the first code was a local code only (not from the HOST computer). Once he realized you were going to leave the sector (vertically and laterally), you got a new code.
Some of the quick freq changes were likely to be altitude related, too.
Keep 'em coming!
Thank you Brandon.
We have a lot of problems with these stubborn geese. It's ok when they block the taxiway but you don't want to hit them in flight.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Really like the professionalism you show in your videos Guido.
Thank you very much, Christian.
I have more videos in the works for you, please stay tuned.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you for your effort to put these videos up. I enjoy your comments in the cockpit.
I love the videos and the commentary.... you learn there is much more than we can see from the back.
Thank you very much, Cedric.
I hope this "learning" is fun too...
Happy Landings,
Guido
Vielen Dank Herr Warnecke,
I cannot believe how fast 22 minutes "flew" by.
I look forward to more videos.
Cheers,
Luke
I really enjoy your videos Guido, thank you for taking the time and effort to do it.
Thank you! I personally find it quite amazing what the flight sim community does.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you very much, Chris.
Flying is a constant learning process. And the you retire...
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thanks - it makes the single pilot flying so much easier.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thanks Michael!
The reason to fly VFR was that the route direct was about 40% shorter than IFR. This is however 100% safety driven: if the weather is not 100% good, we go IFR, no matter what.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Amazing, I love your running commentary....your videos are very informing and a pleasure to watch. Keep them coming. Thank you
Thank you Anton!
Safe flights & happy landings,
Guido
Great to see a real pro fly great AC. I'm a Commercial/Instrument Pilot since 1978. Really enjoy the videos. Thx.
Thank you very much, Thomas.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you for posting this video the way you did! I am just an enthusiast, and always wanted to see how does everything that's going on in the cockpit really look like, and what's all that "noise" mean :) Now, it makes much more sense, and please keep it nice and simple! Superb job!
Another fantastic video as always Mr W...thanks for allowing us to enjoy your professional flying career with extreme envy!
Very nice work with the controllers - I'm sure they appreciate it. I also saw the traffic at 16:29 - 16:40 going by on the co-pilot side :)
Thanks for the upload!
Guido, a suggestion for a video. I think your fans are impressed by your adherence to checklist, procedures, etc. Long before you enter the cockpit, several things have taken place. Perhaps a one time video of preflight starting with weather, filing flight plan, fuel load, number of pax and bags for the trip, destination wx, alternate and it's weather, preflight walk around. The reason I suggest this is mostly because of how you, Guido, think and approach your flying.
Guido, just wanted to drop you a line, I thoroughly enjoy all of your vidoes, thank you for posting!
That is very kind of you, Mat.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you David.
With good cockpit organization it is easy.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you for the video Guido. You have the best cockpit videos on CZcams.
signman Bob You are very welcome!
Thanks for watching the videos & happy landings,
Guido
Thanks Chris for this "insider" information.
Happy Landings,
Guido
that was a great video with excellent sound and camera view.
Thanks!
Always shoot the questions - anything.
Thrust reversers are well protected NOT to come out inadvertently. So, when deploying them I have to be in idle. I lift a small lever up. Once deployed, these small levers act as a throttle, so I can advance power, to about 85% what "normal" thrust would be. At 60 knots, I have to be back in idle, as stones etc. might be sicked back in the engine. This is why we do the "60 knots" call on landing roll out.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you!
I have flown piston twin aircraft and I have to say that the workload is quite high, especially the engine management.
So much easier in a jet / turboprop.
All the best for your flying career and greetings to Australia!
Happy Landings,
Guido
Terrific video and your dialog box about the geese was priceless! :-)
David
Thank you David.
I prefer the geese on the taxiway and not in the air...
Happy Landings,
Guido
The turbines run at a relatively high N2 in flight (52%). I say "flight idle" when clearing the antenna. After landing and 8 seconds delay, the engines spool down to "ground idle". Ground idle is good to avoid excessive thrust while taxiing. Flight idle keeps the N2 high enough to have a responsive engine in case of a go around or wind shear.
Check this video:
Citation V: turbulence during landing. Cockpit view!
And see at 3:43 how responsive the engines are.
Happy Landings,
Guido
I would love to fly with you some day. Keep up the good work! Oh, as a former controller, I love how you show a high degree of professionalism with the people on the ground. I'm sure they appreciate it. I know I would.
Thank you!
The rudders and ailerons are connected via a spring loaded cable. This is to avoid / minimize adverse yaw (best id to google).
On the ground when taxiing right and left with the rudder pedeals, and no aerodynamic forces present, the rudders make the ailerons move.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thanks Brian.
I have a very interesting job at the moment.
I have flown Gulfstream I and II in South Africa.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Great video as always Guido! Thanks for sharing. Your professionalism and mentoring is top notch and it seems like I pick up something new to add to the tool box from every video. Keep the videos coming they are great. Take care.
Great flight, pretty hazy there. Loved the Geese!
Thank you!
These gees can be dangerous...
Happy Landings
Guido
Thanks John!
An altimeter does not measure "altitude" it measures air pressure. As the pressure decreases at a known rate with altitude you can convert this to indicate feet above sea level. The "altimeter setting" is nothing else than the sea level pressure at an area. We turn this in the altimeter to have a correct reading. At sea level, an altimeter is very accurate, say plus / minus 10ft. At higher altitude it is slightly more. Altimeters are calibrated in regular intervals. Happy Landings,G
Very nice job documenting this flight. I actually felt as if I was in that 3rd seat! Safe travels!
Thank you very much, Jim.
It is a shame that the airlines do not alow passengers in the cockpit anymore.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Another awesome video, Guido. Very professional, informative and fun to watch. Thanks!
You did it again Guido! Awesome video, and even better commentary. Keep 'em coming Captain.
Thank you Austin!
Hut ab, Sie wissen, was Sie tun. Dass Sie überhaupt ein Wort von dem verstehen, was da gefunkt wird und dabei noch fliegen, Respekt.
It takes a while tp get used to ATC.
Here a link to my newest video:

Thanks for recording the flight. Makes for good training and familiarization with procedures and process.
Thank you Roman. It is good to hear that these videos are entertaining and educational at the same time.
Please stay tuned, more videos are in the works.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you!
I will check you videos.
All the best for your flying career and happy landings,
Guido
Thanks Shane! You have better eyes than me....
Airplanes are really difficult to see and I am glad that we have TCAS II (mandatory for aircraft above 12,500 lb) on board.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Outstanding video Guido. Many thanks.
safe flying
Ian
Thank you Ian.
Thanks George.
Greetings to Australia & happy landings,
Guido
Thank you Steve. It is because of the loyal viewers like you are that I can take the time to make these videos. It is quite an effort.
Thanks again and happy landings,
Guido
Thank you!
We go to PDK most of the time in the Atlanta area.
Best regards & happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you!
All the best for your pilots license.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Fantastic, great viewing thanks for sharing. Fly with you any day!
Thank you!
Happy Landings,
Guido
Guido, I absolutely love your videos. I would love to fly with you and learn from you.
Thank you!
Happy Landings,
Guido
Guido, I love your videos. Very professional. I am learning a lot! Please, keep up the good work.
Really enjoyable Guido - I'm a lowly PPL with around 400hrs on singles and can only dream of flying bizjets to your standard. Your videos are great too (also one of my other jobs). If you ever visit the Isle of Man (now with our own 'M' register) I'll buy you a coffee!
As always, excellent Guido. Thanks for posting. Please keep em' coming.
For James Swingle (I could not reply direct to your post)
Thank you James!
1500NM is a long flight for the Citation V, I just did this 2 weeks back from Paris to Ankara. We have two power settings: maximum cruise thrust MCT and lang range cruise LRC. We have tables that give us the N1 setting (the fan rpm) to set these numbers. It depends on pressure altitude, outside air temperature (the tables are based on ISA deviations, meaning its warmer or colder than "normal" and most important aircraft weight. At real high altitudes, say above 41,000ft there is not much difference between MCT and LRC. The air is so thin there that the engines barely produce any power, so no sense to reduce it even further. MCT gives you typically 390-400 knots, LRC typically 350 knots. Just ball bark figures here. But I hope it gives you a better understanding.
Thanks for watching my videos and happy landings,
Guido
Seemed like a very short takeoff run,were you light?
Garry Mulholland Yes, Garry. The aircraft was light, I would say 3,000lb under max take off weight.
I have not even set full power on take off. The thrust is approx 3,000lbs per engine.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thanks Guido.
You are very welcome!
Happy Landings,
Guido
One of the best cockpit videos out there. Thanks for the great vid!
Thank you very much, Frank.
Flying is a never ending learning process.
Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings,

Thank you very much!
Every pilot has started with his/her first flight hour someday.

Hello Guido - I fly single engine piston aircraft and totally understand, its the whole reason why we keep our hands on the throttles all the way to landing. :) My personal favorite is landing with gusting winds it makes for a interesting landing!! Keep up the awesome work i really enjoy your videos especially with the diversity of aircraft you fly. SO Jealous!
very interesting video, as an retired citation mech. I enjoy your videos. thanks.
Well spotted, Nate!
The nose wheel strut was low on pressure (still within limits), this has been rectified. Pull back to get some weight of the nose gear.
Normally in the Citation V mid rage. The aircraft gets very nose heave with all seats occupied as most of the seats are forward of the CG.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you for making these videos.I am learning a lot: Vref, the rule of three, etc.
Thank you for leaving your graphics up longer. Another great video.
thanks for sharing the best quality cockpit videos on youtube. are great.
Brian,
the ailerons and the rudders are connected by a cable to minimize adverse yaw (best: google this). On the ground, with no aerodynamic forces holding the ailerons in place, they move every time when I push the rudder pedals for the nose wheel steering.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thanks Guido..I have sent this along to a friend who is also an aviation buff.
Look forward to the next vieo
Thank you!
With good cockpit organization it is actually very easy.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Thank you Vince!
The rudders and ailerons are interconnected with a spring loaded cable. This is to minimize adverse yaw. On the ground, when taxiing, there are no aerodynamic forces and every time I steer with the rudder pedals, the ailerons move.
Does not happen in flight.
