MSFS 2020 | TUTORIAL: How to fly the Working Title Cessna Citation CJ4 | Complete Lesson

Learn along with me as I take to the skies in the Working Title Cessna Citation CJ4 (version 0.10.2) under the expert tuition of Matt, one of the Working Title developers. If you're looking for guidance on something specific, click "show more" for chapters. The CJ4 with the Working Title mod is an incredible plane. It's a joy to fly and, at the time of publishing, it's probably the most detailed and realistic aircraft in MSFS. It eats up the miles like the airliners but it allows you to fly into small airports and explore parts of the world that airliners just can't reach. If you haven't flown it yet, you absolutely should! And following along with this lesson is a great way to get started. As we fly a short flight from London Luton (EGGW) to Inverness (EGPE), this lesson will teach you everything you need to know to conduct a simple flight, just as it would be flown in the real world. Matt takes us through setting up the aircraft from cold and dark, starting the engines, taxiing, taking off, climbing, cruising, descending and shooting an ILS approach. Along the way, we discuss the autopilot, VNAV modes, how the FADECs work, speed management and real world ops procedures. Here's the route, for those who want to follow along: EGGW/07 OLNEY2C OLNEY T420 TNT UN57 POL UN601 TLA DCT FOYLE N560 NESDI DCT GUSSI DCT INS DCT EGPE/05 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CHAPTERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PRE-DEPARTURE 00:00:00 - Introducing Matt & the Working Title CJ4 project 00:06:30 - Flight planning 00:07:50 - Powering up 00:08:42 - FMC initialisation 00:10:00 - Connecting ground power 00:11:35 - Importing a flight plan 00:15:33 - Adding departures & arrivals 00:23:03 - Dealing with discontinuities 00:24:58 - Performance settings 00:30:35 - Switching between hPa & inHG 00:31:16 - Built-in checklists & passenger briefings 00:35:00 - Starting the engines 00:38:27 - Setting takeoff trim & flaps 00:41:10 - Autopilot & yaw damper discussion TAXI OUT, TAKEOFF, CLIMB & CRUISE 00:42:36 - Taxi out 00:45:49 - Before takeoff checklist 00:50:03 - Autopilot takeoff options 00:50:50 - Line up 00:52:05 - Takeoff autopilot setup 00:53:57 - Takeoff procedure briefing 00:54:58 - Takeoff 01:02:20 - Climb 01:13:53 - Cruise 01:19:51 - Cockpit lighting 01:22:00 - PFD & MFD features DESCENT, APPROACH, LANDING, TAXI IN & SHUTDOWN 01:27:14 - Descent preparation 01:29:49 - Autopilot descent options (VS, VPATH etc.) 01:31:21 - VNAV descent - snowflakes & donuts 01:32:33 - ALTS vs ALTV 01:34:15 - ATC clearances & VNAV descents 01:35:58 - VNAV path smoothing 01:37:16 - Speed during descent 01:38:45 - Approach preparation 01:42:56 - ILS tuning, NAV-to-NAV transfer, pre-select navigation source 01:47:20 - Seatbelts & landing briefing 01:48:03 - Initial approach & approach performance setup 01:51:18 - Switching to intercept leg & intercepting final 01:55:50 - Final approach & landing 02:02:02 - Taxi in 02:04:25 - Parking & shutdown ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WORKING TITLE CJ4 LINKS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Working Title CJ4: https://github.com/Working-Title-MSFS-Mods/fspackages Working Title Discord: https://discord.gg/qXGq7auGaW ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SCENERY ADD-ONS USED ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UK2000 Luton 2020HD: https://www.uk2000scenery.co.uk/luton-2020hd-msfs UK2000 Inverness 2020HD: https://www.uk2000scenery.co.uk/inverness-2020hd-msfs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WANT TO SUPPORT THE CHANNEL? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Join Club Filbert with a regular donation and access perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmiXdxpQlbpFLCA-Mb_diww/join Make a one-off donation: https://streamlabs.com/filbertflies or https://buymeacoffee.com/filbertflies Join my Discord: https://discord.gg/hNA9ANn ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM SPECS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i7 8700k processor 32GB RAM GeForce GTX 1080Ti LG UltraWide 25UM58 25-inch Monitor Thrustmaster T16000.M flight stick ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MSFS GRAPHICS SETTINGS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/50821221031_cbd59d694d_b.jpg
