You don’t have to be conservative with reverse thrust. You pull the thrust reversers all the way up but you have to wait until the nose is on the ground and you are applying full forward pressure on the yoke. If you don’t, the application of full thrust reversers will cause no to come up as you are rolling down the runway. The engines are very large and mounted pretty high on the aft fuselage. I Need to make the video I have been meaning to make about landing the Citation X!

@@johnkluenker thank you for the reply! Also, regarding the comment about a new video about landing the Citation . I would love that upload for sure. I also would love to see the step by step in cabin procedures for both land and take off, because I’m just playing a simulation but I still could use the knowledge for in case I ever have to steal one during a zombie apocalypse. Ykwim?🧟🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️😎🤣

Thank you! A few odds and ends left before the Kitfox is flying. Yes Mark still has his challenger. Looking forward to some more off-airport flying with him again soon!

Oh, how cool! How was it? It was pretty choppy while we were there.

@@johnkluenker It was flat, nice dive

@craigsanders6925 fantastic. I bet that was beautiful! It’s a tough beach to get to no doubt!

Thanks, Craig! More to come when I can just find the time.

I could imagine that you can get a Foreflight flight no. with your Foreflight flightplan. The FAA has "FOREFLIGHT, LLC Callsign FOREFLIGHT, ICAO Code FFL", source: www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/atpubs/cnt_html/chap3_section_1.html

Yes it is. It’s a service that ForeFlight provides.

Exactly. It’s a service that ForeFlight provides.

​@@johnkluenker Thanks for the confirmation and the interesting video 😊!

WOOT-WOOT!! Awesome thank you!! I humbly accept. ☺️ Thanks for watching!

Nice!! Oh yeah the struggle is still very real with the HF radios!! 😆

😂 LOLOL I was wondering who would be the first one to catch that. Glad you appreciate the HF! At least people can see what it’s really like out there over the middle of the pond. The HF struggle is real! I was bummed that I shut off the camera just before the dialogue started on 123.45. I turned it on to try to capture it and just caught the tail end. If you see all 6 lights of the TR’s that means they are fully-deployed. One each side, one light means “ARMED”, two lights mean “UNLOCKED”, and three lights for “DEPLOYED”.

@@johnkluenker oh shit, I see them now, the six up top. I was just looking at the Norm screen on the display. I honestly never noticed the three on the copilot side, I’m usually zoomed into one of 4-5 zones, and don’t look all the way to the right there unless it’s zoomed for the APU or pressurization panel. Thanks! Difference between IRW and sim, that’s nothing I’d normally check.

@RetreadPhoto You’re welcome! Glad I could clear it up for ya!

Thank you so much! Glad to hear that you appreciate it. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks!!! More on the way. Tough to find the time to edit these days.

Haha!! Thanks buddy!!

That’s awesome. I love the guys that use it for MSFS. Gives you an extra element of real world realism since so many are using it IRL.

That’s great. I use it IRL and in MSFS for practice. It’s amazing how useful flight simulation has become for real world practice, esp instrument approaches.

@EricEsser Definitely. FF with MSFS is an absolute game changer. I know lots of instructors that have their students pre-fly profiles on MSFS before doing it in the actual airplane. Much more of an efficient way to train!

It absolutely is amazing! Oh yeah. That’s a great expensive lanyard!! 😂

Thanks buddy!

😂 it is an absolutely appropriate love!

Yep! Exactly. The Mammoth Lakes Airport. Love that place!

The “quiet/no music” version is here: Flying Across the Ocean to Hawaii in a Citation X Corporate Jet - QUIET MUSIC VERSION ua-cam.com/video/badFXbljGm0/v-deo.html I completely faded it out in some areas. Just about everybody prefers it over this one, including me! Sadly UA-cam 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. Thanks for the input!!

Oh, how cool is that! What a great place to work!

Thanks!!! 🙏🏻 I definitely feel blessed.

Absolutely. Especially in a gusty crosswind you have to land with a little extra speed without the tail low and straighten it out before you touch down without a lot of bank.

Still ground adjustable. I’ve been happy with it.

It all depends upon the wind. If the winds are really high, we have to pull the power back to save fuel. If the winds are light, we can do it in 4 1/2 hours. If the winds are strong, I’ve taken as long as 5.7 hours. Regardless, we fly at slower cruise speeds to ensure that we have plenty of fuel when we get there.

@@johnkluenker Thank you so much for the information! My goal is to fly on Citation X to Hawaii!

@dchoi7737 You’re welcome!

You’re welcome! Thanks for coming along on the journey!

You might be able to get a field approval, but I don’t believe there is an STC for the modifications I did. Benefit of experimental!

@@johnkluenker Ok, thank you

Yes you’re in Oakland Oceanic airspace, but the ARINC radio operator that you are speaking to on the HF is “San Francisco Radio”. They pass on your requests and reports.

Love it! Enjoy the airplane! 🛩️ 💨

Wow, that is so great! Congratulations on getting going flying the X! So glad that my videos could help you out a bit. I really appreciate the message. Let’s keep in touch!

@@johnkluenker Appreciate it sir, been an adjustment going from 1200 hours in 172s and Pipers straight to this machine but enjoying it. Swear I heard a callsign with Foreflight on my rotation, it was a lady speaking. Mustve been going into Jackson Hole or leaving, can’t remember about 2 weeks ago.

@William0204 nice! Yes, the X can be a bit of a handful, especially if it’s your first jet. Good on you to be handling it though!

@@johnkluenker Thank you, hope to run into you at an FBO in the future 🫡

@William0204 absolutely! Please say hello if you do

The previous pilot I flew with for 13 years and he was right around 6 foot four. It’s a squeeze, but it can be done. That being said, the more I fly airplanes the happier I am that I’m on the shorter side!

You of course, are entitled to hiring whichever pilots you want. Not offended that you wouldn’t want to hire me. Obviously our personalities would not have meshed well. I would rather have two pilots upfront that enjoy what they do and are excited about it. I don’t see a problem with that. This was our first crossing in three years and Mark’s first time flying across the pond so we figured it was a good idea to document it if anything for our own review and training purposes. The boss does not mind if we set up cameras before hand. It’s a simple push the record button. Not a big deal. We are a small Part 91 flight department. I hope you enjoy what you do!

😂

Haha! Fortunately that’s not the procedure to start the jet. That’s just to clear the random access memory from the FMS boxes to make them run more efficiently with less bugs. Old computers in a Citation X!

Thanks! It just means we don’t fly it enough I guess! 😆

Somewhat. Old computers in the Citation X! This procedure clears the memory to enable the FMS’s to function more efficiently with fewer “bugs”. It is not a common procedure, so I figured I would post it since I can rarely remember where to find it myself!

@@johnkluenker Many Thanks 🙏

@@frankb518 Found great support video from Cessna about this procedure in UA-cam. This is procedure to reset FMS Random Access Memory to avoid some bugs with clock, incorrect display behavior, prevent errors after NavData base update.

@TheThinkXtra Nailed it! 🔨

@@johnkluenker Thank You John. Appreciate the feed Back!

@@TheThinkXtra Thanks Again John! Maybe with some "Xtra" Time this weekend I'll check that out.........

It’s a requirement to wear it above 41,000 feet. I wear it but periodically pull it down due to the fatigue that it causes. I figured I might as well pull it down for the speaking parts but having it around the neck keeps it at the ready.

Thank you! Believe it or not, a Cessna 172 recently made the crossing. Single pilot and many extra gallons of fuel in tanks in the cabin. Yikes!!
