If we get large climb rates at takeoff that we don’t want, we sometimes may use vs mode. This works well with auto throttle, as it will adjust throttle for speed instead of pitch. You can set shallower climb rates.
Yeah I was thinking about using VS, but I wanted to see how the plane behaves in "all-auto" mode, also because it's easiest for new users. The climb rates during previous flights were less excessive, so I was a bit surprised ;) Cheers
Great video, thanks, I have a query - the Cessna Citation Longitude features three rotary knobs (rotaries) underneath the central Garmin Touchscreen Controllers (GTCs) which are essential for various flight operations. As of the latest updates, there isn't direct keyboard shortcut functionality specifically for the rotary knobs on the GTCs. However, you can use various other methods and tools to streamline your interactions with these controls.
I'm glad that you like the vid :) Yes indeed, the current version of the plane comes with simBrief integration and all the other features shown, no extra download needed. Cheers
Thanks for the video upload. The Cessna is my plane of choice, but I haven't touched MSFS for a year... Time to go back. Is there any new software for the Cessna?
The Longitude is definitely an amazing plane in MSFS (and irl). I'm sure it received some updates over the last year, maybe even the AAU1? Don't know now when that released. Indeed, time to jump back into the sim and check it out :) Thanks for watching!
HiSir, can I ask you a question: some of the feautures on FMC for the longitude does not appear, like the simbrief integration, navigrhaph or others: as far I know, there is not need for the MOD anymore right ( working title ) ?? Do I have to install the G5000 from Navigraph ? Tks for your answer
Hi there! Indeed there's no need for the WT mod anymore. I'm sure by now it will harm the systems in some way. For the simBrief and Navigraph functions you will need the Navigraph "enhanced" G5000 that you can download via the Navigraph Hub. Cheers
Sorry for the late response. For the cruise altitude I did use the one suggested and calculated by simBrief. As usual with biz-jets, as soon as the route is long enough (around 150 nm I think), it will let you cruise above FL400 ;) Thanks for watching!
I love your clear dignified tutorial. Question 1: I watched you climbing in FLC mode at vertical speeds of 5000-7000fpm, whereas the maximal allowed vertica speed of the real Longitude is less than 5000fpm. Is it a bug of the simulator, or do I miss something ? It looks to me that realistic VSs can only be maintained in deploying a VS mode.
@@SimulationChannelDeluxe Thank you for admitting that such a climb is excessive, but if you watch carefully you will find such a rocketlike climb in almost any climb when deploying simple FLC or any VNAV sequence of climbs. If we actually have to use restraining VS most of the time, it means we do not have an automatic climb VNAV in this simulated Longitude.
@@גדבן-חורין Yeah that's why I didn't want to use VS. Biz jets are usually way too powerful and light, so those crazy climbs are pretty much normal I suppose ;)
Even if we disagree at this point (Textron specifications for maximal VS vary between 4300 and 4900 fpm) I am grateful & loved every minute in your tutorial. I may ask you more questions in the future for some parameters and tools for the MFD which I could not find in my Longitude. @@SimulationChannelDeluxe
I love your clear dignified tutorial. Question 2: You have mentioned Reverse-Idle after landing. Could you be kind and describe how we deploy reverse braking both in the real Longitude throttles and also in our own Throttle Quadrant in the MSFS2020 (mine is a Honeycomb Betta Quadrant).
I'm using a Thrustmaster T16000M and I have a button mapped to toggle the thrust reversers. It's fittingly called "Toggle Reverse Thrust" or similar. That way you can manually set the thrust as desired. There's also a button command to engage and hold reversers at 100%.
Dear Sebastian. I am Gadi. Let us assume that we recognise the 7 controls options found in the msfs2020. I would like to assign them not to just any button. I would like to deploy my thrust levers with my hands just like a real pilot does for reverse brake after landing. I will quote several lines from PILOT REPORT: CESSNA CITATION LONGITUDE: " I lifted the thrust reverser levers to the reverse position and slid both throttles to full reverse. .... The FADEC automatically began to reduce the amount of reverse thrust at 85 knots, ending at 45 knots. This allowed me to keep the levers at full reverse, not having to worry about any engine or aerodinamic limitations while maximizing the stopping force. " He describes an automatic reverse process which Idon't expect in the simulator. Yet, I would like to immitate the lever handle movements that initiate and end a real aircraft reverse braking process.
@@גדבן-חורין Well I guess your throttle quadrant also uses some kind of "click spots" along the throttle range to initiate reverse thrust. Just assign the toggle reverse thrust command to that spot and it should work quite nicely.
I played FS 2020 when it came out. I love that plane but had so many issues with that. First, the distance I couldn't reach my destination from Frankfurt to Orlando because I always ran out of fuel. Second, I could get the required flight height. Are all the bugs fixed for that plane?
I didn't try such a long flight yet, but there are certainly no issues reaching cruise FLs above FL400. Maybe try out the most recent version of the plane again.
So it’s not possible to load passengers and fuel from the aircraft? Also, what’s the point using both FLC and VNAV together during the climb? Wouldn’t VNAV alone be sufficient?
Loading has to be performed via the default weight & balance tool unfortunately. And indeed climb is performed using FLC, but VNAV is already armed (in white on the PFD) for cruise and descent later on. Regards
Great video, can I ask where you got the checklist from?
Thanks! The checklist is included in the official aircraft manual that can be found here: www.flightsimulator.com/aircraft-manuals/
Thanks for the Informational Video. Cessna Citation Longitude is my Favorite for Regional Flights.
EXCELLENT Vid meine freund. :) Glad to see you making content again, you have been missed sir.
It's good to be back :) Thanks for still being on board mate, I hope all is good and enjoy your stay :)
...schön, dass du wieder fliegst . Es gibt immer was zu lernen bei dir....auch für alte Hasen.
Schön dich wieder mit an Bord zu haben :) Grüße
Really well explained, thank you very much. Climb speeds are crazy in the Longitude. I don't feel comfortable climbing at 5000fpm either.
I can't believe I didn't know that I have this airplane in my MSFS package lol, thank you. Gonna go fly it now!

Great tutorial video SCD. This really helped me. Thank you for sharing 😉✈
Very good, got inspiration to fly Longitude now :) I've been flying Learjet 35A lately + MD82/83/88 and CRJ
Yeah definitely give it a shot :) Thanks for watching!
Good morning. Where can we find updates for longitude to put imbriefs and maps in Garming. THANKS
Thanks Sebastian. That's a very clear video. Danke.
My pleasure :)
Great video Hans, congrats, could You tell which atc are You using ? What is this app ?
Thanks! The ATC app is called FSHud. Oh and my name is Sebastian btw ;) Regards

Amazing video, thanks. Does Longitude come by default with SimBref import option or are u using some addon or mod for all the functions u showcased?

That's awesome :)
Awesome vid, I learned so much so quickly. Thanks so much

Hey, thanks for the video, very nice ! But can you explain me how I can see my Optimum altitude ? Thanks

Hi! Just out of curiosity, what ATC are you using? Default ATC and Simbrief FPLs don't usually agree with each other too much
The ATC software is called "FSHud". Cheers
Thank you for the knowledge!
Nicely done.

Yes the initial climb was excessive. Didn't happen to me before during the first few test flights. Better use VS mode in these cases.

The command for 100% reversers is actually just called "Decrease Throttle".

No need to tap brakes before gear up on jets. The brake system does it for you.
That's good to know, thanks
The sim brief option isn’t in the Xbox version. Do you know if this is coming with sim update 15?
Sorry but I don't know if they will update the Longitude...
Does this come with SID and STAR charts?
To see charts, you need a Navigraph subscription.
How do I add and activate Simplates on F-SIM aircraft Cessna Citation longitudinal aircraft. I have paid membership and valid
cannot open the doors ?
Nope, unfortunately not. Still a default aircraft after all :(
