Your just like my Dad in late 60's there in LIT. I got to fly with him as a kid... as he too was a P.P. His planes were Beech D18, Lockheed Lodestar and a Cessna 310. As I have told you before I fly a hanger over on that G650 and the Lears... Love your great vids as always !!

Things have certainly progressed since the days of DC-3s and Piper Apaches etc. I only hope redundancy prevents the loss of all those nice flying aids and it all going shit-shape.

@TheRunwayRyan

Жыл бұрын

It definitely does. The CJ4 actually has the most redundancy of the entire CJ series. Any one of the 4 screens can perform most of the functions in the event of a failure of the other 3. There are two standalone Air Data Computers (ADCs) as well as two standalone Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS). For power sources, there is the main battery, two engine driven generators, two AC alternators that can power essential systems using AC/DC converters in the event of a dual generator failure, and a standby flight instrument with its own separate battery source, ADC, and AHRS.

Another great, informative video. I would love to try approaches to minimums but it seems every time I have the opportunity to do so, there are no viable alternates I can file (this is currently the situation as I write this from Chicago). Do you have different alternate requirements in the CJ4 or did you have good alternates to use if needed?

@TheRunwayRyan

Ай бұрын

Yes, I am pretty serious about alternates. I have no issue going to minimums, but I want my alternate to be really good weather. Typically 1,000' or higher. That's just my personal strategy. The CJ4 carries some much fuel that I can have an alternate 500 mile away in a completely different weather zone.

Other Citations I have flown in the past have that same wing over temp caution message for the 160F temp sensor in the wing leading edge. Never saw that message in flight though. How do you like flying single pilot in the CJ4?

@TheRunwayRyan

Жыл бұрын

I like it a lot. It is more challenging than the Garmin equipped CJ's, but that could be because of my relative lack of experience with the Proline. I've got about 800 hours with the G3000/5000 system and about 150 with the Proline

That is the AOA (Angle of Attack) Indicator. When the landing gear is down it activates and shows us our real time Vref speed based on the actual current aerodynamics of the airplane. Extremely useful tool.

That's a hard one to answer. I currently fly about 450-500 hours a year. I would say around 150 hours was right on the edge of what I felt was too slow.
