Sweet.....I love this. The CJ4, the only bird I care for in MSFS-2020. And I am learning so So SO much from you in your detailed explanation of what you are doing / how to properly operate the CJ4 I think is modeled quite well in MSFS-2020 and getting better and better. Thanks Guy!
NICE JOB! Two things I saw where you separate the men from the boys. When they assigned FL430, they were garbled and your callsign wasn't clear. While we KNOW the assignment was for you, you went back and confirmed it. Second, instead of making a visual approach and 'flying the ILS,' you requested the ILS. Unfamiliar airport, high terrain, night landing.... Ryan, I'm proud and happy to see your professional attitude. I'd fly with you any time, any where, and bust minimums with you any day of the week!! (You passed MY route check)....
@@TheRunwayRyan Ryan, my Dad was a Marine Corps fighter pilot in WWII and Korea. He often said, and I lived by his words: "There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but you'll never find an Old, Bold pilot."
I enjoy the quality of your videos! Great, professional flying and solid audio and video make for an enjoyable watch. Always pleasure to ride along with you!
Hello to you as well! My daughter was just asking me who were the first people I took flying when I got my license. It was my Mom and Dad! I don't know who was more proud, them or me!
Haha that music is quite the topic of discussion! While I do like the music, it actually is an editing mistake and shouldn't be in the video. I originally had a Timelapse sequence that music was set to, but I decided I didn't like it so I took it out and the music remained. Oops!
Hey I messed up! I had music in this video about halfway through that many of you have commented on that was obviously out of place. It was an editing mistake, but I got it taken out. Hopefully you can enjoy the video now!
I have two questions for you. It’s often said that the Citation jets are very fast only behind some Lear jet models while others call the Citation the Slow-ration..? Number 2 can you use only nonpolarized sunglasses or only polarized to see the display screens. I was pretty young and my mother to me to downtown Memphis TN in a high rise building that the law firm she worked for had their offices in. I was promised a great show overlooking the Mississippi River at Springfest in May, I think the attorneys cut the air way back on the weekends. While waiting the was a brand new copy of some plane magazine with the Citation on the cover. No I didn’t steal it either. And the big show was a Marine Harrier jet came whistling up the river stopped did a few few 360° and some nose down turns. Pretty cool for any 8yr old to see. 1982. I believe. I did get the the jet 2 weeks later.
@@Marks-Law It depends on the model. The CJ3+ and below are what are referred to as the slow-tations. They are straight wing aircraft so their top speed isn't that great. The Cj3+ though is one of the best performing citations out there. The Cj4 has a slightly slept wing (7 degrees), so it is faster. In the jet world, most people consider a jet fast if it can cruise at Mach 0,80. The 3+ is 0.737 and the 4 is 0.,77. In regards to the polarized question, also depends on the model and avionics installed. The Cj4 has Proline 21, and you are correct the polarized sunglasses are not much good. I do however wear them still, and that's what I'm wearing in this video. I've found the Proline screens are still hard for me to see with regular sunglasses, so I just gave up and wear polarized. The Cj3+ has Garmin, and you can see it with any sunglasses.
I really like the paint scheme ! Which is something I always look for when looking at jets, then it's the flight decks. Cessna's Citation line is a very impressive line of planes. The flight decks whether it be a Collins or a Garmin is fine with me, but am also very impressed with Bombardier's new Vision flight deck system. Enjoyed the video and thanks for letting us ride along !
Not quite as good as the thumbnail photo! You do great work! Anyone looking for excellent arrival or departure photos in Bozeman check out 772_Aviation, link is in the description!
Nice video. You speak and teach like a friend of mine, Adam Williams--we were both business systems teachers traveling as commercial passengers domestically and abroad. I've been to Monroe once and Bozeman twice, went to Bozeman to teach for clients in Big Sky Montana and in West Yellowstone. I learned how to fly fixed wing two place light sport registered aircraft--limited to 1320# gross though some weighed in well under that, and also how to fly dual and single place trikes, the latter being the only aircraft to stay within FAR-103 rules while still being safe (I merited an aircraft's safety by its rate of climb and speed envelope between stall and VNE. I chose to rent, and not extend my career to training or get certified in controlled airspace, because I can understand English well but speak it slowly, and I did not speak fast enough I felt for ATC--I have an author's mind and the words come out spontaneously, lol. So no way could I become a CFI and my day job paid better than an airline pilot, though just barely, and while still working with my hands it was only because most public systems speakers use their hands, and also we set up our own equipment which can include a file server and up to 25 training stations. What I find in you and most who do so well teaching about flight, is your multitasking skills you use when you explain what you are doing and also work with ATC. Your professionalism is key--a laid back flow in your teaching, and of course you are always "flying the aircraft', something my fixed wing and trike CFI's drilled into me. The beauty of this site is it allows us inside the flight deck of a biz jet, in a real flight, something Microsoft's Flght Simulator 2020 does well for virtual pilots, though it does not extend the feel of flying in a 'live atmosphere' with variable winds and chop. 🏊♀🕊🦢🦤
Thank you very much! You are correct, multitasking is one of the key elements to being a successful pilot! The more complex the aircraft, the better at multitasking you need to be!
Hey Ryan, another great flight. Thanks for showing the addition of oil to that jet engine. I wonder how you know how much oil to add, does it tell you on an inside instrument or does it have some kind of dipstick?
A little hard to describe, but there is a sight glass on the side of the engine that you can see through another door. There are two lines on it, one that says add oil and one that says fill line or something similar that indicates too full. More importantly though, there are 4 bolts that hold the sight glass on. When adding oil, you fill to the third bolt. In a future video I’ll try to film it for you.
@@TheRunwayRyan It sounds like a smaller version of the glass monitoring tubes, used on steam locomotives to keep track of water levels in boilers. Thanks for the info.
Tell me about it! My main airplane is a Cj3+ - as big as you can go without being single point. I sure love when I get to fly the CJ4 or XL and have single point!
Always enjoy watching a professional make it look so easy. And did I hear someone meowing? 😆 Question on the PFD…everything on camera looks way too bright and I know that the human eye can see better in low light than the camera…are you able to dim the displays lower than what they appear to be in the video? I’m hoping to get back into night flying in the very near future and displays like that are new to me since the last time I flew at night. Wondering about outside visibility with extra light coming from the displays. Editing note: at @10:51 music comes in a bit too loud and then fades out at 11:16. Not sure what that was about. Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Yes, the displays can be dimmed. Thank you for pointing out the music issue, I had some other comments and was wondering what they meant. That music isn't supposed to be there, so I made a small editing error. Unfortunately at this point I can't take the video down and re-upload it without losing all of the views. I'll make it up to you on the next one!
As a non aviator, I like the instrument of CJ3 more than the CJ4, with it touch screen and how it display the information. Watching your video from Bali, Indonesia Safe flight Ryan
i was really getting into your breakdown, and then loud music totally below it away. I was trying to guess if you use to fly with premier 1driver in the services ?
I finally figured out what you mean! At 10:51, that music shouldn't be there. I originally had a Timelapse sequence that music was set to, but I decided I didn't like it so I took it out and the music remained. Oops!
@@jimsargent7288 I couldn't full edit it by taking the video down because I would lose all comments and views. I believe I got it cut out adequately using the RUclips editor though.
During the rudder bias checks, the indicate that the on side (left or right) pitot-static heats are not turned on, that way you won't take off with them off. It's based on the trust lever angle that gets exceeded doing the rudder bias checks.
Good call staying IFR. Sadly a few years ago a medivac pilot descended into the smaller mountains northwest of the airport with visual on the airport at night coming from Great Falls. All died. I did all of my career flying in the Midwest. I don't think I'd ever do a visual up here at night.
I've been flying since I was 16 (SEL) only but stopped about 20 years ago, and something I never gave much thought to because it wasn't a concern for me is how does the controller know what your service ceiling is when clearing you to climb to altitudes above FL400, I'm assuming the CJ4's SC is 45,000 and you went to FL430. Is this information in your FP you filed?
11:50 Say it’s an unfamiliar field and or mountainous at night and your SOP prohibits the Visual, might you just tell them straight away: “Unable Visual, request ILS/RNAV Rwy # please”? I suppose you could just request first then Unable their Unable if they deny you…
I think as long as you request the ILS, that's what they will give you. There may be a special circumstance if it is 100% clear and they ar every busy, otherwise they should give you your approach request if you are on an IFR flight plan.
Hey thanks for watching! I think you’re referring to when I lowered the landing gear and I said one dot above? If that’s the case, then yes the airplane is one dot below. I call “one dot above” referencing that the glide slope is one dot above me, and that is the trigger to lower the landing gear.
It was an editing mistake, I think I was able to fix it using the RUclips Editor. Couldn't take the whole video down because it would lose all comments and views.
Interesting battery voltage prior to hitting the start button. 😉 Judging from the after start amps you have a lead acid battery. Jealous, my mechanic insists on NiCad though I much prefer the lead acid. Funny thing though, we started with the original Li ion batts.
I'd love to try the CJ4 with the Lithium Ion. It is indeed lead acid. I just switched my CJ3+ from niCad to Lead Acid. Engine starts are now roughly 100 C cooler. Our niCads went downhill very quickly.
@@TheRunwayRyan we started with early serial numbers that had the Li-ion batteries. Cessna built the 4’s avionics around that 26.5V battery. It was great until we had a red BAT FAIL message within four months on one of them. Then the service center burned a customer’s up and POOF, no more lithium allowed. We were using lead acids but our maintenance much prefers Ni-cad. My observations between those two match your own. Besides upkeep the only upside I see with Ni-cads is they recover so quickly (like the lithiums) that there’s never a wait at the hold short line to get under the 20A limit.
boy I do dislike that. I had to wait about 10 minutes a couple days ago because it was low IFR and I definitely didn’t want to go without being under 20a. The new CJ4 Gen 3 has the lithium back so it will be nice

Your screens look very bright at night. Appears they could mess with night vision. Are they dimmable or they’re not as bright as it seems?
They are dimmable. The outside landscape isn't quite as dark as the cameras let on.

No, I'm just that good. In reality, it wasn't that good of a landing. At present, none of the CJ series has autoland.

It was an editing mistake, I think I was able to fix it using the RUclips Editor. Couldn't take the whole video down because it would lose all comments and views.
@@TheRunwayRyan no problem, good to hear!
Luckiest man alive
Definitely! Blessed far more than I deserve!
The clicking fingers at the beginning is really annoying. That's why I did not give the video a thumbs up.
Interesting battery voltage prior to hitting the start button. 😉 Judging from the after start amps you have a lead acid battery. Jealous, my mechanic insists on NiCad though I much prefer the lead acid. Funny thing though, we started with the original Li ion batts.
I'd love to try the CJ4 with the Lithium Ion. It is indeed lead acid. I just switched my CJ3+ from niCad to Lead Acid. Engine starts are now roughly 100 C cooler. Our niCads went downhill very quickly.
@@TheRunwayRyan we started with early serial numbers that had the Li-ion batteries. Cessna built the 4’s avionics around that 26.5V battery. It was great until we had a red BAT FAIL message within four months on one of them. Then the service center burned a customer’s up and POOF, no more lithium allowed.
We were using lead acids but our maintenance much prefers Ni-cad. My observations between those two match your own.
Besides upkeep the only upside I see with Ni-cads is they recover so quickly (like the lithiums) that there’s never a wait at the hold short line to get under the 20A limit.
boy I do dislike that. I had to wait about 10 minutes a couple days ago because it was low IFR and I definitely didn’t want to go without being under 20a. The new CJ4 Gen 3 has the lithium back so it will be nice
GREAT VIDEO, DONT SEE ALOT OF CJ4. BUT YOUR VOICE TOOK AWAY FROM IT HARD TO UNDERSTAND AT TIMES.
Well, I am from Arkansas. We aren't really known for being the most well-spoken people out there.
@@TheRunwayRyan not your accent, you were very horse like a sore throat, your vocal chords were traumatized. I want to watch your Vlog flying the CJ#1 you spoke about. Ur channel is probably the best Aviation based channel on Utube. Close ur plane doors tightly...LOL boston bill usaf Vietnam vet 68-74. Tnx Ryan
