@Kenney757 By FCP I assume you are referring to the Collins CHP (Course Heading Panel). The current geometry of the Glareshield and Eyebrow does not permit relocation of the CHP to this location. The current design was inherited from the MU-300 (Diamond). We are looking into a number of new designs for the Eyebrow Firewall Cutoff/Fire Suppression pushbutton/indicators that would facilitate a different CHP's relocation to the eyebrow.
The 400XT, like its predecessor is a Part 25 Transport Catagory Aircraft. As such the FAA requires 2 pilots for all flight optrations. The aircraft is substantually larger than any VLJ
@eagleice2000 The switches you refer to as EFCs are actually Normal/Flight Idle and GDAL Test switches. The left switch is in Normal which automatically transitions the engine to Ground Idle with Weight on Wheels. The GDAL test switch is in the center OFF position. The 400XT is equipped with Williams FJ44-3AP engines. Engine control is via FADEC Engine COntrols which eliminate the need for Manual EFC switching.
@acscuiaba The Nextant 400XT is certificated under FAR Part 25. The Garmin G1000 and G3000 systems do not meet Part 25 standards and cannot be install in those aircraft. Garmin has announced the G5000 system which does meet Part 25 standards and will be installed in Cessna's future Citation Ten but will not be available for several years as a retrofit. The Collins Pro Line 21 does suport Synthetic Vision. This feature will be available as an option on the 400XT later this year.
@chris12321222 The 400XT, like the HBC Beechjet 400A that it is based on, is certificated under FAR Part 25 rules. All Part 25 aircraft require two pilots for operation in normal catagory.
@lsharpe69 The video was taken on the 1st flight ever on this aircraft. The weather at the time was good VFR but windy and there was a fair amount of turbulence on short final. If you look at the artificial horizon on the upper portion of the pilot's display you will notice that the aircraft was in fact in very stable flight. Because it was an experimental aircraft at the time no passengers were permitted on the aircraft but if there had been the ride would not have been unpleasant.
this thing is unbelievable...an increase I'm range from 1300 to 2000 nm with a 30% reduced operating cost...unheard of is an understatement...at least to me
@ddolla The 400XT is a remanufactured 400A. During the remanufacturing process Nextant upgrades the Collins Pro Line 4 avionics to Pro Line 21, replaces the Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5 engines with Williams FJ44-3AP, replaces all life limited components, complies with all ADs, Mandatory Service Bulletins, Chapter 5 A-D inspections, installs a new 400XT like interior, and repaints the aircraft... All for $3,900,000 including the underlying aircraft.
@CE510Driver We will have an aircraft both on static and in the convention center The Nextant booth is C13113. For a demonstration flight contact Jay Heubline at 216-797-8110. The 400XT performs slightly better than the CJ4. See our web site for price and performance comparisons.
@6:48: This 400XT is equipped with the "Nextant 400XT Choo-Choo Train" option. You won't find that on the Hawker 400XPr........ or, I guess it'll be the Beech Jet Hawker 400XPr...... or, whatever BeechCraft decides to call it...... if the ever get around to delivering it!!

That approach was sweet.

I am very interested in a comparison to the CJ2+. Will you have a demo available at NBAA for a demo flight?

Why do they start with engine EFC switches right on and left off? isnt that part of checklist?

This is less than Five Million dollars not over and your company is in Ohio is that right.
Refurbished Aircraft at a fraction of a cost to a new one
"Ready Ready Hack! Ignition, Boost Pump, N2, 8%, 'Idle' fuel flow, light off, N1, Oil Px, EFC, Starter dropout" Selector to off-standby boost pump. More relaxed on this start I suppose. haha
Does any one know what kind of headset that the pilot on the right is using?
Cheers.
How'bout some more 400XTi vids??
Single pilot? Is it a VLJ?

You won't find that on the Hawker 400XPr........ or, I guess it'll be the Beech Jet Hawker 400XPr...... or, whatever BeechCraft decides to call it...... if the ever get around to delivering it!!
Do you HAVE to have a co-pilot to fly this?
Nextant relies very little on HBC for 400XT Manufacturing. Their current financial status does not materially affect Nextant.
Not Reverse?
Clarity Aloft!
T-1 I see, haha!
