Thanks for watching it! I am glad you liked it. I am going to try to add more operating tips when I can like I did at the end of this video. That kind of info is very useful and makes the simulator even more enjoyable.
This is a stand out video - terse, precise and no-nonsense. You really know your stuff. Better than any other aircraft detail explanation I have seen for years. Congratulations!
Thank you. The engine start procedure can be done differently than in the video. Recently, a video on my channel was published showing how to start the engines in the CJ4 which is the way CJ4s are started in the real-world - ruclips.net/video/kqOhwfQVYqk/видео.html The rest of the information remains the same. Glad you enjoyed it. If you are interested in the Longitude at all, there is a 4-part (and maybe more parts in the future) series on how to fly the airplane from engine start to landing and even flying a missed approach. The CJ4 is great but the Longitude is phenomenal in MSFS.
Very informative, thanks! As someone who can only fly a desk, a lot of my learning the CJ4 so far has just been button-pushing in the cockpit and figuring it out as I go - will certainly put all your tips into practice on my next flight.
You’re welcome and don’t feel bad, I still press the wrong buttons too. All the submenus help remove clutter and give the cockpit a cleaner look but some tasks can take longer from navigating menus.
Thank you so much for the info! The working-title CJ4 has become my favorite aircraft so far in MSFS and having this knowledge just makes it that much better.
The CJ4 has become my favorite too once I downloaded the WTM. It was terrible before the WTM and having a near life-like functioning FMS is the best part.
Certainly. The Working Title version has a lot of functionality but is only on PC. There is a playlist of videos (around 12) for the Working Title CJ4 on my channel from VNAV to approaches to performance. Enjoy.
Thank you so much Tim. The best video for me right now after several weeks flying, studying and reviewing the CJ4. My questions were answered (how to set up the DA) and how to cycle through the FPL on the PFD. Awesome and lookigm forward to your next videos. Regards.
If you want to claim more jackpots here is the WT CJ4 playlist of all the videos I've created. Be sure to check out the video on VNAV and if you're curious about what the takeoff and landing numbers really mean there is a video on that too. ruclips.net/video/sPma7ZmTHXo/видео.html
Superb tutorial! - as always from you! :) If I havent flown this aircraft for a while, this is the Brush-Up i go to! Apreciate the way you go through and explain the systems a bit as well! Thanks, David, Sweden.
The video is a good starting point for anyone flying the CJ4 in MSFS as well as people like yourself looking for a refresher. If all else fails, just push buttons until it does what you want it to do.
I'm late to the party but just finished my computer build and flying MSFS on it. I'm on old Piper Lance PA32R pilot and this video has been an excellent resource for getting me into the left seat of the WT CJ4. Thanks so much. Just subscribed! Clear skies my friend.
Nice video. The 260kts at 8,000' is a good one. I wound up looking that up as well before and the answer lies in 25.571(e) (1) Impact with a 4-pound bird when the velocity of the airplane relative to the bird along the airplane's flight path is equal to Vc at sea level or 0.85Vc at 8,000 feet, whichever is more critical; 305kts x .85 = 260 kts for the CJ4.
I thought I was the only one that read part 25 for fun. I guess not. When you read part 25 all the numbers and components in the airplane start to make sense for being the way that they are.
I hope so too. The consensus is that it is helpful but I wish FS2020 systems could be more in depth. The Working Title Mod team have made this the best turbine powered airplane in FS2020. Feel free to share the video around.
Thank you. I wish FS2020 was more in depth because I would love to break down one system in just one video but do it for all systems in the airplane. Someday.
You are welcome. If the sim could be more detailed I would be too. There are limitations to the level of detail. I have since acquired all the training manuals and checklists for the CJ4 so if the airplane and sim get more in depth, I will follow suit.
This is really well done, I'm accumulating hours in the sim and gradually improving. I have a weekly breakfast with CJ4 instructors from Flight Safety that help fill in the gaps. The CAS page is not modeled in the sim and the CJ4 manual is mostly text and doesn't talk about that page. Do you have resources on this? I'm SUBSCRIBED! 🙂 thanks!
I do have manuals for the CJ4 that were used to make this video. The CAS page isn’t correct but my guess is everything takes time and it will eventually be accurate. Thank you for subscribing!
Thank you. I am working on another instructional video for the CJ4 with some tips and tricks for flying jets that will be very helpful. It will not be as long though. That video took about 20 hours to make but it has paid off so far.
Yes I did ... That helped ! Gotta like this thing ! I have never been able to get the VS on my Honeycomb Bravo to work without starting on the top panel in the cockpit, after selecting and turning the nose down the buttons and knobs seem to get a response on my Throttle Quad. However its the same process each time. I wish the cockpit Text was easier to read from ZOOM out position, seems all the cockpits (most) are blurry from any distance - but crystal clear zoomed. I mean its text right ? Maybe someone could allow for Gauge FONT control by the user. DCS you can manipulate with .LUA files (as I recall), I have done.
You are right about the text and it's really bad in VR when zoomed out. The CJ4 WT mod is a great add on to MSFS. It is by far one of the most functional MSFS airplanes in terms of FMS navigation and avionics.
Ahh, single que flight director or Gama Wedges! Gama wedges Are what you are referring to as the wedges “Gama Wedge ” single que meaning a single needle for guidance for pitch and lateral navigation. Wow what a great presentation for explaining the avionics to the sim world! You are doing and outstanding job of explaining all of the details! 😁 Can I get you to sign off my 8710 for a SIC? Type Rating? 🤣🛫
It's always nice getting your comments here. One thing I have learned in aviation is that everything has a name. When I did the part with the radar the cyan mark was seen moving to the right along the arc. I even tried finding the name for that. This video took about 20 hours to do. I've been wanting to make this one for about a month. Glad it is done!
@@thecorporatepilotdad You did and outstanding job explaining everything, I was especially glad to you explain fuel flow for speed control that is what I learned in Lear Jets and Falcons in the early 80’s it is great to see that this technique is still being taught. 😁🛫
Truly this MOD is a tremendous step toward to increased realization. All of the liveries offered in the application guide as “ready” for the mod are unfortunately no longer compatible under the latest MSFS2020 required update. Is there a path forward for others to enjoy this elegant MOD which is so perfectly outlined in this video.
Glad you liked it! There was so much more to cover. I didn't have a CJ4 manual when I made that video but I do have one coming very soon so maybe some additional videos will be on the way with the CJ4.
Looking for more tutorials for the Working Title CJ4 on topics such as programming the FMS, VNAV, takeoff and landing performance? Here is the full playlist so far: ruclips.net/video/sPma7ZmTHXo/видео.html
Have you ever seen the Nav Screens show "NO FLIGHT PLAN" even though it exists on the MCDU - and on the World Map ? Im trying to update the Working Title stuff - I have lost track how to do that ? In MSFS ? or .... Great Video btw.
The new plane looks great Cap'n! "This" is a study-level video that goes along with a study-level airplane. Great work, my Man! I may have some questions once I get back up in the plane later this week in the CJ4. I am having some discussions with another developer in regards to the CJ4-N1% gauge. I have to test whether it is reporting corrected or uncorrected percentages. It should be uncorrected...
Study Level? He said in the video many things are "INOP" and that he wishes they weren't. Chart button doesn't even work...but you could be referring to something else.
With the current state of MSFS, this seems like it is the best of the best of the best, "In This Sim". I know other sims do a better job. But they have been out a lot longer. Time will tell. :)
The chart button does not work but that is ok because not everyone uses it in real life even. One of the airplanes I fly has that button and we don't use it. It costs money to get the charts on the MFD (for the subscription) when most people use Ipads with the exact same info. But I get what you are saying. The video is in depth for what FS2020 is in its current state. I wish all the buttons worked because if they did, I would show what they all do. Even some of the buttons that work don't do anything such as the wing/engine anti-ice button.
@@thecorporatepilotdad ah, that explains a lot. Maybe when they do activate that charts button it can be set to pick up some Jeppesen charts that are part of my Navigraph subscription. I don't know that I would get that lucky. Thanks for the copious detail and of course for your videos.

Great tips. I'd not noticed the flood lights up top. Have you done a video about your personal flight planning preferences at all? Sadly LNM to MSFS to WT CJ4 doesn't work great. Especially for transitions/sids and stars. You can work around it once you know what to expect to go wrong and remove a few waypoints etc.
@@stovic1442 I do but also use Navigraph and SimBrief. Last I checked SimBrief was still free. Navigraph owns SimBrief and Navigraph has worldwide charts which are highly recommended. The approach plates they have are the same things we use in the airplanes I fly but WAYYY cheaper.
@@thecorporatepilotdad I've been trying to use Little NavMap as it's graphically really nice to see what different plans look like etc. It lets you use MSFS data only if you want which is plenty good enough and free for me. I'm playing with simbrief as you can load plans direct into CJ4 which is cool but I think what I'll settle on is LNM for the basic route, leaving SID/STARS and transitions until flight, plugging in to the FMS direct. Navigraph looks good but it's expensive for casual play and the charts I can get elsewhere. Thanks.
With the thrust levers. Move them to the appropriate fuel flow to get the given speed. I.e. 350 pph/side will give 200 knots indicated airspeed. I can’t remember the exact fuel flow rate and speed in the video.
Thank you so much for this video I am currently doing a flight from KBUF to KMKY cruise altitude is FL400 I want to know what fuel flow that will give me .770 Mach
There isn't a power setting to achieve Mach 0.77 because it is not always attainable at higher altitudes in level flight depending on temperature, weight, and altitude.
Thank you so much for the great video! Can I ask you if you can make a video on "how to perform the step climbs"? there isn't any video on YT abouth it!
Yes. I wrote it on my list. I might be able to throw that in a video along the way. Here is a step climb - simplified. Maintain a lower cruise altitude until you reach the TAS you want for cruise plus a few knots, then climb 2000 feet. Instead of going to 38,000 feet with a heavy airplane and having a slow TAS, go to 34,000 at the desired TAS and burn off fuel then climb to 36,000 and repeat then go to 38,000. That is a step climb.
@@thecorporatepilotdad I'm asking also if there is a right way to set the FMC to perform automatic step climb up. For example ROME-PRAGUE. Here in Italy if you fly north you fly FL300 but when you arrive in CROATIA, you have to climb to FL310 (for example asl FPL require). Can FMC reach automatic altitude? If yes, how we can do that? Thank a lot again!
I did a video a couple weeks ago on climbing in the B787 and step climbs are talked about. ruclips.net/video/zoDr_H2F2gY/видео.html If you go to the 6:45 mark I start talking about it there.
Buttons like TCAS and Yaw Damper. It would be nice to see what their status is, i.e., if they had a light or indication on the PFD etc. I've turned off the screen hints, so I can't point to the button and read turn on/off.
If the AP is on the YD is turned on automatically. When the AP is off you should see YD on the flight mode annunciator. If traffic is turned on you'll see the small white tick marks every 20 degrees or so on the inner ring of the navigation display on the MFD or PFD. I believe the white tick marks are always displayed in this mod whether traffic is on or off.
I have a question. When you make a flight do you just spawn at the Departure airport and "not select the Arrival airport? Load your intended Flight plan from SimBrief. Basically bypass FS flight planning?
Sometimes I select the destination but I usually just select the departure airport and type everything into the FMS manually. I do not have SimBrief. If I do a route I'll make my own or if I want to increase the level of realism, I will get official routes from a site I use in the real world with planned and cleared ATC routes.
I noticed the FMS in your video has different colors for legs of the flight plan. My MFS2020 is fully up to date but all information on the FMS is one color. I can see how this separates the plan info and wondered if that is a settable function on the MFS2020 CJ4. Thanks
I did a few videos on the CJ4 since the update. The systems and switches won’t change and the avionics are very similar. The WT team did the new CJ4, TBM, and Longitude.
when i am going to fly on VATSIM, i would set live weather within the sim. do i need to change everything in the MOD SETTING (page 2) to source VATSIM? thanks for the vid.
I do not use VatSim and but I did find the page you are referencing, and I would say put METAR and ATIS source on the service you are using if you want to get weather out of the FMS. And you are welcome for the video. I like doing these videos and hopefully get to do more with the PilotEdge service.
One area of confusion for me is using the Altitude knob, it only changes by 100. Is there a way to change by 1000, so you don't have to wait long to set say FL450?
No, unfortunately. If using a mouse with a scroll wheel, hold shift while moving the scroll wheel and altitude will change by 200 vs 100 foot increments.
This is great, thank you! Question: In the legs page of the FMS, it shows the waypoints, distance to/between set waypoint, and then 2 numbers separated by a /. The first one being altitude, but I can’t figure out what the first one means. Airspeed?
Yes to airspeed. Without auto throttle it doesn’t do a lot other than serve as a reminder. In the MFD MENU or MFD DISPLAY (can’t remember which) in the real airplane we can select speed, altitude, and missed approach and it will display each of the selected items on the MFD. It also shows degrees in the area of speed/altitude on the FMS which is the descent angle the VNAV is using to calculate TOD from the next restriction. That angle can be changed in the real FMS 3000 but I don’t think the WTM allows the angle to be changed yet.
I've never understood why with these inoperative buttons (such as the oxy ones), why they don't just make them operative without them doing anything so you can at least move them to drop masks in an emergency. It doesn't really matter if nothing happens)
FMS Question....KOPL-KTPA Bridge8 Arrival. Do I load the rnwy prior to arrival or wait until ATC advises what they are landing? It seams buggy if I try and change it if, for example I loaded the 19L ILS and now they are landing North. Also, can you scrap an approach and reload in flight? Thank you for all your effort in helping us out! KM
On some arrivals you need to have a runway to get the full arrival it is runway dependant. The FMS will know so you don't have to do the runway or the arrival first. Many times in real life we'll load the arrival and them select the runway once we get the runway assignment from approach control.
I have just a portion of these features working ex. Menu selection press, doesn’t work. I believe I have v12. I can fly the A/C, but many items ng? Btw, pc is 90% top of the line NZXT. Win11
I do not believe upper and lower menu buttons work when using the button labelled as such. The CCP (cursor control panel) menu button has upper and lower menu on it. Outside of that, most of it works with the exception of a few items inside the menus which are MSFS limitations, or those items aren't integrated yet. If you are on Discord, check out the Working Title server. If there is a problem, they will know about it.
is there a before/after write-up as to all the things the working-title changes/adds? The reason I'm asking, I'm wanting to make sure it would be worth using the mod because I'm planning on setting all the LVARs up with Spad.Next and it's a lot of work (or a fair amount) and if the benefits don't outweigh the Asobo default, I might sit it out.
@@thecorporatepilotdad PEFECT, good enough!!! This will help me tremendously , thanks for getting back to me , I'm hoping that someone has already come up with a profile for WT CJ4 in SPAD that involved the Alpha, the Bravo, and the 3 Virpirl products which I so dearly love.
They timed it right. Most of these business jets provide a minimum of 10 minutes of battery power with all avionics running and 30 minutes with emergency bus items only.
Yes. If you go to the videos page on the channel there is a video that does the FMS setup. Or do you mean downloading the flight plan automatically from SimBrief? If it’s the latter, I do not.
Do you mean the AoA or Angle of Attack Indexer? That is detailed in an earlier video here at the 15 minute mark: ruclips.net/video/sPma7ZmTHXo/видео.html
@@ottoversetv yes. You can. I'm actually showing this in a video I'm doing in a few days. Until then, on the FMS select the fix you want to hold at (it will go down to the scratch pad) then IDX->HOLD->NEW HOLD-> just above the scratch pad where the fix is you selected you'll see 4-5 little squares on the left -> press the button beside the squares then you can input the hold on the next page. Select the radial, leg distance or time and left or right turns. I'm doing this from memory. Sorry if that is confusing. I'll have a video with tips and tricks and drawing a hold will be in it as part of a tip.
There is no way to change RAT to SAT. RAT is what the airplane skin feels. If RAT is above zero, but SAT is below zero, ice should not form. Given the two choices on temperature readings, RAT would be more useful.
I'm not sure. Proline systems are in many different airplane types. Another airplane I fly has the ProLine 4 with FMS 6100 but they're all very similar.
@@thecorporatepilotdad if you look at Premier One Driver video ruclips.net/video/vO4ZIf_pb3s/видео.html and go to 14:36 in that video. Could you let me know if that's the exact same, it looks almost identical, but it might not be. Thanks for the trouble. I think I can learn multiple planes by watching your video.
@@dabneyoffermein595 I do believe that's the Proline 21. That one has the buttons on the side of the PFD to select radar, refs, Nav Src, etc. I flew an airplane in the past with that style and I prefer it over what is in the CJ4. Both operate the same but the buttons pressed to get to the same pages is a little easier on the style with the buttons. That's my opinion.
@@thecorporatepilotdad At 21:27 he say's EXACTLY what you just stated, that it's a Collin's Proline 21 , you nailed it, I would have never known. Now I'll know the difference when flying various different models. Thank You.
With FADEC active during the start sequence, do you need to wait for 20% N2 or can you press RUN before 20% since FADEC is handling the engine and fuel flow?
20% N2 then press run. Not all FADECs have the same functions. In FS2020 it will start either way. As far as I know in real life it's 20% N2 then press run.
@@thecorporatepilotdad In the CJ4, you press RUN without delay. Pressing RUN turns on FADEC and then it decides when to light off but it's always gonna happen at 12% N2 from what I've seen.
@@K20017 I wish I had a manual before making this video but they are hard to get. I'm still trying to get one. In talking to my mechanic friend I was surprised when he told me about the start procedure. In the XLS+ we can take the throttle out of cutoff and press then press start. I'm also curious about the hyd shutoff buttons. When you press the fuel switch light does that not shut off hydraulics and fuel or is the hydraulic button for other situations?
@@thecorporatepilotdad Fuel switch light? Not sure what you mean there. The Hyd shutoff buttons actuave the firewall shutoff valve which would isolate the engine driven pumps from the rest of the system. I think the only reason you would ever use it for would be an overpressure situation and in-flight windmill engine restart.
@@rixxy9204 Glad you got it working. The CJ4 is the best of the "default" aircraft. The Working Title mod and the FMS in the mod makes it a fantastic aircraft. A lot can be done with the FMS. There are quite a few videos covering the CJ4 and the FMS in it on the channel. Here is the CJ4 play list with all those videos - ruclips.net/video/sPma7ZmTHXo/видео.html
There have been reports of Canadian geese at much higher altitudes than 8000 feet. But you're right. That's not a hard and fast altitude but generally, birds don't fly above 8000 feet and that was the explanation I was given by the engineer at Cessna.
Section 25.571 considers the rest of the airframe and requires the airplane be capable of continued safe flight after impact with a four-pound bird at VC at sea level, and .85 VC at 8000 feet. This regulation was introduced at Amendment 25-45 (effective December 1, 1978) with some changes in the speed definition since then. A speed criterion is provided at 8000 feet to ensure adequate bird strike resistance capability up to that altitude.
Ok as a new pilot im confused...can someone explain why everyone is saying the working title mod? I assume this isnt the same one thats in the game cause during this and another tutorial i watched there is access to the checklist through the Nav display and when I press it it says inoperative. How much of this still applies to the one in the game or where can i find this mod? Thank you!
The newest default version of the CJ4 is the updated CJ4 that was the Working Title mod. The information in the video is mostly the same as it is made with a CJ4 manual and the avionics and switches have not changed.

Those tips do make things a lot easier. I am planning a video in the near future with little tricks like those that I've picked up over the years.
The fuel flow trick is great, it's helped me a lot managing speed.
Me too. The guy that hired me taught me that in my first month of flying jets.

(1) Impact with a 4-pound bird when the velocity of the airplane relative to the bird along the airplane's flight path is equal to Vc at sea level or 0.85Vc at 8,000 feet, whichever is more critical;

Thank you. I am working on another instructional video for the CJ4 with some tips and tricks for flying jets that will be very helpful. It will not be as long though. That video took about 20 hours to make but it has paid off so far.
@@thecorporatepilotdad Nice! Sounds good! That helps a lot! ;-)
excellent thanks
Your are welcome.
Yes I did ... That helped ! Gotta like this thing !
I have never been able to get the VS on my Honeycomb Bravo to work without starting on the top panel in the cockpit, after selecting and turning the nose down the buttons and knobs seem to get a response on my Throttle Quad. However its the same process each time. I wish the cockpit Text was easier to read from ZOOM out position, seems all the cockpits (most) are blurry from any distance - but crystal clear zoomed. I mean its text right ?
Maybe someone could allow for Gauge FONT control by the user. DCS you can manipulate with .LUA files (as I recall), I have done.
You are right about the text and it's really bad in VR when zoomed out. The CJ4 WT mod is a great add on to MSFS. It is by far one of the most functional MSFS airplanes in terms of FMS navigation and avionics.
Ahh, single que flight director or Gama Wedges! Gama wedges Are what you are referring to as the wedges “Gama Wedge ” single que meaning a single needle for guidance for pitch and lateral navigation.
Wow what a great presentation for explaining the avionics to the sim world!
You are doing and outstanding job of explaining all of the details! 😁
Can I get you to sign off my 8710 for a SIC? Type Rating? 🤣🛫
It's always nice getting your comments here. One thing I have learned in aviation is that everything has a name. When I did the part with the radar the cyan mark was seen moving to the right along the arc. I even tried finding the name for that. This video took about 20 hours to do. I've been wanting to make this one for about a month. Glad it is done!
@@thecorporatepilotdad You did and outstanding job explaining everything, I was especially glad to you explain fuel flow for speed control that is what I learned in Lear Jets and Falcons in the early 80’s it is great to see that this technique is still being taught. 😁🛫
YEEESSS!!!!! Thank you kind Sir.
Glad you like it. Feel free to share it around. I've been wanting to do this video for a couple months.
Great video!
Truly this MOD is a tremendous step toward to increased realization. All of the liveries offered in the application guide as “ready” for the mod are unfortunately no longer compatible under the latest MSFS2020 required update. Is there a path forward for others to enjoy this elegant MOD which is so perfectly outlined in this video.
Wonderful video. Thanks for the effort!
Glad you liked it! There was so much more to cover. I didn't have a CJ4 manual when I made that video but I do have one coming very soon so maybe some additional videos will be on the way with the CJ4.
Looking for more tutorials for the Working Title CJ4 on topics such as programming the FMS, VNAV, takeoff and landing performance? Here is the full playlist so far: ruclips.net/video/sPma7ZmTHXo/видео.html
Have you ever seen the Nav Screens show "NO FLIGHT PLAN" even though it exists on the MCDU - and on the World Map ?
Im trying to update the Working Title stuff - I have lost track how to do that ? In MSFS ? or ....
Great Video btw.
Go to WorkingTitle.aero and download their current file for the CJ4 and place it in the community folder.
The new plane looks great Cap'n! "This" is a study-level video that goes along with a study-level airplane. Great work, my Man!
I may have some questions once I get back up in the plane later this week in the CJ4.
I am having some discussions with another developer in regards to the CJ4-N1% gauge. I have to test whether it is reporting corrected or uncorrected percentages. It should be uncorrected...
Study Level? He said in the video many things are "INOP" and that he wishes they weren't. Chart button doesn't even work...but you could be referring to something else.
With the current state of MSFS, this seems like it is the best of the best of the best, "In This Sim". I know other sims do a better job. But they have been out a lot longer. Time will tell. :)
The chart button does not work but that is ok because not everyone uses it in real life even. One of the airplanes I fly has that button and we don't use it. It costs money to get the charts on the MFD (for the subscription) when most people use Ipads with the exact same info. But I get what you are saying. The video is in depth for what FS2020 is in its current state. I wish all the buttons worked because if they did, I would show what they all do. Even some of the buttons that work don't do anything such as the wing/engine anti-ice button.
@@thecorporatepilotdad ah, that explains a lot. Maybe when they do activate that charts button it can be set to pick up some Jeppesen charts that are part of my Navigraph subscription. I don't know that I would get that lucky. Thanks for the copious detail and of course for your videos.
@@dabneyoffermein595 that would be awesome but I just use the charts in my iPad and that combined with ship position I'm good with it.
Thanks muchos!
You are welcome. The CJ4 WT is one of the best airplanes on MSFS.
Please check out my new Learn To Fly Here series, please share it with other flight simulator enthusiasts or those who are interested in learning to fly and want to learn aviation basics on a deeper level. If you are new to the channel, there are over 100 videos like this one here: ruclips.net/channel/UCOTbYtdmGZfqxq0D0lsrYeQvideos
Great tips. I'd not noticed the flood lights up top. Have you done a video about your personal flight planning preferences at all? Sadly LNM to MSFS to WT CJ4 doesn't work great. Especially for transitions/sids and stars. You can work around it once you know what to expect to go wrong and remove a few waypoints etc.
Found it ruclips.net/video/xLp79Vz6DKI/видео.html :-) Looks like you have real world planning software and then enter it manually in the FMS.
@@stovic1442 I do but also use Navigraph and SimBrief. Last I checked SimBrief was still free. Navigraph owns SimBrief and Navigraph has worldwide charts which are highly recommended. The approach plates they have are the same things we use in the airplanes I fly but WAYYY cheaper.
@@thecorporatepilotdad I've been trying to use Little NavMap as it's graphically really nice to see what different plans look like etc. It lets you use MSFS data only if you want which is plenty good enough and free for me. I'm playing with simbrief as you can load plans direct into CJ4 which is cool but I think what I'll settle on is LNM for the basic route, leaving SID/STARS and transitions until flight, plugging in to the FMS direct. Navigraph looks good but it's expensive for casual play and the charts I can get elsewhere. Thanks.
Excellent video, but maybe I missed something about the fuel flow trick. How do you adjust the fuel flow?
With the thrust levers. Move them to the appropriate fuel flow to get the given speed. I.e. 350 pph/side will give 200 knots indicated airspeed. I can’t remember the exact fuel flow rate and speed in the video.
@@thecorporatepilotdad Oh ok, that makes sense. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this video I am currently doing a flight from KBUF to KMKY cruise altitude is FL400 I want to know what fuel flow that will give me .770 Mach
There isn't a power setting to achieve Mach 0.77 because it is not always attainable at higher altitudes in level flight depending on temperature, weight, and altitude.
Thank you so much for the great video! Can I ask you if you can make a video on "how to perform the step climbs"? there isn't any video on YT abouth it!
Yes. I wrote it on my list. I might be able to throw that in a video along the way. Here is a step climb - simplified. Maintain a lower cruise altitude until you reach the TAS you want for cruise plus a few knots, then climb 2000 feet. Instead of going to 38,000 feet with a heavy airplane and having a slow TAS, go to 34,000 at the desired TAS and burn off fuel then climb to 36,000 and repeat then go to 38,000. That is a step climb.
@@thecorporatepilotdad I'm asking also if there is a right way to set the FMC to perform automatic step climb up. For example ROME-PRAGUE. Here in Italy if you fly north you fly FL300 but when you arrive in CROATIA, you have to climb to FL310 (for example asl FPL require). Can FMC reach automatic altitude? If yes, how we can do that? Thank a lot again!
I did a video a couple weeks ago on climbing in the B787 and step climbs are talked about. ruclips.net/video/zoDr_H2F2gY/видео.html If you go to the 6:45 mark I start talking about it there.
@@thecorporatepilotdad thanks. Can FMC do a stepclimb by itself or not?
@@tarlot.9757 No. You have to climb the airplane using VS or FLC. The FMS won't do it for you.
Buttons like TCAS and Yaw Damper. It would be nice to see what their status is, i.e., if they had a light or indication on the PFD etc. I've turned off the screen hints, so I can't point to the button and read turn on/off.
If the AP is on the YD is turned on automatically. When the AP is off you should see YD on the flight mode annunciator. If traffic is turned on you'll see the small white tick marks every 20 degrees or so on the inner ring of the navigation display on the MFD or PFD. I believe the white tick marks are always displayed in this mod whether traffic is on or off.
Always crazy hearing people pronounce terre haute correctly
I’ve been there many times and grew up in that area.
I have a question. When you make a flight do you just spawn at the Departure airport and "not select the Arrival airport? Load your intended Flight plan from SimBrief. Basically bypass FS flight planning?
Sometimes I select the destination but I usually just select the departure airport and type everything into the FMS manually. I do not have SimBrief. If I do a route I'll make my own or if I want to increase the level of realism, I will get official routes from a site I use in the real world with planned and cleared ATC routes.
@@thecorporatepilotdad Thank you for the quick response. Great videos!
I noticed the FMS in your video has different colors for legs of the flight plan. My MFS2020 is fully up to date but all information on the FMS is one color. I can see how this separates the plan info and wondered if that is a settable function on the MFS2020 CJ4. Thanks
If on PC, download the Working Title CJ4 add on. You can get it at workingtitle.aero.
Where's the External Power Button?
I was wondering are you going to do a new series on the CJ4 due to WT not being in play with MSFS
I did a few videos on the CJ4 since the update. The systems and switches won’t change and the avionics are very similar. The WT team did the new CJ4, TBM, and Longitude.
when i am going to fly on VATSIM, i would set live weather within the sim. do i need to change everything in the MOD SETTING (page 2) to source VATSIM? thanks for the vid.
I do not use VatSim and but I did find the page you are referencing, and I would say put METAR and ATIS source on the service you are using if you want to get weather out of the FMS. And you are welcome for the video. I like doing these videos and hopefully get to do more with the PilotEdge service.
One area of confusion for me is using the Altitude knob, it only changes by 100. Is there a way to change by 1000, so you don't have to wait long to set say FL450?
No, unfortunately. If using a mouse with a scroll wheel, hold shift while moving the scroll wheel and altitude will change by 200 vs 100 foot increments.
This is great, thank you!
Question: In the legs page of the FMS, it shows the waypoints, distance to/between set waypoint, and then 2 numbers separated by a /. The first one being altitude, but I can’t figure out what the first one means. Airspeed?
Yes to airspeed. Without auto throttle it doesn’t do a lot other than serve as a reminder. In the MFD MENU or MFD DISPLAY (can’t remember which) in the real airplane we can select speed, altitude, and missed approach and it will display each of the selected items on the MFD.
It also shows degrees in the area of speed/altitude on the FMS which is the descent angle the VNAV is using to calculate TOD from the next restriction. That angle can be changed in the real FMS 3000 but I don’t think the WTM allows the angle to be changed yet.
I've never understood why with these inoperative buttons (such as the oxy ones), why they don't just make them operative without them doing anything so you can at least move them to drop masks in an emergency. It doesn't really matter if nothing happens)
Did you do the Exterior Skin yourself? If not who did it for you?
One of my subscribers made it for me.
FMS Question....KOPL-KTPA Bridge8 Arrival. Do I load the rnwy prior to arrival or wait until ATC advises what they are landing? It seams buggy if I try and change it if, for example I loaded the 19L ILS and now they are landing North. Also, can you scrap an approach and reload in flight? Thank you for all your effort in helping us out! KM
On some arrivals you need to have a runway to get the full arrival it is runway dependant. The FMS will know so you don't have to do the runway or the arrival first. Many times in real life we'll load the arrival and them select the runway once we get the runway assignment from approach control.
And yes you can just load a new approach and it should take the old one out.
@@thecorporatepilotdad Wonderful, I appreciate your response! Enjoy your day. KM
@@hpdkmay Sure. Let me know if it doesn't work. Feel free to ask questions if you have more.
I have just a portion of these features working ex. Menu selection press, doesn’t work. I believe I have v12. I can fly the A/C, but many items ng? Btw, pc is 90% top of the line NZXT. Win11
I do not believe upper and lower menu buttons work when using the button labelled as such. The CCP (cursor control panel) menu button has upper and lower menu on it. Outside of that, most of it works with the exception of a few items inside the menus which are MSFS limitations, or those items aren't integrated yet. If you are on Discord, check out the Working Title server. If there is a problem, they will know about it.
do you know how to set DA when you do ILS or LPV approaches?
Refs Menu - Go to the 7:45 mark and you’ll see it at the bottom of the window that comes up with RA and Baro. Select baro and dial in the DA.
is there a before/after write-up as to all the things the working-title changes/adds? The reason I'm asking, I'm wanting to make sure it would be worth using the mod because I'm planning on setting all the LVARs up with Spad.Next and it's a lot of work (or a fair amount) and if the benefits don't outweigh the Asobo default, I might sit it out.
The only thing I know of is the list of changes with each new update which can be found here: www.workingtitle.aero/packages/cj4/
@@thecorporatepilotdad PEFECT, good enough!!! This will help me tremendously , thanks for getting back to me , I'm hoping that someone has already come up with a profile for WT CJ4 in SPAD that involved the Alpha, the Bravo, and the 3 Virpirl products which I so dearly love.
Did I miss the section on the autopilot? I can't figure out how to get it to go to the specified altitude.
There is a video on AP operations. Set the altitude in the altitude selector then climb using FLC (airspeed hold) or VS.
Well now I realize why I lost power because I did not turn on the generators... 10 minutes later lol.
They timed it right. Most of these business jets provide a minimum of 10 minutes of battery power with all avionics running and 30 minutes with emergency bus items only.
Do you have video on adding a flt plan
Yes. If you go to the videos page on the channel there is a video that does the FMS setup. Or do you mean downloading the flight plan automatically from SimBrief? If it’s the latter, I do not.
@@thecorporatepilotdad
Ok tu
do you know how to change the radio chennels and tune them
On the FMS - The TUN button (bottom left) will take you to the tune page where the frequency can be entered.
What is the instrument with lights and arrows above the dashboard?
Do you mean the AoA or Angle of Attack Indexer? That is detailed in an earlier video here at the 15 minute mark: ruclips.net/video/sPma7ZmTHXo/видео.html
Quick question. Is there a hold option for waypoints?
Do you mean a holding pattern at a waypoint or to inhibit the FMS from proceeding after a waypoint?
@@thecorporatepilotdad To hold at a waypoint.
@@ottoversetv yes. You can. I'm actually showing this in a video I'm doing in a few days. Until then, on the FMS select the fix you want to hold at (it will go down to the scratch pad) then IDX->HOLD->NEW HOLD-> just above the scratch pad where the fix is you selected you'll see 4-5 little squares on the left -> press the button beside the squares then you can input the hold on the next page. Select the radial, leg distance or time and left or right turns. I'm doing this from memory. Sorry if that is confusing. I'll have a video with tips and tricks and drawing a hold will be in it as part of a tip.
@@thecorporatepilotdad You're awesome!
hi but does the FLC work well on this mod? What about altitude hold?
Yes they do.
No com review?
I have other CJ4 videos that cover Comms.
Are there an option to show other boards on radar?
Radar can be displayed on the multi-function display.
How to change RAT displayed to SAT ???
There is no way to change RAT to SAT. RAT is what the airplane skin feels. If RAT is above zero, but SAT is below zero, ice should not form. Given the two choices on temperature readings, RAT would be more useful.
@@thecorporatepilotdad I have seen videos with it displaying SAT on the bottom of the PFD
@@rawfpv IRL that field cannot be changed. Usually, the pilot’s side MFD will show RAT or SAT and the copilot’s MFD will show the other value.
@@thecorporatepilotdad thank you for your reply … the vid I was referring to is ruclips.net/video/XAkxaa_AkwU/видео.htmlsi=778z_4Bb4lmCmbqL
Learn how to use VNAV like a pro with this full length video: ruclips.net/video/Uu36df6145g/видео.html
Config to select Vbar or cross pointer flight director not an option on Xbox…what gives? :(
VBar is easier to use. That same avionics system is equipped in a Citation I fly in the real world and we all use V bars.
wow, the collins system is also in the Premier 1, correct?
I'm not sure. Proline systems are in many different airplane types. Another airplane I fly has the ProLine 4 with FMS 6100 but they're all very similar.
@@thecorporatepilotdad if you look at Premier One Driver video ruclips.net/video/vO4ZIf_pb3s/видео.html and go to 14:36 in that video. Could you let me know if that's the exact same, it looks almost identical, but it might not be. Thanks for the trouble. I think I can learn multiple planes by watching your video.
@@dabneyoffermein595 I do believe that's the Proline 21. That one has the buttons on the side of the PFD to select radar, refs, Nav Src, etc. I flew an airplane in the past with that style and I prefer it over what is in the CJ4. Both operate the same but the buttons pressed to get to the same pages is a little easier on the style with the buttons. That's my opinion.
@@thecorporatepilotdad At 21:27 he say's EXACTLY what you just stated, that it's a Collin's Proline 21 , you nailed it, I would have never known. Now I'll know the difference when flying various different models. Thank You.
@@dabneyoffermein595 I Google it after I last messaged you just to make sure and it's definitely the PL21 with FMS3000 in the P1a.
With FADEC active during the start sequence, do you need to wait for 20% N2 or can you press RUN before 20% since FADEC is handling the engine and fuel flow?
20% N2 then press run. Not all FADECs have the same functions. In FS2020 it will start either way. As far as I know in real life it's 20% N2 then press run.
@@thecorporatepilotdad In the CJ4, you press RUN without delay. Pressing RUN turns on FADEC and then it decides when to light off but it's always gonna happen at 12% N2 from what I've seen.
@@K20017 I wish I had a manual before making this video but they are hard to get. I'm still trying to get one. In talking to my mechanic friend I was surprised when he told me about the start procedure. In the XLS+ we can take the throttle out of cutoff and press then press start. I'm also curious about the hyd shutoff buttons. When you press the fuel switch light does that not shut off hydraulics and fuel or is the hydraulic button for other situations?
@@thecorporatepilotdad Fuel switch light? Not sure what you mean there. The Hyd shutoff buttons actuave the firewall shutoff valve which would isolate the engine driven pumps from the rest of the system. I think the only reason you would ever use it for would be an overpressure situation and in-flight windmill engine restart.
@@K20017 I meant fire switch light. It's possible autocorrect changed it and I didn't catch it.
RAT and UTC is not changing. Is this a bug?
It should work. Are you using the latest version of the mod? www.workingtitle.aero/packages/cj4/
@@thecorporatepilotdad yeah thats what I was missing.
@@rixxy9204 Glad you got it working. The CJ4 is the best of the "default" aircraft. The Working Title mod and the FMS in the mod makes it a fantastic aircraft. A lot can be done with the FMS. There are quite a few videos covering the CJ4 and the FMS in it on the channel. Here is the CJ4 play list with all those videos - ruclips.net/video/sPma7ZmTHXo/видео.html
I almost hit a bird while at 11,500, so I don’t quite agree with that magic 8,000 bench mark 🤔
There have been reports of Canadian geese at much higher altitudes than 8000 feet. But you're right. That's not a hard and fast altitude but generally, birds don't fly above 8000 feet and that was the explanation I was given by the engineer at Cessna.
Section 25.571 considers the rest of the airframe and requires the airplane be capable of continued safe flight after impact with a four-pound bird at VC at sea level, and .85 VC at 8000 feet. This regulation was introduced at Amendment 25-45 (effective December 1, 1978) with some changes in the speed definition since then. A speed criterion is provided at 8000 feet to ensure adequate bird strike resistance capability up to that altitude.
5 star *****
5 stars and 3 asterisks. That's even better!.
Most of these controls don’t work on Xbox at all.
Unfortunately that’s true. This is with the Working Title mod for PC and was made well before the XBOX release of MSFS.
Very unfortunate. I don’t have gaming PC. But do have next gen Xbox. Love the idea of the sim. But it’s virtually unplayable on console. Great vid tho
I wonder who disliked
Maybe someone that was hoping the video was drawn out in crayon? I really dislike dislikes. It’s not like the video can be changed.
Ye probably, thank you for replying to almost every comment seriously. It's really rare to see such a good youtuber!
@@yangw3049 you’re welcome. If people take the time to comment I try to take the time to answer. Especially if they have a question.
Ok as a new pilot im confused...can someone explain why everyone is saying the working title mod? I assume this isnt the same one thats in the game cause during this and another tutorial i watched there is access to the checklist through the Nav display and when I press it it says inoperative. How much of this still applies to the one in the game or where can i find this mod? Thank you!
The newest default version of the CJ4 is the updated CJ4 that was the Working Title mod. The information in the video is mostly the same as it is made with a CJ4 manual and the avionics and switches have not changed.
@@thecorporatepilotdad appreciate the response as always. ✈✈
Fantastic video !
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
