Focus and Limits

Jet Simming 21st Century: Cessna Citation Longitude is based on real aviation principles and procedures so home flight-simulation enthusiasts can maximize their enjoyment. Specific data are appropriate and applicable for such use.

Basic flight methods, cross-country navigation, and instrument flight rules are described in my other manuals.

Microsoft Flight Simulator™ is used because it is popular. Aviation principles and methods can be applied to other aircraft in other simulators such as X-Plane, Flight Gear, and P3D.

Because some aspects of home flight-simulation games are not exactly like real-world aviation, some information in this book is not exactly like real-world flight. Use for real-world aviation is not appropriate or authorized.

Prerequisites

Just like the real-world, simulating jets is an advanced skill. Jet pilots know about basic flight, navigation, instrument flight rules, and electronic flight decks. You will benefit from skills explained in these books:

Flight-Sim Maneuvers 21st Century
Flight-Sim Navigation
Instrument Simming 21st Century

Use Your Time Productively

Spend more time simulating flights. Don’t lose valuable opportunities while searching the internet for flimsy freebies. Most are worth their cost. Ftldave says it best:

“YouTube is hit or miss. Sometimes there's great, informative content, other times the videos are useless and unintelligible. How much time do you want to spend searching for the former, how much time to waste with the latter? As is often said about open software, the same is true for this: It's free if your time has no value to you.”

Flight simmers have trusted, benefitted, and enjoyed my instructional books since 1997.
