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

Free Extra Goodies

Several extras are included FREE to help you make the most of your Cessna Citation Longitude simulations:

An international flight-plan form helps you meet regulations when planning your Longitude flights.
A jet V-Speed card with commonly used V-speeds defines by speed on one side and alphabetically on the other.
A cruising-altitude diagram helps you select the correct altitudes for your flights.
A logically-organized list of MSFS keyboard shortcuts helps you simulate flights more easily.

Specifications

Common PDF format can be used by all home flight simmers.
The book is 152 pages from cover to cover.
The PDF file is 2.6 megabytes.
The ZIP archive file is 6.54 megabytes.

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.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

A lot of time and effort has been invested by me and others toward making a quality product that is useful to people. Any book with physical defects will be replaced at no cost. If you can show that the content of Jet Simming 21st Century: Cessna Citation Longitude is not as described, your money will be refunded.
