Learn to Simulate Fast and Powerful Aircraft
Aviation’s fastest and heaviest aircraft require special skills and knowledge. Jet procedures keep pilots busy from beginning to end. Make your jet simulations as realistic as possible by applying the same procedures real pilots routinely use.
Apply Instrument Flight Rules
Instrument flight rules (IFR) are required for almost all jet flights. Learn about requesting and receiving IFR clearances to taxi to runways and fly your jet. See where to find more information.
Start at Gate or Parking
Request and receive clearances and services.
- Clearance to fly IFR
- Clearance to taxi to the active
- Pushback
Taxi to the Active Runway
Learn basic taxiing procedures:
- Requesting pushback
- Taxiing at safe speeds
- Following airport signs to the active runway
- Deflecting flaps
- Setting heading bug for take-off.
Taking Off
Learn about take-off procedures used by jet pilots at every airport.
- Requesting and receiving clearance
- Taxiing onto runway
- Aligning centerline
- Advancing throttles
- Reading engine gauges
- Using V speeds
- Lifting off
- Retracting landing gear
Climbing Out
- Engaging autopilot and autothrottle
- Retracting flaps
- Changing heading
- Maintaining proper airspeed
- Changing vertical speed
- Resetting altimeter
Cruising
- Managing power settings
- Keeping safe airspeeds
- Changing to Mach
- Maintaining altitudes and headings
- Monitoring fuel usage
Descending
- Using autopilot to descend
- Applying best descent rate
- Maintaining safe and legal airspeed
- Changing from Mach
- Adjusting altimeter
Approaching
- Entering approach in FMC
- Using Nav function
- Or resetting the heading bug
- Following ILS and glide slope
- Preparing for landing
- Deflecting flaps
- Arming spoilers
Landing
- Crossing threshold
- Touching down
- Braking
- Taxiing to parking

Focus and Limits
This video focuses on real-world procedures applied to simulating jet flights in home simulators. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is used because it is popular. The Cessna CJ4 Citation is used because it is perfect for training. Principles and methods can be applied to other simulators and civilian jet aircraft.
The video does not explain everything real-world jet pilots do because not all aspects are reflected in home flight-sim programs.
- Flight management computer details
- V-Speed calculations for taking off and landing
- Flight-deck management
It does not fully explain the following aspects of jet simming that are covered in my other videos and books:
- Flight planning
- Flight preparation
- Instrument flight rules
- Starting engines
- Using air traffic control
- Relying on autopilot and autothrottle.
- Using official instrument charts
Advanced Skills
Simulating flight in fast and heavy aircraft is challenging. You will benefit from knowing how to fly an aircraft in the first place and how to read its instruments and use its controls. You need to rely solely on instruments without seeing visual references outside the aircraft. Using official aviation charts is extremely beneficial.
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed
As a professional management consultant, I trained people in workplaces for more than 30 years. I began publishing books about home flight simulation in 1997 and videos in 2010. As a professional and experienced trainer, I invest a lot of effort and time toward making quality products that are useful to people.
