This document provides a checklist and procedures for flying the Cessna Citation CJ4 aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator. It includes specifications, cockpit preparation steps before engine start and taxi, procedures for takeoff, climb, cruise, and descent/approach. Mod options in the flight management system are also outlined to set up features like linking to Navagraph charts and importing flight plans from SimBrief.

TAXI Light..................................................................ON → cruise speed max.305 KIAS or MACH 0.77 Pushback...........................................................AS REQ → check PERF → FUEL MGMT for Economy
TAXI CRUISE → release PARKING BRAKE Check and monitor the flightplan. Check STAR and → slowly advance THROTTLE APPROACH altitude contraints and compare to actual charts. Check RAD/NAV ILS frequency and compare with actual → keep speed ~ 20-30 Kts (Turns ~ 10 Kts) charts. Estimate your TOD based on your Cruise FL and compare to actual TOD. Descend should begin aprroximately BEFOR TAKEOFF / HOLDING POINT at a distance of 10 NM plus 3 NM per 1.000ft above destinations runway elevation. If ATC is not giving you Landing Lights...........................................................ON clearance to descent shortly (3-5 Minutes) after your TOD, Strobe Lights.............................................................ON then the STAR or APPROACH likely is broken.

ATC/TCAS (FMS TUN)........................................TA/RA Pitot/Static Heat 1&2.................................................ON DESCENT Ice-Protection....................................................AS REQ Autopilot...............................SET CLEARED ALTITUDE Again, due to a lot of wrong STAR altitudes in MS FS TO/GA Mode(Button under L FIRE ENG workaround)..........ACTIVATED database, you are advised to constantly check your altitude during descent and approach even if you were given ATC Clearance..................................................AS REQ clearance to descent at the TOD. For a standard 3° glidepath approach, make sure you are not significantly higher at a given point than the elevationof the destination plus a 1.000ft TAKEOFF – PROCEDURE per 3 NM to go. Example: If you have 21 NM to go, destination is at sea level and you are at an altitude of 12.000 → line up and brake ft, than you are way too high. you should be around 7.000 ft. → set THROTTLE to TAKEOFF → relase BRAKES FMS APPROACH SETUP
