How to Fly the Longitude Part 1/4: APU and Engine Starting Tutorial | FMS Setup | MSFS 2020

#thecorporatepilotdad #longitude #msfs #tutorial #aviation

The Cessna Citation Longitude engine start and cockpit setup are followed by the APU start, a look at the electrical system and how the engines are actually started and why the APU is needed for engine starting.

The electrical system is briefly explained with some demonstrations of what is happening when the engine and APU generators are turned on.

Next, the route is programmed in the Garmin 5000 as well as how to compute takeoff V speeds (V1, Vr, V2, VFTO) and takeoff DISTANCE!

The "No Takeoff" CAS message that is part of the takeoff warning system is detailed along with the APR system which gives the engine a higher amount of rated thrust in the event of an engine failure.

The engines can sometimes get a "boost" of power with APR, which stands for Automatic Power Reserve. The APR system operation is covered as well as what APR does and how to arm the system.
