— CONTINUE FLIGHT TO DESTINATION —
You can now jump to External Camera and do some sightseeing.
You will fly past New York City.
Then past Teterboro.
The Flight Plan will make the CJ4 make a left turn.
Watch this from External Camera.

For ATC Altitude commands to you:
Switch back to Cockpit view.
Just set the new Altitude with the Altitude knob (“ALT”) and click “VS” to turn.
Vertical Speed Mode On again.
Switch back to External view.
33 —.
You must maintain your speed. CJ4 does not. Remember, the Throttle is at Max.
Move your throttle back until the indicator on the PFD “Speed Tape” lines
up with a speed of 280 kts. 280 is displayed above the PFD “Speed Tape”.
Otherwise, you will overspeed and crash.
Continue your flight and watch your speed until you reach the AGNSS Waypoint.
34.Click “APPR” for Approach Mode when you pass the “AGNSS” Waypoint. (Look at MFD)
Look in the PFD for the vertical Diamond for the Glide Slope and the Horizontal
Diamond for lateral (left or right) of the Runway as the ILS System automatically
guides you to the runway.
Watch your speed. If the Glide Slope indicator (RED you are dead, Blue you’re OK) in the External view tells you that you are too fast,
deploy the “Spoilers” to slow down the CJ4. Kbd(num /) .
Don’t worry about them.
The APPR Mode will keep the CJ4 flying via the Glide Slope by changing the Throttle or Trim as needed aa the way to the runway.
APPR will automatically hold you to the required throttle, trim, flaps
and Waypoint Constraint altitudes to take you to the runway.
— LAND —
-
Click “AP” at 400 feet and over the runway to stop the Auto Pilot.
-
Cut throttle to 0. (Your Throttle may be at max or something but is being overridden by the APPR Mode. As soon as you turn off the AP, the Throttle setting will become active. Don’t want it when landding
Don’t touch anything. The CJ4 will land on the runway. If you touch the Flightstick and move it just a little, it will cause the CJ4 to loose its present downward pattern to the runway.
It will become uncontrollable and crash. Try it and see.
39.Flair (nose up slightly) to let CJ4 settle down on the runway.
- Apply “Brakes” to slow down (num del).
