Auto Spoilers ... Verify Armed?

"Red switch, right next to the autopilot on both sides."

Thrust Reversers Stow?

 

LOL...maybe I'm wrong (sigh).  I had just assumed that that's what that switch was for and I've really ignored it.  Some interesting talk on PPrune.com about landing this bird.

Actually, I think I was right.  To arm when they're not deployed, I believe that you flip both switches up.  "Arm" should light up.  If you flip them up when they're deployed I think it does an Emergency Stow.

Engine thrust reversers (buckets) and wing spoilers spoilers.

 

Both are used on landing.

 

I had questioned "arming" the spoilers.

*Face palm*

 

Sorry.  First, yeah, I was wrong about the reversers.  When "Arm" is lit for the reversers that means they're off...I was landing at a very long runway and tested that.  As far as autospoilers, I don't *think* it has them.  You just deploy them after landing.  On Pprune the only thing I've seen is to get them out as quickly as possible after landing to keep it from wanting to lift off again.

Anyone know if there another e-mail address I could try?
 

Ok... where are you seeing auto spoilers in a checklist for the Citation X v2?

Ed,

Thanks for the reply.
I am not approved to post in the ES forum yet.

I found it in this checklist (screenshot):

That is not a checklist for the Citation X v2. Did you perhaps purchase the Citation X v1?

I purchased CitationX v2.

 

I forget where I got the checklist downloaded from .. maybe an Eaglesoft link .. I forget.

It does not mention a specific version .. just says it from/for  ES Cessna Citation X

 

But as far as checklists go, was there more than one checklist vor ES Citation?

 

I am new to the ES CitationX v2 ... so figured all checklists would be the same.

That is not a valid checklist. The correct checklist is exactly where one would expect to find it, on the kneeboard's checklist page.

"kneeboard's checklist page"

 

True, but I found this 2 page pdf checklist and liked it and used it.

 

But as far as checklists go, was there more than one checklist for ES Citations?

 

Did a previous ES CitationX have Auto Spoilers Arm?

The checklist you found is made by some flight sim enthusiast and doesn't have anything to do with the actual real checklist.

 

The real checklist is at least a 7 page PDF file... if you print out the HTML file that contains the Citation X v2 checklist it will print 7 pages. It is accurate, it is correct. It is the only checklist you should be using.

The kneeboard has a good checklist that you can print from a browser.

Ok,

Thanks for the information.

 

I liked the two page checklist  ... sure "looked" official.

 

I guess there is a CitationX somewhere actually has Auto Spoilers Arm.

 

Gregg,

Are you in the ES Forum?

If, so do I get an e-mail confirmation when my forum registration is activated?

Just wondering how it works?

Yeah, but it was so long ago, I don't remember anymore.
