Juneau to Elmendorf IFR Uncut
Posted: Thu Apr 09, 2009 12:53 pmIt's been a long time since I've flown IFR so last Friday I set up a flight to fly to Elmendorf.
ATC has instructed me to fly straight out and climb to 12,000 feet. Off the runway, gear up, I pressed AP, ALT, and SPD (set at 250 knots). VS is set at 3000 fpm. I believe the correct setting is 2500. 3000 is for the S/P II version (S550). This Citation II is the C550 series.
So while it's climbing to altitude, I scroll around and watch it do it's thing.
No editing or slewing was involved.

And a nice plane too, don't see too many of those around here. 8-)
