Citation X performance

[cherry20's]

Been twice. Gone Mach .88 or .90 both times. That wasn't in the middle of winter though...

 

[AV8R N8]

Thats pretty good! No wet footprint at those speeds? Do you remember how many pax?

 

[cherry20's]

Not wet, had 4 on board... Think you need supplemental oxygen for anything above 5-6 pax. I'd have to look at the charts again.

The X is great because you can literally make fuel the higher you climb!

What is the initial climb rate of the X? In the 40's?

 

[Twotter76]

Initial is usually 3000-5000fpm depending on load, more if you are light. I can almost always get 800fpm or more in the 40s without getting behind the power curve.

Is that with or without the optional extended range O2 bottle?

 

[cherry20's]

Thats with both bottles in the nose...
