FOR FLIGHT SIMULATION ONLY
PFPX aircraft performance file for the Cessna Citation Longitude;
All holding, climb, cruise and descent values are taken from the Cessna Longitude Flight Planning Guide.
This document is publicly available on Google;
You can check the PDF with a simple Google search using the terms “Longitude Flight Planning Guide filetype:PDF”;
Equipment, transponder and PBN codes may be incorrect;
Fuel consumption for APU, Taxi, Anti-Ice may be incorrect, values taken from tests within the MSFS2020 itself, using Asobo/WT Longitude for MSFS2020 without any modification or add on/mod;
All units were made using LB (you can use KG, gallons, etc., within PFPX, as the application converts the units automatically);
2024
Don't be surprised if an oceanic flight requires more fuel than the maximum of 14500LB,
The Longitude has a marketing range of 3500nm,
In reality, following real weather and using ICAO requirements, you can do less than 92-90% of that 3500 nm,
I planned a flight with TOW of 38226 LB and took 14476lb of EGLC to KJFK with KPHL as an alternate at FL430, PFPX planned the OFP with 24LB to spare.
That flight was 3084.5 nautical miles, almost 400 miles less than the range advertised in the marketing of 3500 nautical miles.
Don't fly expecting to make long-haul flights with plenty of fuel to spare, as you'll be more dependent on the weather on the route than anything else
(to be able to fly legally, following the legislation, obviously you can plan a flight without any extra fuel :-D, this profile
is only intended for flight simulation, obviously, you can do whatever you want, and this is based on the documentation I've been able to find,
if the reality is as Cessna advertises of 3500nm, at the moment I can't really know).
Once again, I state that the fuel consumption is based on a publicly available PDF,
If you have the “latest and most up-to-date revision of the performance tables, etc.”,
I don't want to know or have it, unless it's distributed free of charge to anyone, publicly available for everyone.
Climb profile for .76 and .80 Mach
Cruise profile for .82 and .80 Mach
Descent profile for 2000fpm (Around .80 mach at FL450-FL360)
INSTALLATION:
1 - Go to C:\Users\Public\Documents\PFPX Data\AircraftTypes and drop
the "Cessna Longitude 700.txt" file inside.
2 - Open PFPX and Click on the small aircraft icon on the
upper left of the application (Near the gray scale globe)
and select add new aircraft.
3 - Inside the Aircraft Editor Screen, select the type
