Galaxy is right about Billy's Red Room. That place is truly an original! As far as the CJ, I don't have time in it but a coworker has some. He claims it was one of the easiest airplanes he has flown!
Have fun with it!

I've trained at FSI in ICT and at ProFlight at CRQ, both we excellent. CAE DFW for recurrent not so great. With the pilot shortage, I'm wondering if the same quality level of IP exists at those places?
ProLine is set up logically. Once you get the basics, it starts to make sense. FADECs are great, and the Williams engines are simple and reliable (at least from this operator's perspective).
The performance is impressive. Powerful engines, and at lighter weights it will press you back in the seat on T/O. As others have indicated, it will climb like mad and a low level off (1500 feet coming out of TEB comes to mind) will be easy to blow through if you're not ready. Runway perf is excellent for T/O and landing, and the range at FL450 is impressive. Biggest issue on long legs single pilot is no relief tube up front.
If you're flying it single pilot, it can get busy but I found I enjoyed the challenge once attaining a certain level of comfort with the airplane / systems.
Good luck - I think you'll like the CJ3.
I’m currently flying steam gauges no autopilot I’m hoping it will be an easy transition thanks for the response fly safeOriginally Posted by Mink
I came from a Navy / Grumman steam gauge beast. CJ3 was my first FMS type rating, single pilot. If I can do it...I've trained at FSI in ICT and at ProFlight at CRQ, both we excellent.

I trained at ProFlight in Carlsbad, and they were excellent. The transition to this kind of flying was smooth, thanks to their efforts.
You'll enjoy the airplane.

First of all the airplane is very easy to fly..if you don't have any experience with the proline 21..really focus on how to operate the box.. because the rest is pretty easy if you are any kind of pilot at all..

This too. Make sure you have the syntax down pat before you get busy somewhere. Otherwise you'll be messing around "Was that a forward slash or backslash for the crossing restriction..?"Originally Posted by Gsxr750
