When was the last time you took your citation from 6000 down to a surface elevation of 900' inside of a 6 mile final. Mine was today since ELM approach left us high and dry so the Pinnacle Barbie Jet could land ahead of us.
Flaps 35 and Props Max and just floated home. oh and it was only leg four of a 4 leg day.

You forgot to ask a very important question.
Why would I want to do that???
Why didn't you query approach about getting lower sooner so you wouldn't be in the position to have to do that?
Sounds like a lack of situational awareness?

Isn't the Dash 8 cruise speed like 200Knots?

This line of bickering will lead to thread closure. Neither of these posts have anything to do with speed differences between the Dash and the X in any phase of flight. If you wish to start a discussion about approach profiles or loss of SA in general - please take it to the PMs.

No, just shared with your boss...thats right...only one lav on a big bad Citation X?
Bragging about 20yr old technology on an airplane that was a piece of crap from day one really makes you look like a fool.
Once the woody from sitting right seat in a jet wears off and mommy kicks you out of the basement, you will realize its not what you fly as much as it is about QOL and Money....2 things you wont ever be at the top of the heap on by swinging gear in a Citation.

Did the X beat you up and take your lunch money when you were little? You sure have a lot of animosity towards an innocent airplane! Do you need a nap?

As an ex-atr driver, I used to always say "Hey, we get paid by the minute, not by the mile! I like going slower!
