MODEL 700 Aircraft Overview
Aircraft Overview
The Cessna Citation C700 Longitude is an advanced dual-turbofan transport aircraft capable of
comfortable, high speed, high altitude operations designed to keep passenger comfort high and pilot
workload low. Relying on a pair of Honeywell HTF7700L engines, this general and commercial aviation
aircraft exhibits exceptional fuel economy and a low operational cost, making it perfect for operators who
need a higher range without higher expense.
The airframe has been designed for an excellent piloting experience, with great handling characteristics at
all phases of flight. A number of automated systems keep everything in order during normal operations,
keeping turnaround times low and keeping the pilot’s attention ahead of the plane throughout the flight.
With a service ceiling of 45,000 feet, a class-leading cabin altitude of just 5950 feet, and a maximum cruise
speed of 0.84Mo, the C700 Longitude is a stellar platform for all transport operations and includes
passenger seating availability for 8 in its standard configuration.
The aircraft is certified in the Transport Category in 14 CFR Part 25 (FAA) for daytime, nighttime, VFR, and
IFR. Flight into known icing and Category I operations are also approved (Category II operations, an
option, are not modeled). Minimum crew is one pilot and one copilot.
Aircraft Systems
Avionics
The Longitude is equipped with the Garmin G5000 suite of avionics and related systems. Components of
the Garmin G5000 avionics include:
The G5000 screens have a flexible display system, allowing the PFDs and MFD to each contain split
screens for map, weather, traffic, or systems displays as desired on each pane. Independent pilot and
copilot sides are modeled in the simulation. Reversionary modes and the GDU controller functions are not
modeled (aside from map range functions and baro).
A Standby Flight Display is provided in the case of avionics failure, and to corroborate data present on the
main display units. Rounding out the avionics is an Automated Flight Control System (AFCS) controller,
which controls the flight guidance system with integrated autopilot, flight directors and autothrottle.
Electrical System
The Longitude electrical system is based on a nominal 28V DC electrical power system. DC power is
provided by each engine via a coupled generator. The electrical system is designed as a split bus system
with the ability to ties the two buses should the need arise. Either generator can power the aircraft, via this
Page 2-2
MODEL 700 Aircraft Overview
architecture. In addition, a hydraulic driven motor/generator, the Power Transfer Control Unit (PTCU), is
available as another backup in the case of dual generator failure and will convert hydraulic power from
the hydraulic pumps to electrical power for the aircraft.
An APU provides additional electrical power for ground and emergency operations. The Longitude
modeled is equipped with the 26.4V Li-Ion batteries, connected to each bus. Electrical system controls are
contained on the pilot side lower subpanel underneath the PFD, on the right side of the panel.
Fuel System
The fuel system is comprised of two integral wing fuel tanks, boost pumps, motive-flow ejector pumps,
and recirculation pumps. During normal operations, ejector pumps provide fuel to each engine, and the
right side boost pump provides fuel to the APU. Fuel transfer between tanks is via the fuel transfer valves,
which transfer fuel using the on-side boost pump. A secondary means of fuel transfer, the gravity
crossflow valves, allows gravity transfer between tanks. Gravity crossflow is not available on the ground.
Fuel recirculation pumps circulate fuel to maintain even fuel temperatures throughout the entire tank.
Recirc pumps are always on during normal operations unless the on-side fuel pump is also running or the
fuel level is too low. The fuel recirc pumps may be disabled when required by an AFM procedure.
Fuel controls are contained on the center pedestal, on the right side of the pedestal, fore section (except
the FUEL RECIRC button, which is under the spoiler handle on the opposite side of the pedestal).
Engines
The Longitude is powered by dual HTF7700L high-bypass turbofan engines, flat-rated at 7,665 pounds of
thrust to ISA +18.9C.
Each engine is controlled via a Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC) unit, which provide automatic
start, engine synchronization, and thrust power targets controlled via the cockpit thrust levers. The
engines also provide bleed air to the environmental systems, anti-ice systems, and cabin pressurization
system. Hydraulically operated thrust reversers provide reverse thrust to reduce brake wear and reduce
stopping distances.
Engine start controls are located aft of the throttle quadrant on the center pedestal.
Pneumatics
The Longitude has a comprehensive pneumatic system that supplies bleed air from the engines and APU
and delivers it to the environmental systems, engine air starter, anti-ice, and cabin pressurization systems.
Bleed air from one engine is sufficient to provide all pneumatic-derived function in the case of single-
engine operation.
Pneumatic system related controls are located on the center pedestal aft of the throttle quadrant.
Page 2-3
MODEL 700 Aircraft Overview
Air Conditioning
Environmental control and air conditioning is driven by an Air Cycle Refrigeration Pack, comprised of heat
exchangers and an air cycle machine (ACM). The system is driven by APU or engine bleed air and provides
a source of fresh air, temperature & humidity control, and pressurized air for maximum crew and
passenger comfort.
In the case of ACM failure or other bleed failures, air may be routed around the ACM and instead directly
from the heat exchangers to the air supply. Similarly, air may be routed away from the heat exchangers
directly to the ACM.
Temperature control is normally selected on the GTC and will be automatically modulated; however,
manual heating and cooling control is available. A recirculation fan keeps the movement of air flowing
and is selectable between two speeds or can be automatically controlled.
Controls for the air conditioning system are located just aft of the engine start area on the center
pedestal.
Pressurization
Pressurized air is continuously supplied by the air conditioning system, which exits the cabin pressure
vessel through the cabin outflow valve. The outflow is controlled by the cabin pressure controller to
maintain the desired cabin pressure. A cabin pressure schedule keeps the cabin at as low a cabin altitude
as possible for the best possible passenger experience. A cabin altitude of 5,950 feet is maintained at up
to altitudes of FL450.
Differential pressure is electronically controlled but an independent relief valve will limit pressure in the
event of controller failure.
Controls for pressurization are location in the center of the center pedestal.
Dual ice detection systems provide direct feedback on icing conditions to the pilot via the EIS and CAS,
displaying crew alerts when ice is detected. Wing lights are also provided for visual inspection of the wing
leading edges.
Controls are located on the co-pilot lower panel under the PFD, on the left side of the panel.
Hydraulics
Dual hydraulic systems comprised of a hydraulic fluid reservoir, engine driven hydraulic pump, and
hydraulic accumulators power each side of the hydraulic system. Speedbrakes, roll spoilers, ground
spoilers, brakes, landing gear, thrust reversers, and rudder are powered by the hydraulics system.
Page 2-4
MODEL 700 Aircraft Overview
Hydraulic accumulators provide stored emergency power for the ground spoilers, nosewheel steering, and
parking brake. The Power Transfer Control Unit (PTCU) can use the motor/generator to pump hydraulic
fluid through one of the two hydraulic systems in the case of a system failure using electrical power.
Controls for the hydraulic system are located on the right side fore of the center pedestal.
The main gear are equipped with carbon disc brakes, which are controlled electronically. The brakes are
continuously modulated to prevent wheel skidding and to maintain safe stopping power. Left and right
brakes are independently operated based on pedal inputs. Hydraulic accumulators provide power to the
emergency/parking brakes in case of hydraulic failure.
Flight Controls
Conventional yoke control to the ailerons and elevator is provided directly to the control surfaces via a
standard cable and bellcrank system. Roll control is augmented by hydraulically actuated roll spoilers,
which are located on the two outboard spoilers on each wing. Pitch/Roll Disconnect is not modeled, and
both pilot and copilot positions have all controls connected at all times.
Electrical aileron, rudder, and horizontal stabilizer trim is available. Secondary stabilizer trim system is not
modeled. The rudder is hydraulically actuated by wire using electrical input from the rudder pedals but is
not directly connected. A self-contained rudder standby system provides emergency hydraulic rudder
power in the event of a hydraulic system A failure.
The roll spoiler panels also double as speedbrakes. Speedbrakes are controllable via a pilot controllable
lever and are hydraulically actuated. Ground spoilers are fully automatic and extend during landing or
rejected takeoff maneuvers and add the inboard spoiler panel to the deployment of all panels. Hydraulic
accumulators provide stored power to the ground spoilers in the event of hydraulic system failure.
Lighting
Interior lighting provides lighting to the passengers and crew during night and low light operations.
Interior lighting is controlled via the overhead panel as well as knobs on the outboard side of each lower
pilot/copilot panel under the PFD. Instrument backlighting control is available via those knobs as well as
two others located aft of the center GTCs.
Exterior lights are low maintenance LED type lights, and include red/green navigation lights, red flashing
beacon lights, white flashing anti-collision lights, recognition lights, pulse lights, taxi & wingtip downwash
lights, and landing lights.

MODEL 700 Crew Alerting System
Page 3-1
MODEL 700 Crew Alerting System
Amber MASTER CAUTION alerts require immediate attention and subsequent action to maintain adequate
levels of safety. When such an alert is triggered, the MASTER CAUTION indicator will light, accompanied
by an aural tone, and the alert message will be displayed in the CAS area. MASTER CAUTION alerts will
flash amber until acknowledged by the crew by pressing the MASTER CAUTION button/indicator. After
acknowledgement the alert will remain steady amber in the CAS area until the condition is cleared.
Page 3-2
MODEL 700 Crew Alerting System
If the alert clears prior to acknowledgement, the associated indicator light will extinguish, and no
acknowledgement will be necessary.
White crew alerts only appear in the CAS area but do not cause any aural tone or cockpit indicator. White
alerts do not require explicit crew acknowledgement but should be reviewed nonetheless by the crew to
determine if any corrective action is required.
White messages
Crew alerts can be scrolled using the on-side PFD GTC. The number of messages that are presently hidden
in either direction is displayed at the bottom of the CAS area box.
Alerts that were inhibited when an inhibit state becomes active will reappear upon exiting the inhibit state,
if the alert condition is still active. The Longitude includes the following inhibit states:
The indicated airspeed is greater than 30 KTS and there is a brake failure
The aircraft weight-on-wheels sensors indicate the aircraft is in the air for greater than 30 seconds
The indicated airspeed is less than 50 KTS and there is not a brake failure

While a full overview of the operation and function of the G5000 is beyond the scope of this operator’s
guide, some general usage information will be provided below.
Displays
The Garmin G5000 contains the following displays:
Fully independent left and right side displays are also modeled, which can be independently controlled.
Dual GPS navigation Receivers (with full real-time satellite position modeling and SBAS
simulation)
Full specification-accurate TCAS-II traffic collision avoidance system with Traffic and Resolution
Alerts
COM and NAV radios including independent radios for DME hold
Flight Displays
The G5000 system splits the 3 displays into two main groups: the PFDs for the pilot and co-pilot, and the
MFD which contains maps and instrumentation, shared between the pilot and co-pilot, in the middle of
the cockpit display panel area.
Page 4-2
MODEL 700 Avionics
The PFD can also be split into two separate panes, which can then be controlled with the inboard MFD
GTCs. These panes can contain a moving map, weather radar returns, systems synoptics pages, or traffic
displays.

MODEL 700 Electrical System
An independent standby instrument battery provides power to the standby flight instruments in the
cockpit.
Simulation Notes
The Longitude includes a custom electrical system containing all of the numerous automation features
found on the real aircraft, such as the automated bus tie system and automated generator bus
connection. Cockpit equipment is powered by the correct buses, and a simulation of correct charging
amperage has been built using real charge curves and battery resistance values. The PTCU, a unique item
on the Longitude that allows generation of power from hydromechanical energy, has also been fully
modeled and will provide power to the systems if engaged.
Electrical Buses
Each electrical system bus half is split into a few sub-buses for isolation during abnormal operations.
Hot Battery Bus: The battery is always connected to this bus, and powers a few small items.
Service Bus: This bus powers a number of exterior service items (not modeled) as well as
redundant fuel system power.
Emergency Bus: This bus powers all equipment strictly necessary to land the aircraft in an
emergency.
Mission Bus: The bus powers all items required to fly the aircraft normally, but without system
redundancy. The PTCU hydraulic motor-generator can provide enough power to support the
Mission and Emergency buses.
Main Bus: This bus powers optional and system redundancies. An engine or APU generator is
required to sufficiently supply main bus power during flight operations.
Main Batteries
The dual main batteries are a Li-Ion type, with a nominal 26.4V at full charge and 44 amp-hours. The
batteries are sufficient to provide power to the items on the Emergency Bus for over 40 minutes, if the
electrical bus is set to EMER within 5 minutes of power loss.
Page 5-2
MODEL 700 Electrical System
Standby Battery
The standby battery is a 24V, 10.4 amp-hour lead-acid battery with integral diagnostic and test systems. It
can be tested using the STBY PWR switch. The standby battery is connected to the Left Mission Bus for
charging only, and will supply at least 180 minutes of power to the standby instruments in case of an
electrical failure.
Engine Generators
An engine driven generator is mounted to each engine and provides power to its half of the dual-bus
electrical system. The generators are 28V, rated for 400A of power supply on the ground and 500A of
power supply during flight operations.
APU Generator
One APU driven generator is mounted to the APU and is also 28V, providing 500A of power on the
ground and 400A of power during flight operations. The APU is connected to the left electrical bus
system, but can provide power to both sides when the buses are tied.
External Power
External power may be supplied to the aircraft via an external power connection. External power is not
required for charging the batteries or starting the APU. Battery power is sufficient for APU start, and the
APU generator is sufficient for charging the batteries.
Page 5-3
MODEL 700 Electrical System
ON (Cyan): The MAIN bus is connected to the on-side bus via a connection to the MISSION bus.
OFF (White): The MAIN bus is disconnected from the on-side bus. Setting MAIN to OFF triggers
the MAIN BUS OFF L/R message to alert the pilots to this condition if it was not intended.
EMER (Amber): The MISSION and EMER buses are isolated from each other. Power to the
MISSION bus and the MAIN & INT buses (via the MISSION bus) will be available via the on-side
engine generator only. Setting ELEC to EMER triggers the ELEC EMER L/R message to alert the
pilots to this condition if it was not intended.
Page 5-4
MODEL 700 Electrical System
INTERIOR Button
The INTERIOR button controls the connection of both side interior buses to their respective MISSION
buses. This momentary press button has the following states:
NORM (Cyan): The INTERIOR bus system logic handles the connection of cabin electrical items to
the bus.
OFF (White): The INTERIOR buses are disconnected from the MISSION buses.
ON: The standby flight instruments are powered. If the switch is in this position and the standby
battery is not actively being charged, an amber LED indicator to the left of the switch will light to
alert the pilot to this condition.
TEST: Tests the charge of the standby battery. The switch must be held in this position during the
test, and a green LED indicator to the left of the switch will light to indicate if the standby battery
has sufficient power. Receiving a green light indicator for greater than 3 seconds while the TEST
position is held is sufficient to determine that the battery has enough charge remaining.
ON: The engine or APU driven generator is connected to the MISSION bus. It is safe to leave the
switch in this position, as the electrical system logic will prevent the connection of the engine or
APU driven generator to the bus unless the generator is ready and stabilized. After the generator
is ready and stabilized, the system will automatically connect the generator to the bus.
OFF: The generator is disconnected from the MISSION bus. Setting GEN of OFF will trigger the
GEN OFF L/R message to alert the pilots to this condition if it was not intended.
RESET: The generator logic system will be reset. This position is non-latching and will return to the
OFF position when released.
On the ground the bus tie is normally open, but will be closed (tied) by the automation in any of the
following conditions:
Page 5-5
MODEL 700 Electrical System
A primary power source (engine generator, APU generator, or external power) is only connected
to one bus half. The bus will be tied so the primary power source can provide power to both bus
sides.
Only one battery is online. The bus will be tied so the single battery can provide power to both
bus sides. This will only occur once during initial power up, and the bus tie is prevented from
closing if one battery is shutdown at a time. Once power is fully removed, this logic is reset.
During an APU start request. The bus will be tied to ensure the APU receives sufficient power
during this high load operation.
OPEN (Cyan): The two electrical side buses are not tied.
CLOSED (Amber): The two electrical side buses are tied. While in this state the BUS TIE CLOSED
message will appear to alert the pilots. If both electrical side buses have a connected primary
source of power and BUS TIE is CLOSED for more than 5 minutes, this message will turn to a
yellow caution message to alert the pilots to this condition if it was not intended.
OFF (Amber): The battery is disconnected. Setting BATT to OFF will trigger the BATTERY OFF L/R
message to alert the pilots to this condition if it was not intended.
The Power Transfer and Conversion Unit may also serve as a generator. To engage the PTCU in a
generator mode, the knob can be moved to HYD GEN. This will power the motor-generator from
Page 5-6
MODEL 700 Electrical System
hydraulic system A. Moving away from the HYD GEN position and back after 1 second will switch the
source of hydraulic power to hydraulic system B.
Setting PTCU to HYD GEN will trigger the HYD GEN ON message. If another primary power source is
available, this message will turn into a yellow caution message.
Synoptics Indications
The electrical synoptics pane will display the current state of the components of the electrical system,
including bus connection states, power flows, generator states, and battery states. Digits on the pane will
turn amber reverse video if they are not within the normal operating range. Flow lines will be green when
receiving power and connected to power sources.
The electrical synoptics pane is accessed via the Systems page on one of the MFD GTCs.

MODEL 700 Fuel System
Simulation Notes
The Longitude fuel system is built on the robust MSFS fuel system but also customized on top in a
number of ways. All automation from the real aircraft is modeled, including automated boost pump
management when in NORM modes, automatic recirculation pump management, fuel transfer valve logic,
scavenge pump logic, and custom gravity crossflow simulation & logic.
In addition, a full fuel temperature simulation is included which considers things like wing skin
temperature, the fuel mass, and fuel return temperatures to produce values consistent with real flight log
data and to provide a realistic, authentic flight experience.
Wing Tanks
The wing tanks are of a wet wing design, integral into the structure of the wing. Each wing tank supplies
fuel to its respective engine, while the right tank supplies fuel to the APU. Each wing tank has a usable fuel
capacity of around 1080 US gallons.
As the APU cannot maintain a motive-flow pump, the right boost pump is utilized during APU operation.
Page 6-2
MODEL 700 Fuel System
Shutoff Valves
The left engine, right engine, and APU fuel shutoff valves control the flow of fuel to the respective
turbines. The APU shutoff valve is normally closed and opens when the APU is in use.
Temperature Sensors
Two fuel temperature sensors, installed in each wing, read the temperature of the fuel in the tank and
relay that to the computers and cockpit indications. Additionally, sensors provide fuel temperature
readings for each main fuel inlet line.
Page 6-3
MODEL 700 Fuel System
NORM (Cyan): The boost pump is in the automated NORM mode. In NORM mode, the fuel boost
pump will automatically operate for engine start, fuel transfer operation, APU operation, and
when fuel quantity is low.
When the fuel boost pump is on, whether by automatic logic or manually, the white FUEL BST PUMP ON
L/R message will be triggered.
OPEN (White): The gravity crossflow valves are open. Setting GRAVITY XFLOW to OPEN will
trigger the white FUEL GRV XFLOW ON message.
L TANK: Fuel is transferred from the right tank to the left tank. The right boost pump will be
activated, and the fuel transfer valve will be opened.
R TANK: Fuel is transferred from the left tank to the right tank. The left boost pump will be
activated, and the fuel transfer valve will be opened.
The white FUEL TRANSFER ON message will be triggered if either the L TANK or R TANK positions are
selected. If fuel has been transferring for more than 10 minutes or if fuel is being transferred to a tank that
has more than 60 pounds more fuel than the tank being transferred from, this message will become a
yellow warning message.
A yellow FUEL TRANSFER FAIL message will be triggered if fuel is attempted to be transferred but both
fuel boost pumps are currently active. This condition results in a net zero fuel transfer, as both pumps
push fuel through the transfer valve.
Page 6-4
MODEL 700 Fuel System
NORM (Cyan): The recirculation pumps are automatically controlled. Recirc pumps will be active
under normal operations unless an on-side fuel boost pump is active or the fuel temperature is
very low.
If the fuel imbalance is greater than 500 pounds, the yellow FUEL IMBALANCE message will be triggered.
Synoptics Indications
The Fuel synoptics pane displays an assortment of values and state relating to the fuel system. At the top
are each tank level, with a value and bargraph indication, as well as tank temperatures and total fuel. The
state of the gravity crossflow valves is also displayed at the top of the pane.
Recirc pumps appear at the top of each wing shape, with the boost pumps underneath and to the
inboard. The motive-flow ejector pumps appear in the middle, with the scavenge valves to the inboard of
the ejector pumps. The fuel transfer valve appears at the bottom center of the wing shape between each
wing.
At the bottom of the pane appear the engine and APU icons, along with their associated fuel shutoff
valves, as well as the fuel inlet temperatures. All digits on this pane will appear in amber reverse video if
outside operating parameters. Flow lines are green when active and white when inactive.
If the inlet fuel temperature is less than +3C, the yellow FUEL INLET COLD L/R message will be triggered.

MODEL 700 Engines
Engines Description
The Longitude is powered by a pair of Honeywell HTF770L turbofan engines attached to the sides of the
rear fuselage. Each engine is flat rated at 7,665lbs of thrust at up to ISA +18.9C. The engines also provide
bleed air for pneumatics and environmental systems. Also attached are the hydraulic pumps and DC
electrical generators. Each engine is controlled by a Full Authority Digital Engine Control system.
Simulation Notes
The custom engine simulation uses the MSFS turbine engine for all thrust, ITT, fuel flow, and oil, but builds
on top of that solid foundation with a comprehensive simulation of the FADEC and autothrottle systems.
The FADEC simulation includes all correct engine thrust modes; multiple flight data-matching N1 target
maps for multi, single, and A/I on operation; correct auto-start and ignition logic, and more.
The autothrottle simulation is robust. All autothrottle modes are available including max and min speed
protection modes, and a high quality control loop is implemented for accurate and authentic speed
control response.
The engine flight model has been tuned for accurate speeds, climb rates, and fuel flows using book
performance values.
Engines Overview
Full Authority Digital Engine Control (FADEC)
The FADEC computer engine control system continuously monitors the air temperature and pressure via
internal sensors or ADC supplied values and via logic in the system will adjust ignition, thrust, engine
synchronization, and other parameters. The FADEC is powered by an engine-integral alternator that will
provide power any time the engine is running. Additionally, the FADEC has a number of modes of
operation, which are displayed to the pilot on the instruments.
Thrust Reverser
The Longitude engines contain a pivot door type thrust reverser which is hydraulically actuated. When
activated, the thrust reverser directs thrust forward of the engine allowing for additional deceleration
during landing rollout and a reduction in brake wear. The left thrust reverser is actuated from hydraulic
System A and the right from hydraulic System B.
Engine Controls
The engine throttle quadrant contains all the relevant controls for managing the engines of the Longitude.
Two large throttle levers provide throttle lever angle data to the FADEC, which schedules thrust based on
Page 7-2
MODEL 700 Engines
the position of the throttle levers. The throttle levers are continuous and have no detents; instead the
FADEC will choose the appropriate thrust mode based on where the throttle lever is placed in the
appropriate thrust mode range.
On the throttle levers are also the TO/GA arm button, which is to the outboard side of each throttle lever
on the side of the handle. At the front of the handle near the handle and lever arm joint is the autothrottle
disconnect button. On the outboard side of the throttle lever near the middle of the arm is the
autothrottle arm button and housing, which faces aft.
Below the throttle area on the center pedestal are the ENGINE RUN/STOP buttons with safety covers as
well as the ENGINE STARTER buttons.
Page 7-3
MODEL 700 Engines
Fig 6-4-1 – Location of the AT DISC buttons on front of handles (photo facing aft)
Fig 6-4-2 – Location of the TO/GA button (handle, left side) and AT arm button (handle arm, left side,
facing aft)
Throttle Operations
Changing the engine throttle setting is accomplished by moving the throttles through the range. TO
thrust mode is selected by moving the throttles fully forward, with CLB and CRU modes progressively
further back along the throttle range.
Autothrottle Operations
The AT button at the rear of the throttle lever arm will arm/engage or disengage the autothrottle system.
The autothrottle can also be disconnected using the button on the front of the throttle lever handles. The
autothrottle mode is determined by the system and phase of flight. Target airspeed can be determined by
the automation (using the FMS selection on the Speed Control knob on the autopilot panel) or manually
(using the MAN selection on the same knob) by adjusting the knob up or down. The autothrottle has the
Page 7-4
MODEL 700 Engines
following modes, which are shown on the AFCS Status Box on the top of the PFD (white when armed,
green when active):
HOLD: The autothrottle servos are disabled to allow throttle to be held in place during takeoff up
to 400 feet AGL
RETARD: The autothrottle is reducing throttles to idle during landing operations below 40 feet
AGL.
MAX SPD: The autothrottle has engaged the max speed throttle protection mode and will limit
throttle to prevent overspeed.
MIN SPD: The autothrottle has engaged the min speed throttle protection mode and will increase
throttle to prevent nearing stall speeds.
On the ground during takeoff and once the throttle is advanced towards takeoff power, the autothrottle
will engage HOLD and disable the AT servos to prevent any autothrottle servo-induced power reductions
during the critical takeoff operations phase. The pilots will see TO, however, when performing go-around
operations at takeoff power, where HOLD is not active. HOLD will only activate when on the ground.
Engine Starting
Starting the engine is accomplished with the buttons located aft of the throttle quadrant on the center
pedestal. The RUN/STOP button controls the FADEC engine run or stop state. The START button is a
momentary button that operates in two modes:
With the RUN/STOP button in STOP: Dry motors the engine while the start button is held. Once
the button is released, the starter valve will close and the dry motoring will discontinue.
With the RUN/STOP button in RUN: A press of this button will engage the automatic engine start
sequence. The engine start sequence will continue until the start operation is complete. The
button does not need to be held while the sequence proceeds, and will automatically disengage
upon completion of the engine start sequence.
When the engine starter is active, the START button will light white. Start PSI indicated in the Start PSI box
on the EIS should indicate 32 PSI or greater before attempting to engage the starter.
Engines may be started using APU bleed air or alternatively may also be started using opposite engine
bleed air. Setting the RUN/STOP button to STOP while the engine is running will shut down the engine.
Setting the button to STOP can also abort an engine start if desired.
The bleed air system automatically removes bleed air supply to the air conditioning system when an
engine is starting, to ensure the engine air turbine starter has sufficient bleed air flow. If the left engine is
started with both the right engine and APU running, the system will start the left engine via the APU only,
Page 7-5
MODEL 700 Engines
leaving the right engine to power the ACS during the engine start sequence. As such it is recommended
to start the right engine first unless otherwise directed.
Ensure either APU or opposite engine bleed air is available and 32 PSI of pressure or greater
shows in the Start PSI box
Hold the START button for the engine to be dry motored for 15 seconds or up to 20% N2
After the dry motor procedure is complete, the ENG DRY MTR PROC L/R message will disappear after
three minutes. When the message disappears, the engine may be started.
Dry motor and shutdown times can be checked in the Summary synoptics pane, accessed via the Systems
page on a MFD GTC.
Engine Indications
Important engine operating parameter indications are displayed on the EIS in the top left corner. These
indications include N1%, ITT, N2%, fuel flow, oil pressure, and oil temperature.
The N1 Indicator presents a large amount of data regarding the speed of the engine, engine speed
targets, and other FADEC values. The green arc is the normal operational range of the engine, with the rec
portion of the arc indicating the engine exceedance range. The current N1% needle and the N1% value
display the current engine N1 speed.
The N1 T bug is the currently selected thrust corresponding to the throttle lever angle, with the N1 Arc
indicating the delta between the current engine speed and the desired engine speed. The N1 V bug
indicates the engine speed corresponding to the current FADEC thrust mode. The N1 Arc and T bug are
cyan when pilot selected, green when pilot selected and matching a FADEC thrust mode, and magenta
when under autothrottle control. The N1 V bug is white when the pilot selected speed does not match a
Page 7-6
MODEL 700 Engines
FADEC thrust mode, green when the pilot selected engine speed is matching, and magenta when under
autothrottle control.
The thrust mode indicator shows the current FADEC thrust mode:
TO: Takeoff
CLB: Climb
CRU: Cruise
Thrust reverser indications appear at the top of the N1 indicator, and show the following possible states:
T/R UNLOCK: The thrust reverser has been unlocked and is deploying.
T/R DEPLOY: The thrust reverser is deployed and locked in the deployed position.
Prior to both engines running, the starter PSI start box will appear between the ITT gauges. This shows the
amount of pressure available at the ATS starter valve for engine start. PSI for engine start should be at
least 32 PSI. Additionally, START will appear vertically while the engine FADEC is performing the engine
start procedure.
Page 7-7
MODEL 700 Engines
The EIS ITT indicators are located under the N1 indicators. The green arc indicates the normal operating
range, with the red arc indicating the unsafe operating range. The needle shows the current engine ITT
and the numeric value is also shown, prior to engine start. Once the engine is started, the ITT numeric
value is removed from the display. The pilot may show the ITT digits by using the Systems Propulsion
page on the GTC and enabling Engine Display Digits.
The red unsafe range lowers to the hot start range during start, and returns to the normal range after the
engine is started.

MODEL 700 Auxiliary Power Unit
Page 8-1
MODEL 700 Auxiliary Power Unit
The APU is also certified for use in flight up to FL350. The maximum altitude for starting the APU while in
flight is FL310.
Simulation Notes
The Longitude APU uses the standard MSFS APU simulation plus a custom APU EGT simulation, but then
feeds and is affected by the custom bleed air and fuel system simulations.
APU Fuel
Fuel for the APU is sourced from the right fuel tank. As the APU does not have enough flow to power the
motive-flow ejector pumps, the right fuel boost pump is engaged when starting and operating the APU. If
the right engine is running, the boost pump is no longer required and will turn off.
APU Controls
The APU is controlled by a single three position knob, located in the aft right corner of the center
pedestal. This knob has the following positions:
START: The APU start sequence will begin. This is a momentary spring loaded position and will
return to the ON position.
A white APU ON message will be triggered if the APU is on above FL200. A yellow APU ON message will
be triggered if the APU is on above the maximum certified usage altitude of FL350.
NOTE:
Bleed air will not be provided until 90 seconds after the APU is started..
Page 8-2
MODEL 700 Auxiliary Power Unit
APU Indications
The APU indications appear on the lower right corner of the EIS and include the RPM as a percentage and
APU EGT. The APU is automatically controlled so that 100% RPM is maintained as APU load changes. A
white APU OFF replaces the RPM and EGT displays when the APU is not running.
APU Hours and Cycles for the current airframe are displayed on the Propulsion page, accessed via the
Systems page on a MFD GTC. The Longitude saves this information per individual airframe, which is
determined by the tail number chosen.

MODEL 700 Pneumatics
Engine bleed air may be taken from either the high pressure (HP) source (from the engine high-stage
compressor), low pressure (LP) source (from the engine intermediate-stage compressor), or both. If the LP
source is sufficient for the current operational settings, the HP source is not used, to increase engine
efficiency.
Simulation Notes
The Longitude includes a fully custom and comprehensive bleed air system built from the ground up for
this aircraft. The bleed air system is fully flow based, and computes pressures and temperatures in real-
time from valve and line conditions as well as LP and HP source contributions at various engine speeds.
Bleed air routing will affect the air conditioning and anti-ice systems in correct ways. Engine performance
changes based on bleed air load are also modeled, such as N1 drop, ITT rise, and decreased fuel
efficiency.
Additionally, the full array of complex Longitude bleed air automation logic found on the real aircraft is
faithfully represented here.
The HP regulation point is normally set at 31.5 +/- 2.5 PSIG, however it will shift to 52 +/- 6 PSIG when
wing anti-ice is requested, in order to satisfy the higher wing anti-ice bleed air requirements.
Bleed PRSOVs
The bleed PRSOVs control the flow of the engine bleed air to the main bleed air manifold. These valves
are controlled electronically, and when signaled open, will open only with pressure beyond 12 PSIG in
order to ensure that the bleed air sources are stable before attempting to supply bleed air.
Page 9-2
MODEL 700 Pneumatics
NORM (Cyan): Control of the bleed air source is automatic. The bleed air source will flow to the
main manifold under almost all operational conditions. Bleed valves may close during some
engine start conditions to provide maximum bleed air to the ATS while preventing bleed draw to
the opposite engine.
OFF (Amber): The engine bleed air source is turned off. A yellow ENG BLEED OFF L/R message
will trigger, if on the ground. This message will be white if in the air.
Page 9-3
MODEL 700 Pneumatics
NORM (Cyan): Control of the APU bleed air source is automatic. Bleed air will flow from the APU
to the left bleed air manifold. Bleed air is provided 90 seconds after the APU is started.
OFF (Amber): The APU bleed air source is turned off. The APU bleed air PRSOV will be signaled
closed. A yellow APU BLEED OFF message will trigger, if on the ground. This message will be
white if in the air.
NORM (Cyan): Control of the bleed isolation and wing crossflow valves is automatic. The bleed
isolation valve will be commanded closed except during engine start operations where bleed air
must be sourced from the opposite side of the manifold. If the aircraft is in the air and an engine
has been shutdown for more than two minutes or if the aircraft is in the air and an engine is being
started, then a yellow BLEED ISOLATE NORM message will be triggered to alert the pilots that
they should select cross flow of the bleed system.
XFLOW (White): The bleed isolation valve is commanded open, unless wing anti-ice is requested.
If wing anti-ice is requested, the bleed isolation valve will remain closed and the wing crossflow
valve will open instead. A white BLEED ISOLATE XFLOW message will be triggered. This message
will become yellow if throttles are advanced to takeoff on the ground or if both engine bleed air
sources are available and XFLOW has been selected for more than 5 minutes.
FLOW Button
The FLOW button controls whether the bleed air system is in a normal or high flow mode. This primarily
affects the environmental control system. More details can be found in the respective operator’s guide
section.

MODEL 700 Air Conditioning
Simulation Notes
The Longitude includes a full simulation of the ECS and air conditioning systems. This includes ACM and
Heat Exchanger only modes, with appropriate cabin and heating capacities and capabilities. The bleed air
system simulation is fed into the air conditioning simulation, providing temperature simulation for the
pack source outlets, realistic heat transfer to and from the interior air mass, all able to be managed by an
automated temperature controller.
Primary and secondary heat exchangers are within the ram air flow and remove heat from the bleed air
source prior to reaching the ACM. The ACM cools the air via standard compressor-based refrigeration and
the secondary heat exchanger will remove the hot compressor air.
In case of a leak, both the heat exchangers and ACM can be isolated from the bleed air flow. Doing so can
impact the performance of the heating and cooling of the cabin. If the heat exchanger is selected as the
sole air conditioning source, the system will be unable to cool the cabin lower than the current RAT.
Page 10-2
MODEL 700 Air Conditioning
When the knobs are moved to the manual range, the cabin and cockpit supply duct temperature is
controlled by the knob position. The cabin and cockpit selected temperature will not be automatically
maintained and must be managed by increasing or decreasing the supply temperature to reach the
desired cabin and cockpit temperatures.
ECS Knob
The ECS knob controls the isolation mode of the ACRP. The knob has three positions:
NORM: The ACS is controlled by the temperature controller and targets the temperature on the
GTC Temperature Page. Bleed air will pass through both the heat exchangers and the ACM for
best ACS performance.
ACM ONLY: The heat exchangers will be bypassed, and the ACS will operate via the ACM only.
When the knob is in this position and the aircraft is on the ground, the yellow ACM ONLY
message will be triggered.
HEAT EXCHG ONLY: The ACM will be bypassed, and the ACS will operate via the heat exchangers
only. When the knob is in this position the white HEAT EXCHG ONLY message will be triggered.
This message will become yellow if the airplane is on the ground or if the system has
automatically switched to heat exchanger mode and the knob is not in this position.
Page 10-3
MODEL 700 Air Conditioning
FLOW Button
The flow button controls the flow mode of the bleed air system to the ACS. This momentary button has
two possible states:
HIGH (White): Increased airflow will be diverted and provided to the ACS system to increase
heating and cooling performance. Selecting HIGH on very warm or very cold days is
recommended to maximize climate control rates.
NORM (Cyan): The pressure source valves will be automatically controlled. These valves are
normally open to provide flow to the ACS, except during some engine start operations.
OFF (Amber): The pressure source valves will be closed. No bleed air will flow from the on-side
main manifold to the on-side ACS manifold.
The GTC Temperature Page allows the pilots to select the target temperature for the cockpit and cabin
climate control zones. Additionally, the recirc fan speed may be controlled from this page. Pressing the
Units button will allow one to change between C and F units, which will also be reflected on the ECS
synoptic page. The cabin control button will allow the passengers to control the cabin temperature, but
has no effect in the sim at this time.
Page 10-4
MODEL 700 Air Conditioning
For very warm days, selecting the coldest possible target temperature will expedite the cabin and cockpit
cooling process. Conversely, for very cold days, selecting the warmest possible target temperature will
expedite the heating process.
As such it is recommended to start the right engine first unless otherwise directed.
ACS Indications
The state of the air conditioning system is displayed on the ECS synoptic pane. This pane shows the flows
of the bleed air system sources into the air conditioning system and the position of various bleed air
valves related to the ACS. Active flows are colored in green, and inactive flows in white.
The cabin and cockpit supply temperatures are also depicted, as well as the current temperatures in each
zone, and the selected target temperature for each zone, displayed in the units selected on the GTC
Temperature page. Recirc fan speed and activity is also shown.

MODEL 700 Pressurization
Pressurization Description
The Longitude is equipped with an automated electronically controlled Cabin Pressurization Control
System (CPCS) that regulates the cabin altitude for maximum pilot safety and passenger comfort. The
system can provide a cabin altitude of just 5,950 +/- 225 feet at FL450. Pressurized ACS air is continually
added to the pressure vessel, and an electronically actuated outflow valve controls the rate at which air
leaves the pressure vessel.
Simulation Notes
The Longitude includes a very complete simulation of the pressurization system found on the real aircraft.
It includes all the various modes, such as climb, descent, manual, high alt, and uses accurate cabin altitude
schedules to provide a very authentic facsimile. The climb and descent rates are likewise accurate to the
real aircraft, taking into account the current modes and conditions.
The simulation is also affected by the bleed air system as it should be, and preventing bleed air from
reaching the ACS will likewise prevent additional cabin pressurization. Smaller details like the negative
pressure relief system are also modeled.
Landing Mode
The pressurization controller will target 200 feet below the landing elevation as the final cabin altitude to
reach during the descent. Once the aircraft is on the ground, the cabin will automatically be depressurized
at a rate of 500 feet per minute if the delta P is 0.3 PSI or less, or 2000 feet per minute if it is greater.
Page 11-2
MODEL 700 Pressurization
Cabin Altitude:
o Normal: A yellow CABIN ALTITUDE message will be triggered when the cabin altitude
exceeds 8,500 feet. This message will become red when the cabin altitude exceeds 9,800
feet.
o High Alt Mode: A white CABIN ALTITUDE message will trigger to alert the pilots to the
altered cabin altitude schedule. This message will become yellow when the cabin altitude
has exceeded 9,800 feet for more than 30 minutes. Additionally, this message will become
yellow when the cabin altitude exceeds 14,800 feet.
Operational Considerations
Bleed air flow to the ACS is required to pressurize the cabin. As such, if bleed air is disconnected from the
ACS, cabin pressurization will not continue, and the current cabin pressure will be held. This may result in
a rise in cabin altitude.
Page 11-3
MODEL 700 Pressurization
Pressurization Controls
GTC Cabin Pressure Page
The Cabin Pressure page is the primary means of managing the pressurization system, and is accessed via
the Systems page on a MFD GTC. The page has a few buttons and options.
The Mode buttons allow the pilots to select the mode the controller should be operating in.
Normal: The controller will target a landing elevation and use the climb and descent schedules to
automatically manage the cabin altitude. This landing elevation can either be FMS controlled
(targeting the destination) or manually entered.
Altitude Select: The controller will target exactly the altitude entered in the Cabin Altitude
selection box.
The Landing Elevation/Cabin Altitude box allows the pilot to adjust either the landing elevation or cabin
altitude. When the box is in landing elevation mode, pressing this button will bring up the landing
elevation dialog. In this dialog, a manual landing elevation can be entered. Alternatively, pressing Use FMS
Destination will close the dialog and switch to using the destination entered in the FMS flight plan.
When the box is in Cabin Altitude mode, pressing this button brings up the cabin altitude dialog. Entering
an altitude here will instruct the controller to target this exact cabin altitude.
Pedestal Controls
The additional pilot controls for cabin altitude are located on the center pedestal, aft of the environmental
controls.
Page 11-4
MODEL 700 Pressurization
DUMP (Amber): The cabin pressurization dump function is engaged. The cabin outflow valve is
fully opened, and cabin pressure will rapidly equalize with the ambient external pressure.
NORM (Cyan): The cabin pressure is automatically managed via the cabin pressurization controller
using the options set on the GTC Cabin Pressure page.
MANUAL (Cyan): The cabin pressurization controller is bypassed. Cabin altitude is controlled via
the CABIN ALT switch to the left of the PRESS MODE button.
NOTE:
The CABIN ALT switch changes pressurization slowly for the first 6 seconds it is held. After 6 seconds, the
outflow valve is rapidly repositioned, and the pressurization change is very fast. Use small, short changes
when using this switch unless a rapid change is necessary.
Page 11-5
MODEL 700 Pressurization
On the opposite side, either the landing elevation (LDG ELEV) or the selected cabin altitude (ALT SEL) is
displayed. User selected values will appear in cyan and FMS derived values in magenta. Under the
elevation the cabin delta pressure is displayed. The value digits are green, unless the delta pressure is
exceeding the limits, upon which the digits will become red.

MODEL 700 Ice and Rain Protection
Page 12-1
MODEL 700 Ice and Rain Protection
The Longitude is approved for operation in maximum intermittent and maximum continuous icing
conditions as defined by 14 CFR Part 25, Appendix C, when all ice protection equipment is in operational
condition.
Simulation Notes
The Longitude anti-ice system utilizes the MSFS icing simulation to drive the accumulation, aerodynamic
effects, and ice removal (from the sim side), but adds a simulation of the wing anti-ice system, the
windshield heat controller, and automated pitot heat system.
A number of real aircraft behaviors are modeled, such as engine spool and wait prior to opening the wing
anti-ice valves, pitot logic, ice detectors, and more. The stabilizer anti-ice button is modeled, but no
behavior is connected and it will not affect ice accumulation due to sim limitations.
Ice Detectors
There are twin ice detectors equipped on the Longitude, located on either side of the nose below the
windshields. The Longitude does not require activation of the ice protection systems at typical cruise
speeds until the ice detectors detect icing conditions. When icing conditions are detected the yellow
ICING message will appear in both the CAS and in the EIS.
Wing Anti-Ice
The wing anti-ice system uses heated bleed air from the engines to warm the leading edge of the wing
surface, by routing the hot bleed air through the wing to piccolo tubes installed inside the wing leading
edge. Temperature probes installed in this area monitor the leading edge temperature and display that
information to the pilots.
Engine Anti-Ice
The engine anti-ice system also uses heated bleed air directly from the engines themselves to heat the
inlet leading edge via piccolo tubes.
Page 12-2
MODEL 700 Ice and Rain Protection
The Longitude is not equipped with windshield wipers. The windshields are coated in a hydrophobic
coating that prevents rain accumulation.
ON (White): Anti-ice bleed air is diverted from the engine and applied. This will trigger a white A/I
ENG ON L/R message. If all four top anti-ice buttons are ON, this message will become ICE
PROTECT ALL ON.
Page 12-3
MODEL 700 Ice and Rain Protection
WING Button
The WING button controls anti-ice bleed air application to the wing leading edge surfaces. This
momentary button has the following states:
ON (White): Anti-ice bleed air is applied to the wing leading edge surface. When activating wing
anti-ice, engines will spool slightly for 4 seconds before the wing anti-ice bleed valves are opened
in order to prepare for the increased bleed load. This will trigger a white A/I WING ON L/R
message. If all four top anti-ice buttons are ON, this message will become ICE PROTECT ALL ON.
STAB Button
The STAB button controls the electromechanical de-ice system of the horizontal stabilizer. The button and
associated states are modeled, but the button has no effect in the sim.
ON (White): Electromechanical stabilizer de-ice is applied. This will trigger a white A/I STAB ON
message. If all four top anti-ice buttons are ON, this message will become ICE PROTECT ALL ON.
PITOT/STATIC Button
The PITOT/STATIC button controls the pitot/static anti-ice heating mode. This momentary button has two
states:
NORM (Cyan): The pitot/static heat is applied automatically. Heat will begin to be applied during
the takeoff roll when there is sufficient speed for cooling the hot element via airflow, or anytime
while the aircraft is in the air. Heat will also be applied during an in-air engine failure.
ON (Amber): The pitot/static heat is ON. This will trigger a yellow P/S BUTTON ON message
while on the ground, to alert the pilots to limit time of use while on the ground. While in the air,
this message will be white.
Page 12-4
MODEL 700 Ice and Rain Protection
When icing is detected by the ice detectors and all four top anti-ice buttons are not set to ON, the ICING
message appears in amber reverse video on the EIS. If all four top anti-ice buttons are set to ON, this
indication turns to normal white text, which will be displayed until icing conditions are no longer sensed
by the ice detectors.
Anti-Ice Synoptic
The Anti-Ice synoptic pane displays a number of ice protection values and can be accessed via the
Systems page on a MFD GTC.
Page 12-5
MODEL 700 Ice and Rain Protection
The Anti-Ice synoptic pane displays the status of the windshield heating system, which when active, will
appear on the windshield figures at the top of the synoptic. Temperatures will also appear in this area.
Wing leading edge temperature sensor readings appear at 4 positions along the wing leading edge
figures, and behind those are the wing bleed air PSI readings and the wing bleed air inlet temperature.
Underneath that appears the wing cross flow valve, and then the two wing anti-ice valves.
In the middle on the bottom horizontal main manifold line appear the engine bleed air valves, with the
bleed isolate valve in the middle. Outboard and to the bottom of those are the HP engine bleed air valves.

MODEL 700 Hydraulic System
Page 13-1
MODEL 700 Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system also contains a Power Transfer and Conversion Unit that allows for hydraulic power
to transfer from one system to another, if a hydraulic pump should fail. The PTCU also can be operated in
a generator mode to convert hydraulic power to electrical power.
Simulation Notes
The Longitude includes a complete, custom hydraulic system that is fully flow based, using real world
hydraulic formulae to manage system pressures based on pump output, individual accumulator fill
percentages and pressure outputs, and connected system availability. It also contains a full temperature
simulation of the hydraulic fluid mass based on pump work and other parameters.
All modes of the PTCU are modeled, including the full set of automation and logic that appears in the real
aircraft. Additionally, the rudder standby system is modeled as well.
Page 13-2
MODEL 700 Hydraulic System
In normal operations, when in power transfer mode, the unit will automatically use power from one
system to ensure that the opposite system is also fully powered an pressurized.
Page 13-3
MODEL 700 Hydraulic System
NORM: The hydraulic pumps will follow normal operation. Pumps will be active when the engine
is running.
MIN – Powers the pump depressurization valve to lower the hydraulic system pump output
pressure. The aircraft may experience reduced performance of hydraulic powered equipment on
the connected hydraulic system. Depending on conditions and PTCU operation, this may trigger a
yellow HYD PRESS LOW A/B message.
SHUTOFF – The hydraulic pump will be shut off and the firewall shutoff valve will be closed.
Hydraulically actuated equipment connected to the system may not operate. Equipment with
connected hydraulic accumulators will function until the accumulators are depleted. This position
will trigger a HYD SHUTOFF A/B message. This message will turn yellow if the pump is available,
but the switch is still set to this position.
PTCU Knob
The PTCU knob controls the running mode of the Power Transfer and Conversion Unit. This knob has the
following 5 positions:
OFF: The PTCU will be disabled. No hydraulic transfer, emergency aux pump operation, or
hydraulic motor-generator operation will be provided. This position will trigger a white PTCU OFF
message.
AUX A: The PTCU will use electrical power to provide emergency hydraulic pumping to System A.
If System A already has sufficient pressure, the PTCU will revert to power transfer mode. This
position will trigger a white HYD AUX PUMP ON A/B message.
NORM: The PTCU will operate automatically. While in the NORM position, the PTCU will provide
hydraulic power to the brake system to charge the parking brake accumulators upon aircraft
power up (first System B, then System A), in order to ensure sufficient parking brake operation.
The PTCU will also provide pump priming to System A or System B during their respective on-side
engine starts. If neither of these operations are required, the PTCU will revert to power transfer
mode. If the PTCU is not selected to the NORM position while on the ground during engine run
or start operations, a yellow PTCU NOT NORM message will be triggered.
AUX B: The PTCU will use electrical power to provide emergency hydraulic pumping to System B.
If System B already has sufficient pressure, the PTCU will revert to power transfer mode. This
position will trigger a white HYD AUX PUMP ON A/B message.
HYD GEN: The PTCU will operate as a hydromechanical electrical generator. This will normally
source from System B, but may be switched to sourcing from System A if the switch is moved
away from HYD GEN for 1 second, then returned to the HYD GEN position. This position will
trigger a white HYD GEN ON message. This message will turn yellow if the switch is in this
position and there still is a different available primary power source.
Page 13-4
MODEL 700 Hydraulic System
NORM (Cyan): The rudder standby system will engage upon loss of hydraulic pressure to System
A.
OFF (Amber): The rudder standby system will be powered off. If System A is currently without
hydraulic pressure, this can cause the rudder to be inoperative. A yellow RUDDER STANDBY OFF
message will be triggered.
Page 13-5
MODEL 700 Hydraulic System
The Hydraulics synoptic pane displays numerous pieces of data about the hydraulics systems. The the
top of each system side is the hydraulic system reservoir level, represented by a bargraph indicator
with the percentage full value to the inboard side of the indicator. Above the reservoir indicator is the
current system pressure and temperature. Normal values will be displayed in green and abnormal
values in amber reverse video.
The firewall valve and engine-driven pump are also shown (active/connected in green, otherwise
white). A main line extends downward to a number of connected systems, with labels for those
systems. For those systems that have backup hydraulic accumulators, icons are shown also connected
towards the center of the synoptic. Accumulators with sufficient stored pressure will be in green,
otherwise in white.
At the bottom of the synoptic pane are the brake status boxes. These show the pressure measured at
the hydraulic accumulator outputs in large text, above the accumulator icons. Inside the boxes are the
labels for the connected brake systems and the currently applied braking pressure.
In the center of the synoptic is the rudder standby system box. The pump icon and rudder box will
appear green when the standby system is active.
Above the rudder standby system is the PTCU indicator. This indicator shows a number of PTCU
operational state:
Dashed line from left to right pump: The PTCU is in hydraulic power transfer mode, but the
systems are balanced. This is the normal operating condition in most circumstances.
Arrow line from left to right pump: The PTCU is in hydraulic power transfer mode and the
system is transferring power from System A to System B.
Arrow line from right to left pump: The PTCU is in hydraulic power transfer mode and the
system is transferring power from System B to System A.
Arrow line from M/G to left pump: The PTCU is in Aux A mode and operating as a pump for
System A using electrical power.
Arrow line from M/G to right pump: The PTCU is in Aux B mode and operating as a pump for
System B using electrical power.
Arrow line from left pump to M/G: The PTCU is in Hyd Gen A mode and using hydraulic
power from System A to run the electrical motor-generator to produce electrical power.
Arrow line from right pump to M/G: The PTCU is in Hyd Gen B mode and using hydraulic
power from System B to run the electrical motor-generator to produce electrical power.

MODEL 700 Landing Gear and Brake Systems
Page 14-1
MODEL 700 Landing Gear and Brake Systems
The main landing gear contain a hydraulically actuated brake-by-wire system with anti-skid brakes and
each wheel has independent inboard and outboard systems connected to opposite hydraulic systems. The
emergency/parking brake applies equal power to all four brake assemblies. When hydraulic power is
unavailable, the emergency/parking brakes can operate solely from the brake hydraulic accumulators for a
number of cycles to ensure stopping power for landing in emergency situations.
Simulation Notes
The Longitude uses the sim brake system, but adds a number of effects on top. These effects include loss
of main braking ability without hydraulic power, accumulator connection and depletion when using the
parking brakes, and more. Anti-skid is simulated as well as a full brake temperature simulation taking into
account wheel speed, brake pressure, and exposure to moving cool air while in motion.
Additionally, some smaller details such as wheel spin inhibit on landing gear retraction are also modeled.
The system reads the pilot pedal position value and electronically modulates the brakes based on the
pedal position and wheel speed. Brake pressure will be scaled while wheel speeds are high to prevent skid
and slippage.
When the landing gear are retracted, the system will automatically apply brake pressure to spin down the
wheels prior to them entering the landing gear bays. Pilot “tapping” of the brakes upon liftoff is not
required. Upon leaving the ground, pilot control of the brakes is disabled.
Emergency/Parking Brake
The emergency/parking brake system are not on separate assemblies but engage the same brake
assemblies equally with maximum brake pressure via independent dedicated hydraulic lines. In addition,
the main braking system hydraulic check valve will engage in the event of hydraulic pressure loss, so that
the brake hydraulic accumulators remain charged. Normal pedal braking action will be unavailable;
however, engaging the emergency/parking brake system will use the charged accumulator power to
operate the brake assemblies until the accumulators are depleted.
Page 14-2
MODEL 700 Landing Gear and Brake Systems
Engaging the parking brake while on the ground will trigger the white PARK BRAKE ON message. This
message will turn red if the throttles are advanced beyond idle and will also trigger the red NO TAKEOFF
message.
Nosewheel Steering
The nosewheel steering system provides 7 degrees of steering angle with the rudder pedals and 81
degrees of steering angle from the tiller. However, this is simulated for convenience in MSFS as having the
full steering authority at low speeds from the rudder pedals, transitioning to 7 degrees during the
beginning of the takeoff roll. The tiller wheel in the cockpit is modeled physically but is INOP.
Landing Gear
The landing gear are typical retractable tricycle style landing gear arrangement with a single up/down
control lever. The emergency landing gear extension panel and system are not modeled. Due to this, we
do still allow landing gear extension with no hydraulic pressure, so you cannot enter a state where the
landing gear would be unable to extend in a situation where the real aircraft would be able to extend.
The landing gear handle is located on the inboard side of the copilot panel, underneath the PFD.
Page 14-3
MODEL 700 Landing Gear and Brake Systems
A red LANDING GEAR message with accompanying “Landing Gear, Landing Gear” aural alert will be
triggered under the following conditions:
Gear are not down and locked and flaps are selected beyond flaps 2.
Gear are not down and locked, radio altimeter is less than 500 feet AGL, and throttle is near flight
idle.
When the gear are up, white UP boxes appear in the respective indicator area. During gear transition,
white crosshatch boxes are displayed. Once the gear are down, green DN boxes appear.

MODEL 700 Flight Control System
Page 15-1
MODEL 700 Flight Control System
The spoiler system is also used to provide speed brake functions in the air as well as ground spoiler
functions on the ground. Flaps are electronically actuated. The rudder is a “fly-by-wire” system providing
things like automatic yaw-damping and control scaling.
Simulation Notes
The Longitude uses primarily the standard MSFS control system but does add a few interactions with
other systems as well. Automatic YD logic is implemented, as well as the failure of the rudder and YD with
no hydraulic power and RSS off. Roll spoilers are also simulated, with a reduction in roll authority when
the roll spoilers cannot be used due to hydraulic shutdown. Finally, the speedbrake and fully automated
ground spoiler system are also faithfully simulated.
Pitch Controls
Elevator
The elevator is controlled via direct mechanical linkage to the cockpit control columns. Moving the control
columns fore or aft will change the angle of the elevator.
Pitch Trim
Horizontal stabilizer trim is normally operated on the Longitude in MSFS. Dual channel and secondary
trim functions are not presently modeled. Stabilizer trim is displayed on the EIS, with a green band while
on the ground to indicate the takeoff range. The takeoff range band accommodates all valid CGs and
does not move based on CG. Please see Normal Procedures, Cockpit Preparation for the appropriate trim
setting for the aircraft CG.
The pitch trim must be in the green range for takeoff. Values outside the green range will produce a NO
TAKEOFF message (white, then red if throttles are advanced near TO).
Page 15-2
MODEL 700 Flight Control System
Roll Controls
Ailerons
The ailerons are controlled via direct mechanical linkage to the cockpit control wheel. Turning the control
wheel left or right will change the angle of the ailerons.
Roll Spoilers
The four outboard spoiler panels (two on each wing) act as roll spoilers and operate together with the
ailerons for roll control. These panels are hydraulically actuated. If hydraulic power to the spoilers is not
available, the plane will experience reduced roll authority. When hydraulic power is lost, check valves close
to maintain accumulator charge for the ground spoiler system and roll spoilers will not be available.
Aileron Trim
Aileron trim is normally operated on the Longitude in MSFS. Aileron trim must be within the green range
for takeoff. Values outside the green range will produce a NO TAKEOFF message (white, then red if
throttles are advanced near TO).
Yaw Controls
Rudder
The rudder is a fly-by-wire unit controlled via signaling of the rudder pedal position to the rudder control
unit. The rudder is hydraulically actuated by the control unit.
Integrated into the rudder system is automatic yaw dampening. Yaw dampening will be automatically
engaged by the system during the correct phases of flight. No YD indication will appear in the AFCS
Status Box at the top of the PFD, and there is no YD button on the AFCS control panel.
Loss of hydraulic power to System A will cause the Rudder Standby System to engage, providing backup
pump power to the rudder. If the RSS is also unavailable, the rudder will be inoperative (including yaw
dampening). In this case the yellow RUDDER FAIL A-B and YAW DAMPER FAIL A/B messages will be
triggered.
Rudder Trim
Rudder trim is normally operated on the Longitude in MSFS. Rudder trim must be within the green range
for takeoff. Values outside the green range will produce a NO TAKEOFF message (white, then red if
throttles are advanced near TO).

MODEL 700 Flight Control System
The speedbrakes can be deployed progressively by moving the speedbrake handle down to achieve the
desired amount of braking. Speedbrakes can be deployed at any speed but must be retracted by 500 feet
AGL on the landing profile. Failure to retract the speedbrakes by this altitude will trigger the yellow
SPEEDBRAKES message.
A speedbrake auto-stow function automatically retracts the speedbrakes when throttle exceeds 30
degrees throttle level angle (around CRU power) or when the AOA of the aircraft is sufficient to trigger the
stick shakers. If the speedbrakes are auto-stowed, a yellow SPEEDBRAKE AUTO STOW message will be
triggered.
Resetting the speedbrake handle fully upward (retracted) will reset the speedbrake auto-stow logic.
Ground Spoilers
The ground spoiler system includes all six spoiler panels and is a fully automatic system that does not
require any pilot action. Ground spoilers deploy automatically when wheel speed is greater than 35 knots
Page 15-4
MODEL 700 Flight Control System
and both throttle levers are at approximately idle. The ground spoilers automatically retract below 30
knots, or when the throttles are advanced away from idle. In addition to aiding in slowing the plane, the
ground spoilers also reduce lift, increasing the weight on the nose landing gear for optimal steering and
braking effectiveness. Ground spoilers extend the spoiler panels 60 degrees.
In the event of a loss of hydraulic power, the ground spoiler hydraulic accumulators will retain enough
charge to power the ground spoilers upon landing or during a rejected takeoff. When the accumulators
are depleted, ground spoilers will no longer function.
Flaps
Flaps are operated via the flaps handle on the right side of the center pedestal. The flaps have four detent
settings:
UP (0 degrees)

MODEL 700 Lighting
Lighting Description
The Longitude is equipped with a number of interior and exterior lights. Exterior lights consist of multiple
fixtures designed for day and night operations and to assist in visibility & maintenance of the aircraft.
Interior lighting is also provided and consists of direct and indirect lighting for operational visibility inside
the flight deck in all lighting conditions.
Simulation Notes
The Longitude simulates a comprehensive suite of external and cockpit lighting elements. Cabin lighting is
not specifically modeled. Automatic logic for a number of exterior lights is also fully simulated.
Cockpit Lighting
Overhead Lighting Controls
The overhead lighting panel contains the following cockpit lighting controls:
PANEL Knob: Controls the brightness of the instrument panel label backlighting. The Day position
is full intensity.
FLOOD Knob: Controls the brightness of the overhead cockpit flood light.

MODEL 700 Lighting
Exterior Lighting
Navigation Lights
LED navigation lights are located on the left and right winglets and at the trailing edge of the tail bullet
fairing. These lights are colored red (left wingtip), green (right wingtip) or white (tail). Navigation lights are
automatically selected on when the Garmin G5000 is powered up. Control of the navigations lights on or
off is performed via the GTC Exterior Lights page, accessed via the Systems page.
Page 16-3
MODEL 700 Lighting
beacon function of the lights is a flashing red light, while the anti-collision function flashes the lights
white.
The beacon function is controlled on the Exterior Lights GTC Page. The default power on is the Normal
mode, which will turn on the beacon lights anytime an engine is set to RUN or the starter is engaged.
Setting the beacon lights to On will turn them on, and Off will turn them off.
The white flashing anti-collision function is selected ON by pressing the ANTI COLL button on the
overhead lighting panel.
Landing lights are selected with the L LDG and R LDG buttons on the overhead lighting panel. Recognition
lights are selected with the RECOG button on the overhead lighting panel, and pulse lights with the PULSE
button. The recognition or pulse lights functions cannot be selected when the landing lights function is
also selected.
Automatic pulse light activation is configurable on the GTC Exterior Lights page. The On setting will cause
pulse lights to flash when TCAS issues a TA or RA. Off will deactivate the automatic logic.
Taxi Lighting
Taxi lighting is installed in the nosewheel and is a high intensity element designed for increased
environment visibility during taxi operations. Additionally, wingtip downwash lights activate to help pilots
and ground crew identify the wingtip location during night and low-light operations.
Taxi lights are selected with the TAXI button on the overhead lighting panel.
