Want to fly the Citation CJ4 in Microsoft Flight Simulator like a pro? In this full tutorial, we walk you through how to set up the FMS (Flight Management System) from start to finish—including your entire route, departure, arrival, and everything else you need for a smooth, realistic flight.

Whether you're new to jets in MSFS or just looking to master the CJ4’s avionics, this guide covers it all.

In This Video:

We’re using the Working Title CJ4 mod (built into MSFS as of SU10+), which closely simulates real-world business jet avionics and workflow.
