Cessna Citation

I am still new to the game and learning the ropes.

I enjoy flying with the Cessna Citation X. I find it easy to maneuver yet still presenting some challenges.

Can anyone help me out with possible settings for takeoff/cruising/landing for speed, flaps, trim, etc?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I love flying the Cessna Citation X as well!
For takeoff I always use the first flap setting. For landing flaps full.
I like to trim the Citation about 30%. My touchdown speed is about 105 knots.

Is it possible for you to switch to the TBM? It’s a great aircraft for the first steps and there are established tutorials about it. Would be easier.

How far from landing do you go to full flaps? Do you deploy when you’re right above the run way?

You should aim to have full flaps around 130knots and anywhere from 7-4nm from the runway.

Flaps full just a short time before touchdown, maybe 3-4nm. I start deploying them before entering the cone, it depends on the speed (exept I‘m doing pattern work)
