Hi Janina, when I was on the west coast, making the real money:) I bought in to a share arrangement on a Cessna Citation X which was a fantastic aircraft. Max speed was mach 0.96 and for a long time it was the fastest private aircraft available, I believe Gulf-Stream may have beaten that record but I’m not sure. The plane was all engine and smaller than your normal heavy jet, seated 7 to 8 comfortably although I couldn’t stand up straight being 6-6, had a small conference table and adjustable seats and we had an Internet service as well that was much better than the commercial flights. San Jose to Rhode Island in around the 4 hour mark with a 3750 mile range so would get me anywhere I wanted to go if I wanted to spring for the maintenance and fuel costs. Control surfaces were all glass and there was a surprising amount of TTS in the package we had which I remember thinking was odd at the time but the pilot explained that they get a lot of messages by ear while they watch critical displays. Bringing it back on topic I remember when we upgraded our pilots with iPads so they could file all their paperwork electronically like the big boys. Good times. The other thing that was different was the cruising altitude was quite high, about 50K feet which as it was explained to me was part of the design so you burned less fuel and possible do to the power to weight ratio. Flying it was more like being passive and just calling in to the towers at the right time, the computers did most of the work although the pilot making the nice money was there in the event something went sideways. In some cases we had to have two actually]_). Oh and separate air circulation for the pilot and the passenger compartment which had real benefits flying out of California that I’ll leave to the readers imagination. (No smoke in the cockpit). I took off once out of Westerly RI and a few times checked in to different traffic centers. It’s amazing how much of the flight though was completely automated. I have to admit flying a Cessna 172 was more involved and fun since you actually had input on the controls.
