Mark,
What on earth do you do with 7 of these things?

My thoughts were...who blows the gear without dropping the handle? Ha! Spoiler alert - I do.
We were issued runway heading departure with max performance to 3,000’. Boom, birds and double engine failure. I begin maneuvering back to the field visually. Right seater fumbles the checklist while focusing outside. I can’t get him to look at the one right next to the gear handle. By this time I need the drag of the gear (no SBs available without hydraulics). I pull gear control breaker, blow them down, land and then end up on emer brake handle while I chuckle at the excellence of the instructor and the scenario. Gotcha! That Joel is sneaky like that.

Mike it correct. I select the one that fits the mission best. If that’s taken then I take the second best. Etc. Always have options.

You wrote that the "II is a much better airplane that the I". Can you explain your reasoning behind the statement? 1) Bigger cabin, significantly bigger 2) 35 kts faster 3) climbs better 4) 400nm more range 5) same or better short field performance 6) burns negligibly more fuel (maybe 15GPH) 7) Less expensive to buy 8 power brakes w/ antiskid

Downside is you need 500 turbine hours to fly iit alone

Yea, the dual eng failure changes the whole single pilot QRH discussion, sorry, thought you just had the hyd annunciation. I remember a FSI instructor giving us the option to motor one of the starters during a dual eng fail, just long enough to get the gear down. You get the hydraulics back on that side while it’s motoring. Just don’t motor it so long you drain the batt!

Some of the legacy Citation manuals talk about getting hydraulic pressure just from the fan windmilling above 150 KIAS. Attachment: 560-glide-1.png The implication is that you get enough hydraulics to actuate gear and flaps if you keep 150 KIAS or greater without having to motor the engine.

I’ve never flown the older models but I know on the CJ3 and CJ4 with the Williams engines, the starter turns the N2 shaft.

I believe you’ve got your N1 and N2 mixed up there.
Also - note the “550” has electric flaps vs the 560 you referenced.

I’ve never left my flaps down after parking and had to motor an engine to bring the flaps up.
