Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Eaglesoft Citation II SP/2. We hope you enjoy flying her as much as we
have enjoyed building this aircraft. The Citation II SP/2 is also known as the Model C-551, which is a singlepilot
certified, twin engine business jet. Our model represents a recently refurbished, 1985 aircraft, which has
already provided a long service life.
This “Introduction” chapter will introduce the 2d panel, mousepoints, and discuss briefly the major instruments.
Detailed information on instrumentation will be covered in Chapter Two: Operating Manual, and Chapter
Three: EHSI. Chapter Four will cover Specifications, Operating Limitations, and Weight & Balance.
Main Panel:
This is a view of the main 2d panel, after the Master Battery and Avionics have been turned on. There are three
“hotspots” on the 2d panel, described as follows:
1) Toggles on/off a zoomed view of the Engine/Electrical subpanels.
2) Toggles on/off a view of the Course and Heading subpanel, which is normally found on the center throttle
console.
3) Toggles on/off the Simicons, which themselves will open/close various subpanels and popups.

Introduction
Main Panel:
In the picture above, all three of the “hotspots” have been activated, so you can see the zoomed view of the
Engine/Electrical subpanel, the AP/YD Master + Pitch + Rudder (Yaw) electrical trim controls, and finally, the
Simicons subpanel.
Please take note that every switch, knob and button on this panel features “custom tooltips,” which will clearly
identify the control by name, and in the case of many, will provide a “digital readout” of the value (such as Airspeed,
Airspeed Bug, Altimeter Kohlsman setting [both inHg and MB], Heading, Course, etc.), so even though
the text on the panel is small, there is no reason for despair! It was decided that our dedication to producing an
authentic, true-to-scale representation of the actual aircraft’s panel was something we weren’t willing to abandon,
so I’ve taken great pains to make sure that every control is easily identifiable. Once you’ve become accustomed
to the panel, you might wish to switch off the “custom tooltips” via the FS Options menu. It is your
choice!

Getting Started Quickly:
The following procedure is not an official checklist, but rather is written so that the interminably anxious can
get the aircraft model started quickly and simply for their initial “test flight!” :)
1) Click on the X to open the Simicons subpanel, and click on the E-Arrow button to open the Eng/Elec panel.
2) Click on the “Airplane” button to open the Throttle Quad subpanel.

6) As the engine spools up, click TWICE just below the Right Power Lever to switch ON the fuel valves. The
knob will move UP to the Idle detent. (Note: if you have a CH Yoke or other “mixture control”, make
sure it is fully forward!)
7) After the Right engine is started, switch OFF the R Ignition switch, and turn ON the L Ignition switch.
8) Press the yellow L engine Starter button, and click TWICE just below the Left Power Lever to open fuel
flow, just as you did before.
