This heavy jet suitable for 10-22 passengers. This comfortable aircraft with maximum speed of 570 mph will carry you fast to the destination. One think must be considered is about the small airport for landing. In my country there are so little airport for landing. I think using helicopter is better than use this aircraft. But helicopter cannot load passengers as many as this aircraft can carry.
A routine training flight where we intentionally shut down the engine while we are over the airport. This gives the student "actual" emergency landing prctice and confidence to know that the plane still flies well without power. Just keep that nose down! On a 6000 foot runway the goal is to touchdown at the 4000 feet remaining mark.
This video was shot on Dec 14th after a hydraulic line failure in our 404 Titan forced us to make an emergency landing with the gear up. The emergency blow down bottle had a valve malfunction as well so there was no option available from that point on other than to find a place to sit it down. At the end of the slide down the runway there was a small fire on-board which I extinguished before exiting the aircraft with my crew member closely on my six . I'd like to send my thanks out to my crew member, the engineers in Wichita and to the ground crew mechanics at Mountain Home Airport in Arkansas for their assistance in relaying the communications with the engineers at Cessna, and for their mechanical knowledge that they shared with us during this unusual situation we found ourselves in.
