Learn what all the buttons, switches, and systems do in the Cessna 414AW by Flysimware. This video tutorial will explain nearly every switch and system associated with the aircraft. Flysimware's Cessna 414 systems and switches will be explained in this video to make the airplane easier to fly and understand what is happening when knobs are turned and switched are turned on.

The engines on the Cessna 414AW (with the RAM conversion) are Continental TSIO-550s. Did you know those letters and numbers actually have a significance? They do, and that explanation occurs very early in the video.

Ever wonder why the airplane starts to lose power as it climbs even though it is turbocharged? How is the airplane pressurized? How is the pressurization set? What do turbochargers do? How to turbochargers work? What do the heating and air conditioning switches do? All that and more will be answered in this video.

There are more videos on how to do RNAV approaches, circling approaches, climb, cruise, and descent planning in the Flysimware Cessna 414 available to channel members of the Private Pilot tier or higher -    / @thecorporatepilotdad  

In addition to 414 videos there are channel member videos on how to fly the Citation Longitude in MSFS. Currently, a video series covering each system and switch in the Longitude is being worked on. Two videos are finished and uploaded with more on the way soon. That playlist can be found here:    • Learn the Longitude | MSFS  

This video was made with version 2.9.0 which is available for Microsoft Flight Simulator on PC and Xbox.
