LAKELAND, Florida, April 21, 2009 - Flight One Software, in partnership with Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced at Sun 'n Fun 2009 that they have released a high-fidelity PC-based simulation of the Cessna Citation entry level jet that runs on Microsoft's Flight Simulator X platform.

The Flight One Citation Mustang provides pilots with a cost-effective way to become familiar with the real-world aircraft and practice their skills. Flight One's product simulates the aircraft, while Flight Simulator X provides the underlying simulation engine, a 3D visual representation of the entire world, and other features. As a result, pilots can simulate complete Mustang flights from startup to shutdown in a dynamic, realistic environment -something not possible with standalone task-specific Computer-Based Training (CBT) software.

"Flight One Software has spent thousands of hours developing this incredibly realistic PC-based simulation of the real-world Citation Mustang," says Flight One Vice-President Jim Rhoads. "The aircraft has a long list of features that will impress anyone familiar with the real aircraft. It's built to perform very much like the real thing, and can be used to supplement real-world flight training or to just become familiar with Cessna's revolutionary single-pilot business jet."

The Flight One Citation Mustang features an accurate rendition of the real-world aircraft's avionics and systems that rivals that found in dedicated high-end training software. Included is a detailed simulation of the Garmin G1000 all-glass integrated avionics suite, with Mustang-specific functionality. Highlights include: three to-scale displays, realistic lateral and vertical autopilot modes, WAAS instrument approaches, Crew Alert System (CAS) messages, terrain rendering, Traffic Information Service (TIS) alerts, a full-color moving map on the Multi-Function Display (MFD), and a worldwide updatable database provided by Navigraph. Flight plans can be entered directly into the G1000, or imported from the Flight Simulator X flight planner.

The simulation also realistically models the performance and operation of the Citation Mustang's two next-generation, FADEC-equipped Pratt & Whitney Canada PW615F engines including Takeoff, Climb, and Cruise detents with automatically calculated power settings that match the real-world numbers. A working cabin pressurization system, adjustable panel lighting, an audio panel music player, and many more features make the Flight One Citation Mustang a must-have investment for anyone interested in the workings of the real-world aircraft.

Beyond the avionics and systems is a highly-detailed aircraft model. The exterior features six custom paint schemes, operable cabin and cargo doors (with corresponding CAS messages), visible icing effects on the windscreen and aircraft, and multiple external camera views. The interior model includes a highly detailed and fully functional 3D virtual cockpit, and a fully-animated cabin. Also available is a photorealistic 2D panel set with six main instrument panel views, and popup panels for the PFD, MFD, audio panel, autopilot, lower switch panels, throttle levers, and the MFD Controller.

Extensive documentation is provided with the product, and supplemental information is available via the Garmin Web site for advanced operations.

The first retail Citation Mustang entered service in April 2007, and the current fleet of Citation Mustangs totals 130 aircraft. The fleet has accumulated more than 19,000 flight hours, with the high-time aircraft logging more than 500 hours. The Mustang is now certified in 51 countries.

The six-place Citation Mustang has a top speed of 340 knots (630 kilometers per hour), a range of 1,150 nautical miles (2,130 kilometers) with NBAA IFR Reserves and a service ceiling of 41,000 feet (12,497 meters), enabling more efficient operations above most weather and commercial traffic.
