CE-560 NORMAL CHECKLIST
Cessna Citation XLS+ · Checklist
Overview
This document is a normal checklist for the Cessna Citation XLS+, designated as CE-560. It serves as a procedural guide for pilots to ensure all necessary pre-flight, in-flight, and post-flight checks are completed systematically. The checklist includes critical items that must be verified before starting the engines, during taxi, takeoff, and landing phases. It is designed to enhance safety and operational efficiency by providing a structured approach to aircraft operation. This checklist is essential for pilots to maintain compliance with operational standards and to ensure the aircraft is in a safe and ready state for flight.
- Ensure oxygen masks are checked and operational before flight.
- Verify that the landing gear shows three green lights before takeoff.
- Set the cabin pressure and temperature controls to auto before starting the engines.
- Confirm that the transponder is operational and set before takeoff.
- Check that the flaps are set for landing and speed brakes are retracted before 50 feet AGL.

Preflight Checks
The preflight checks include verifying the operational status of flashlights, oxygen systems, circuit breakers, and fuel boost pumps. Pilots must ensure that the control lock is off, the standby gyro is powered on, and the cabin pressure is set. Additionally, the parking brake must be set, and the landing gear indicators should show three green lights.
Before Start Procedures
Before starting the engines, pilots must ensure the cabin door is closed, chocks are removed, and the beacon and navigation lights are on. The battery switches should be checked, and the master avionics power should be off. The cabin press and temperature controls must be set to auto.
Takeoff Procedures
Before takeoff, the checklist requires the pilot to verify that the ignition is on, anti-ice systems are set as required, and the transponder is operational. The engine instruments must be checked, and the departure runway must be verified. The flaps and trims should be set according to the takeoff data.
Landing Procedures
During landing, the checklist emphasizes checking the landing gear, ensuring it is down and three green lights are illuminated. The flaps should be set for landing, and the speed brakes must be retracted prior to reaching 50 feet AGL. The autopilot and yaw damp should be turned off before landing.
Shutdown Procedures
After landing, the checklist includes steps for shutting down the aircraft, such as turning off the avionics, exterior lights, and ensuring the throttles are in the cutoff position. The battery switch should be turned off, and the clock should be zeroed.
Safety notes
- Always verify that the cabin door is closed and the light is out before starting the engines.
- Ensure that all circuit breakers are checked before flight to prevent system failures.
