NECESSARY INFORMATION FOR AIRPLANES CONDUCTING SPECIAL OPERATIONS AND
FOR AIRPLANES EQUIPPED WITH SPECIFIC OPTIONS. OPERATORS SHOULD REFER TO
SECTION V TO ENSURE THAT ALL LIMITATIONS AND PROCEDURES APPROPRIATE FOR
THEIR AIRPLANE ARE OBSERVED.

SERIAL NUMBER
On all Citation Model 525C airplanes, the serial number is stamped into the airplane identification
nameplate. This manual uses serial numbers to describe airplane effectivities.
FLIGHT MANUAL PART NUMBER
Each page in the basic FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual contains the part number of the
manual and the page status of each page. Refer to the following example:

Basic FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual:

525C FM - 00

REVISIONS
As new information becomes available for your airplane, revisions will be issued to all registered
owners. It is the pilots responsibility to make sure that this FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual is
complete and current at all times.

REVISED MATERIAL INDICATORS

A bar will extend the full length of deleted, new, or revised text added on new or previously existing
pages. This bar will be located adjacent to the applicable text in the margin on the left side of the
page.

A bar in the footer will indicate a revision to the footer, a new page, format or spelling/grammar
changes and/or that information has slipped to or from that page.

A bar located adjacent to the figure number in the margin on the left side of the page will be used to
indicate that the figure number only has changed.

An asterisk located at the end of a figure number will be used to indicate that an illustration has been
revised or is all new material (Ex: Figure 3-810-2*).

All revised pages will carry the revision number opposite the page number on the applicable page. A
list of revisions is located at the beginning of the Log of Effective Pages.

SYMBOLS USED FOR PROCEDURE DIVISION

Symbols are used to mark different parts of procedures. A decision must be made by the pilot to
identify the applicable part of the procedure. After the initial choice has been made, a further division
of the procedure is possible. In that case, a second choice must be made, etc. When a choice has
been made, all remaining actions, consequences, and references are listed. When the procedure is
no longer required, this will be indicated by PROCEDURE COMPLETED.
The division symbols are identified as follows:

FIRST DIVISION
SECOND DIVISION
THIRD DIVISION
O FOURTH DIVISION

DEFINITIONS
Performance definitions are available in Section IV; the remaining definitions are listed as follows:

WARNING
Operating procedures, techniques, etc., which may result in
personal injury or loss of life if not carefully followed.

CAUTION
Operating procedures, techniques, etc., which may result in damage to
equipment if not carefully followed.

NOTE
An operating procedure, technique, etc., which is considered essential to emphasize.

LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Land at the nearest suitable airport. Unless otherwise specified, use Normal Procedures for
Approach, Before Landing, and Landing. Extreme situations can require an off-airport landing.
Primary consideration is the safety of occupants.

LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICAL

Land at a suitable airport. Unless otherwise specified, use Normal Procedures for Approach, Before
Landing, and Landing. The primary consideration is the urgency of the emergency or abnormal
situation. Continuation to the destination or an alternate with appropriate service facilities may be an
option.

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
An emergency procedure is one requiring the use of special systems and/or regular systems in order
to protect the occupants and the airplane from serious or critical harm. These procedures require
immediate recognition and corrective or compensatory action by the crew.

ABNORMAL PROCEDURES
An abnormal procedure is one requiring the use of special systems and/or the alternate use of
regular systems in order to maintain an acceptable level of airworthiness. These procedures require
immediate crew awareness and subsequent crew action may be required.

NORMAL PROCEDURES
A normal procedure is one which may be thought of as routine in day-to-day operation.

DEFINITIONS (Continued)
UNUSABLE FUEL
Unusable Fuel is the fuel remaining in the tanks when the fuel quantity indicator reads zero.
Unusable Fuel is not usable in flight.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

WARNING
A circuit breaker that has tripped may be pushed back in a
maximum of one time if directed by the specific procedure or if, in
the judgment of the pilot, the safe completion of the flight requires
the use of the affected system.

PULL
If the circuit breaker is in, pull the circuit breaker out. If the circuit breaker is out, leave the circuit
breaker out.
RESET
If the circuit breaker is in, pull the circuit breaker out and then push it in. If the circuit breaker is out,
push the circuit breaker in (one time only).
IN
If the circuit breaker is in, leave the circuit breaker in. If the circuit breaker is out, push the circuit
breaker in (one time only).

PAGE APPROVAL STATUS

Those pages that are labeled with FAA APPROVED in the footer contain information which has
been approved by the FAA.
Those pages that are labeled ADVISORY in the footer contain guidance information that has not
been approved by the FAA or EASA.
