Hi,
I just tried my first flight with the citation x. My flight was from Toronto to Boston. My cruise altitude was flight level 500. Everything whent fine until I hit around flight level 490. After that, my airspeed dropped dramatically and I stalled. My altitude then began wildly fluctuating up and down. My airspeed was between 70 and 150 Knots, which is much too low. Can anyone give me any idea what happened? This aircraft is supposed to be able to fly this high. I did all the checklists and performed fuel loading operations. I should also say that my speed began dropping slowly after I hit around fl400.
