Meet Cessna Citation Longitude
The Longitude is Cessna's Model 700. It first flew in 2016 and received certification in 2019. The design uses the Latitude's fuselage cross-section with a longer cabin, paired with a new swept wing and Honeywell turbofan engines.
Its modern appearance does not imply that every primary control is fly-by-wire. The simulator operator's guide distinguishes mechanical pitch and roll controls, hydraulic roll spoilers and the electronically controlled rudder. Those differences make the Longitude a particularly useful aircraft for systems-minded readers.

Citation Longitude
Microsoft Flight Simulator
Edition / package Premium Deluxe
Three axes, different control paths
The Longitude guide describes mechanical pitch and roll controls, hydraulically operated roll spoilers and an electronically controlled rudder. Its simulated hydraulic failures can affect rudder, yaw-damper and spoiler authority. The guide also marks locks, disconnects and secondary trim as unmodelled in the documented version. Engine FADEC, the APU and fuel transfer have their own detailed sections.
