The Cessna Citation CJ2+ is a popular light business jet that offers a step up in cabin size and performance from the CJ1+.
Here's an overview of its key features and specifications relevant to charter and acquisition through JETVIP:
Key Features:
- Increased Cabin Size: The CJ2+ features a longer cabin than the CJ1+, typically accommodating 6-7 passengers in a standard configuration. This provides more legroom and overall space for a comfortable journey. The cabin often includes a club seating arrangement, allowing for face-to-face meetings, along with fold-out tables. A belted lavatory is standard in the aft cabin.
- Enhanced Performance: The CJ2+ is powered by more powerful Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines with FADEC (Full Authority Digital Engine Control), providing increased thrust compared to the CJ1+. This translates to improved takeoff and climb performance, higher cruise speeds, and a greater range.
- Modern Avionics: The standard Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite is a significant feature, offering pilots advanced navigation, communication, and situational awareness tools through large LCD displays. This system often includes an integrated Flight Management System (FMS) and electronic charts.
- Improved Range: The CJ2+ offers a greater range than the CJ1+, allowing for longer non-stop flights and access to more distant destinations.
- Efficient Operation: Like other Citation jets, the CJ2+ is known for its efficient operation and relatively low operating costs for its class.
- Single-Pilot Certified: The CJ2+ is certified for single-pilot operation, offering flexibility for owner-operators.
- Short Runway Capability: While requiring a slightly longer runway than the CJ1+, the CJ2+ still offers good short runway performance, expanding airport accessibility.
