Overview

The Cessna Citation CJ1+ is a light jet built from 2005 to 2010. It seats 4 to 6 and has two Williams FJ44-1AP turbofans and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. The 2006 brochure lists a maximum cruise of 389 ktas, a 41,000 ft ceiling and 1,300 nm NBAA IFR range at maximum takeoff weight.

  • Payload with full fuel is only 615 lb (2006 brochure). Filling the seats means carrying less fuel and flying a shorter range.
  • Brochure max cruise is 389 ktas at 31,000 ft. Maximum certified ceiling is 41,000 ft.
  • Listed jets show engines on Williams TAP programs and airframes on CAMP/CESCOM or ProParts. Confirm enrollment status for any aircraft you consider.
  • Ask for full logs. The two listed jets show 3,082 and 4,477 hours and 3,354 and 3,366 landings.

About this document
How far can the Cessna Citation CJ1+ fly?

The 2006 brochure for the Cessna Citation CJ1+ lists NBAA IFR range of 1,300 nm with full fuel at maximum takeoff weight, with a 100 nm alternate. One broker listing shows 895 nm, so check the actual load.

How much can the Cessna Citation CJ1+ carry?

The Cessna Citation CJ1+ brochure shows 3,835 lb useful load but only 615 lb payload with full fuel. The same brochure lists 4 to 6 seats in the library entry. Fuel and passenger load must be traded against each other.

What runway does the Cessna Citation CJ1+ need?

The 2006 brochure gives a takeoff distance of 3,250 ft at sea level, ISA and max takeoff weight. Landing distance is 2,590 ft at max landing weight. Both assume a dry, level, hard runway with no wind.

Weights and payload

Brochure figures: max takeoff 10,700 lb, max ramp 10,800 lb, max landing 9,900 lb, max zero fuel 8,400 lb. Fuel capacity is 3,220 lb at 6.7 lb/gal. Typical basic operating weight is 6,965 lb, giving 3,835 lb useful load but only 615 lb payload with full fuel. These are typical 2006 brochure values, so check the actual aircraft's weight and balance.

What current listings show

A 2006 example (Nov 2024) had 4,477 hours, 3,366 landings and an asking price of $2,495,000. Its Document 02 and 08 inspections were listed as overdue, to be done before delivery. A 2007 example had 3,082 hours, two FMS, WAAS and ADS-B Out, with SB 525-34-84 and 525-34-90 complied with, plus a 2024 paint refresh.

Winglet modification

One winglet product for the CJ1+ lists a 79 lb net weight increase, 400 lb higher max zero fuel weight and a 500 lb increase to the hot/high weight-altitude-temperature (WAT) table. If an aircraft has a performance modification, get the supplementary flight manual procedures and confirm the pilots have trained on them.

Safety notes

  • A 2019 AAIB serious incident involved a modified CJ1+. An electrical failure in an added system caused an uncommanded roll, and the pilot did not know the supplementary procedures.
  • A 2010 AAIB accident: a CJ1+ rejected its takeoff, both brakes failed, the right brake caught fire and it ran off the runway. The brakes were probably at least partly on during the takeoff run.
  • Overdue inspections appear in one listing. Have an independent pre-purchase inspection done, as the broker's own disclaimer advises.
