Cabin, payload and baggage
The standard cabin is six-place with a forward refreshment center and club seating. An aft belted toilet can serve as a seventh seat. Full-fuel payload is 868 lb. Baggage totals 1,100 lb: 400 lb in the nose, 100 lb in the aft cabin and 600 lb (50 cu ft) in the aft compartment.
Performance and systems
Quoted figures: 416 kt maximum cruise at light weights, about 3,800 fpm climb on two engines and about 1,100 fpm on one. Balanced field takeoff is 3,450 ft, demonstrated crosswind 26 kt, and approach speeds run 105 to 113 kt. Fuel heaters are standard, so Prist is not needed. Avionics are Collins Pro Line 21.
What to check when buying
Confirm engine status: the example listing shows Williams TAP Blue and Cessna Pro Parts enrollment. In 2001 the FJ44-2C mature TBO was projected at 3,500 hours. Review the inspection records: one CESCOM report on a CJ2 (4620:45 hours, 3323 landings) shows Inspection Document 1 overdue by 28:08. Check avionics upgrades and the cost of the copilot PFD option.
Safety notes
- Certified for single-pilot operation under FAR Part 23, though many systems go beyond Part 23 toward Part 25 standards, per the AOPA article.
- The listing shows max takeoff weight of 12,500 lb versus 12,375 lb in the article. Verify limits against the individual airplane's documents.
- The brokerage listing tells buyers to arrange their own independent pre-purchase inspection; specifications are subject to verification.
