CESSNA Citation II/SP Model Guide
CESSNA Citation II/SP · Model Guide
Overview
CESSNA Citation II/SP is a twin-jet business aircraft. The documents supplied contain no type-level specifications. They include one 1981 sales listing (S/N 551-0360), an avionics display-upgrade bulletin and an airport study. This guide covers what that example shows and what to check, and it treats the listing as one aircraft, not the whole type.
- Sample listing: a 1981 aircraft, S/N 551-0360, with 9,881.9 hours and 13,005 landings, powered by Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4 engines.
- Engine times in the sample differ widely: Engine 1 has 1,187.6 hours SNEW; Engine 2 has 9,320.6 hours SNEW and 2,033.9 hours SOH.
- The listing is introductory only and tells buyers to rely on their own inspection to verify correctness.
- The type uses four ED-800 CRT displays; an LCD replacement (CMA-6800) is offered, so check which displays are fitted.

Airframe, engines and interior (sample aircraft)
The sample 1981 CESSNA Citation II/SP has 9,881.9 airframe hours, 13,005 landings and two Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4 engines. Engine 2 shows 12,135 cycles SNEW and Engine 1 shows 993 cycles SNEW. Major services were done by Cessna SAT and tracked on CESCOM. The interior is an executive seven-passenger aft club layout with an aft enclosed lavatory.
Avionics and equipment in the sample
Fitted: Garmin GTN-650 Comm/Nav/GPS, dual Collins ADF-60A and DME-40, Sperry FZ-500 autopilot/flight director, Honeywell IHAS with KGP-850 TAWS/TCAS, RDR-2000 weather radar and Stormscope. Also thrust reversers, Freon air conditioning, dual angle of attack, a lead acid battery, WAAS and RVSM certification. Confirm each item is installed and working.
Display upgrade cost context
The 2020 bulletin lists Citation II and IISP with four ED-800 CRT displays each. The CMA-6800 LCD replacement needs an STC, priced at $4,000 in the bulletin, and each old ED-800 gets a $5,000 trade-in credit. Optional extended coverage costs $12 per flight hour per display, up to five displays, on a three-year term. The bulletin projects a 15,000-hour MTBF and gives a 12-month warranty.
Safety notes
- Verify engine hours, cycles and overhaul status in the logs; the sample's two engines had very different times.
- Confirm which avionics and TCAS/TAWS are installed and the RVSM status; the listing gives no guarantees.
- Check whether the aircraft still has ED-800 CRT displays; the bulletin cites looming CRT obsolescence.
