Cessna Citation SII Model Guide
Cessna Citation SII · Model Guide
Overview
The Cessna Citation SII is a twin-turbofan light jet built from 1985 to 1996 and listed with 8 to 10 seats. It uses Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4B engines. Typical resale listings show an eight-passenger club cabin with a belted lavatory, Sperry SPZ-500 flight controls and TKS wing anti-icing. Many have avionics or engine upgrades.
- Power is two Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4B turbofans, described as an improved 2,500 lbf engine.
- One spec sheet gives 15,100 lb max takeoff weight and 5,782 lb usable fuel. It quotes only 839 lb max payload, so passengers and fuel trade off.
- Example listings range from 5,411.9 to 11,590 airframe hours. Compare engine hot-section and overhaul times closely.
- Re-engine conversions exist. A Clifford FJ44-3 package is described at 2,820 lbs thrust with a 5000 hour TBO.

Design and wing
The S/II was refined from the Citation II. It has a reshaped wing, a thinner engine pylon and a longer pylon duck tail. Drag rise starts between 0.59 and 0.64 Mach. TKS anti-icing fluid (63 pounds) replaced the boots and bleed-air cuff. A spring interconnect links rudder and aileron.
Equipment to inspect
Listings cite thrust reversers, Freon air conditioning, CESCOM maintenance tracking, Garmin GTN 750/650 or MX20 avionics, and Sierra modifications (radome, glareshield annunciator, nose baggage). Interiors are typically a center club with refreshment center, tables and a belted lavatory. Verify each item and its paperwork.
Engine conversion option
A 2010 Clifford FJ44-3 conversion is described as a $2.395-million improvement package. It adds FADEC, new Williams engines and carbon fiber aft cowls. The seller claims cruise speed up nearly 20% and fuel flow down 30%. Treat these as seller claims and check the engine program (TAP BLUE or TAP Elite) and conversion records.
Safety notes
- Seller sheets say specifications are subject to buyer verification. Confirm times, weights and equipment by inspection and logbook review.
- The 1984 article says icing certification of the TKS system was not complete at press time. Confirm the TKS system's status and condition on the aircraft you are considering.
- Check the phase inspection history. One listing shows Phases 1 to 5 with future due dates, and another shows an overhaul and hot-section time for each engine.
