Citation CJ2+ Citation CJ2+ 1 The CiTaTion CJ2+. MORE OF ALL THE THINGS YOU LOVE ABOUT THE CJ SERIES. 3 PeRFeCTLY SUiTeD FoR ThoSe Who WanT To TaKe ThinGS To The neXT LeVeL. Every so often, idea and execution come together to create a singularly thrilling experience. That’s the Citation CJ2+. Whether you need a powerful business tool with a small fiscal footprint, or you simply love to fly and want to take the next step up in performance, the single-pilot capable CJ2+ delivers the goods. We improved on many of the best features of the CJ series—excellent landing and takeoff capability, a spacious, comfortable cabin, more speed, greater range, and a higher ceiling—and put them all in one very owner-friendly aircraft. Of course, buying into the exceptional value of a CJ2+ doesn’t just make for a highly intelligent travel decision. It places you among those who fly some of the smartest business jets in the world. The Citation CJ2+ combines excellent handling characteristics, low pilot workload, and superb performance into one of the most sensibly stylish, single-pilot capable light jets ever. And because it shares a type rating with other jets in the CJ series, you can make your move and still feel right at home. Citation CJ2+ 5 THE CLIMB-FASTER, CRUISE-FASTER, GET-TO-WHERE-YOU-WANT-TO-BE-FASTER BUSINESS JET. Citation CJ2+ 7 The RULeS oF aTTRaCTion SaY noThinG aBoUT ThiS. When you first see the sleek silhouette and high T-tail of a CJ2+ on the ramp, if your heart pounds a little faster, it’s probably for good reason. You’re looking at the successful marriage of form and function, of practicality and performance. That nearly straight, natural laminar-flow wing allows for increased speeds at higher altitudes and lower speeds on approach. In both cases, the CJ2+ gets some very powerful help from twin Williams FJ44 FADEC-equipped turbofans that are flat-rated to reduce wear and tear. And if superior build quality is your idea of beauty, then the CJ2+ is a knockout. Because, like all Citations, its airframe is so robust it has no life limit. Take it for test flight, and you may decide to write a few rules of your own. BEttER EnGinEERinG, LESS WoRRY Sometimes the height of sophistication is simplicity. The CJ2+’s mechanically simple flight control systems reduce complexity, improve reliability, and lower costs. ManY HaPPY LanDinGS Low approach speeds, large Fowler-type flaps, and speed brakes on both upper and lower wing surfaces help set up a smooth landing. Trailing link main landing gear and anti-skid brakes finish the job. GRoWn-UPS nEED PLaY DaYS, too The 8-passenger CJ2+ is hardly all business, all the time. Its 65 cubic feet of space between two baggage compartments means the golf bags, skis, and other gear have room to go too. Citation CJ2+ 9 iT’S a WhoLe neW WoRLD. The CJ series was created to provide operators with the performance advantages of a twin-jet and the simplicity and economy of a turboprop. The CJ2+ delivers all that and more. For example, on a typical 1,000-mile mission, the CJ2+ will use about the same amount of fuel as the turboprop while flying at above-the-weather altitudes and arriving more than an hour earlier. Factor in more useful load, FADEC-managed engines, a seriously comfortable cabin environment, and a full-fuel NBAA IFR range of 1,613 nm (2.987 km), and the CJ2+ emerges as one of the most compelling light jets in the category.

Citation CJ2+ heaVY FUnCTionaLiTY, noW WiTh a LiGhTeR LoaD. After more than 80 years, we’ve come to know a thing or two about building aircraft for single-pilot operation. Much of it we learned from aviation enthusiasts like you. So when we laid out the CJ2+ flight deck, user-friendliness got as much attention as the ability to access key information quickly and efficiently. The Collins Pro Line 21 fully-integrated avionics suite provides all the flight information you could ask for—from graphical weather data, electronic charts, and GPS positioning to engine status and crew alerts—all displayed on three large Active Matrix LCD flat-screens. Informative? Absolutely. Intimidating? Not a bit. In fact, so many of the CJ2+’s checklist items are automated, your workload is cut down dramatically. Standard and optional equipment shown.

ShoRT-FieLD FRienDLY. Like the entire CJ series, the combination of its advanced, straight-wing design and powerful twin engines gives the CJ2+ exceptional short field performance. At maximum takeoff weight, it can operate with as little as 3,360 ft (1,024 m) of runway. That means a greater number of smaller airports are accessible, giving you more mission flexibility and the ability to fly into less congested airports closer to your final destination. Citation CJ2+ 17 iT ShoULD aLWaYS Be a PLeaSURe DoinG BUSineSS. First impression: the spacious and modern environment of the CJ2+ cabin feels like it belongs in a business jet costing millions more. Luxurious furnishings and handcrafted case goods bathe in the ambient glow of indirect, long-lasting LED lighting and ample natural light from large windows. Configurations range from a center-club arrangement seating six to options that can accommodate up to eight passengers. The standard configuration includes a full-size forward refreshment center, a storage cabinet, two foldaway executive tables, and a lavatory. And if it all works together beautifully, that’s one of the advantages of having interior designers and craftsmen on staff who know the cabin environment intimately. In its most popular configuration, the CJ2+ provides seating for seven, with six fully-adjustable seats and the option of a side-facing seat opposite a forward slimline refreshment center. If operated with a single pilot, the co-pilot seat can accommodate an additional passenger. Citation CJ2+ 19 Digitally-controlled pressurization, dual-zone temperature control, and advanced soundproofing keep your guests comfortable and the cabin quiet.
