Citation Sovereign The CiTaTion Sovereign. The ruling midSize jeT in inTerConTinenTal ComforT. Citation SoVEREiGn 1 iT deliverS more range, wiThin your range. Citation business jets share a well-earned reputation for practical high-performance. The midsize Citation Sovereign takes that reputation farther than ever before. Only the Sovereign combines true transcontinental range and the most spacious cabin in its class with acquisition and operating costs low enough to earn the quiet respect of even the most vocal of shareholders. In fact, the Sovereign is built to be the ultimate business tool, carrying nine passengers plus crew to more locations in more comfort with greater efficiency than any midsize business jet. The Citation Sovereign’s industry-leading performance and tremendous cabin space result in a great value for businesses looking to improve their reach.

In fact, it makes several. It says you prefer style that comes with a generous helping of substance. It says you value the extraordinary over the extravagant. It says you’re a worthy steward of your company’s resources. A case in point: the Sovereign’s gently swept laminar-flow wing and low drag coefficient give it exceptional takeoff and landing performance, allowing it to operate from hundreds of airports with shorter runways that other midsize aircraft simply can’t access. What’s more, you’ll rarely be on the ground longer than you want, because the Sovereign is engineered with reliability in mind. Its systems are simple, proven, hard to break, and easy to maintain, so you can count on being where you want to be, when you want to be there. And that always makes a good impression. Trailing-link main landing gear with anti-skid brakes, thrust reversers, and five speed brake/spoiler panels per wing make for smooth landings on short runways. The Sovereign’s two Pratt & Whitney PW306C engines utilize the latest airflow and materials technology. They not only meet Stage 4 noise level standards, but they also achieve greater fuel efficiency and longer maintenance intervals.

As the Robb Report said when naming it “Best of the Best” among super-midsize business jets, the Citation Sovereign “does a lot of things really well.” Transatlantic range. The largest external baggage compartment in its class. Stunning short-field performance. In fact, the Sovereign’s revolutionary wing design makes it possible to operate in difficult conditions that would keep many other jets in its category grounded, such as taking off from short runways at high altitudes on a hot day. And it does so with the kind of easy, responsive handling you expect from a Citation. the Long Ranger With a range of 2,847 nm (5,273 km), the Sovereign puts more destinations within reach.

The ulTimaTe flighT deCK for PiloTS. In flight, pilots need the right information at the right time, with nothing else to distract from the business at hand. The Sovereign delivers with the Cessna Intrinzic TM flight deck, powered by the Honeywell Primus Epic fully integrated avionics suite. Built around Cessna’s deep understanding of how pilots fly, Intrinzic TM creates the most intuitive flight deck environment available in business aviation, balancing exceptional functionality with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. This advanced system integrates some of the most modern navigation and flight control capabilities offered in a midsize business jet. Standard and optional equipment shown. Simulated flight information. Honeywell’s EPIC system lets you switch displayed information on the MFD easily via dual cursor control devices on the center pedestal. 11 Powered By honeywell PrimuS ePiC. In the Sovereign, the centerpiece of Intrinzic is the Honeywell Primus Epic system and its quartet of easy-to-read, interchangeable 8 x 10-inch (.20 x .25 m) Flat Panel LCD Units that present a wide range of essential data. For optimized situational awareness, two Primary Flight Displays (PFDs) depict aircraft attitude, altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, and heading references at the pilot and co-pilot stations. These PFDs flank two centrally mounted displays, one serving as a Multi-Function Display (MFD) and the other as an Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS) panel. Radio tuning is also presented on the MFD display. Reversionary display switching capability provides backup redundancy. Should you experience system events, the onboard aircraft diagnostics maintenance system captures them and allows maintenance technicians to review them after the flight. In addition, the FMS provides VOR-DME and DME-DME positioning, as well as VNAV and optional Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV) approach capabilities. Standard avionics include: » Four Modular Avionics Units (MAUs) » Four 8 x 10-inch Flat Panel LCD Units » Dual Multi-Function Control Display Units with Integrated FMS and GPS Receivers » Dual Automatic Flight Control Systems with Three-Axis Autopilot and Flight Director » Dual Air Data Modules
