The Continent's First Look At Cessna's Newest Bizjet
Cessna is giving Europe its first look at the Citation CJ4 at
the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibit (EBACE),
where Monday the company announced it expects to receive EASA
certification for the airplane by the end of the year. FAA
certification for the CJ4 was granted in March with the first
customer delivery in April.
Cessna Citation CJ4
The Citation CJ4 is the newest and largest member of the popular
CJ family of business jets consisting of the Citation CJ1+, CJ2+
and CJ3. The CJ4 is FAA-approved for single-pilot operations and
shares a common pilot type rating with the other CJs. (A pilot
rated to fly any one of the CJs is rated to fly them all.) Retail
price in 2010 dollars for a typically equipped Citation CJ4 is $9
million.
The Citation CJ4 has a range of just over 2,000 nautical miles
and a top speed of 453 knots – both numbers greater than
originally announced in 2006. It has a takeoff roll of 3,130 feet
at maximum takeoff weight and is capable of a direct climb to
45,000 feet in just 28 minutes.
The Citation CJ4 features a four-screen Collins Pro Line 21
avionics suite, new Williams FJ44-4A electronically controlled
(FADEC) engines, and it debuts the Rockwell Collins Venue cabin
management system.
Standard on the CJ4 are dual Mode S Diversity transponders with
enhanced surveillance and ADS-B out capability, TCAS II, Class A
TAWS, multi-scan weather radar, broadcast weather and a maintenance
diagnostic system.
