How much runway the Citation CJ4 needs to dispatch: the manual figure and what the charter (RBAC 135) rule requires.
Dispatches under charter rules at 206 of 465 Brazilian public runways when dry, and at 105 when wet.
Verdict per regime (private, charter dry and wet) across 465 Brazilian public runways, with the margin in meters.
Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.
Typical factory configuration (curated data). The drawing below is schematic and at approximate scale; the actual layout varies by interior and year.
Launched in 2010 and updated in 2017 with the Gen2 version, the CJ4 is the largest and fastest member of the CitationJet family. It received the Garmin G3000 in 2020 (CJ4 Gen2), Williams FJ44-4A engines and a stretched fuselage that visibly sets it apart from the CJ3+.
The CJ4 combines single-pilot certification (a rarity in this class) with a cabin for 8 passengers and an NBAA IFR range of ~2,165 nm, capable of flying SP-Lima or Manaus-SP nonstop. For corporate owner-flown operations, it is the sweet spot between the Phenom 300E and the Praetor 500.
Unlike the smaller CJs, the CJ4 offers a lavatory with a full door and a dedicated galley at the entrance, a real differentiator against the Phenom 300E on formal corporate missions and high-end charters.
The CJ4 cruises at Mach 0.77 (~451 kt), below the Phenom 300E's 464 kt. On SP-MIA routes with a tech stop, the difference can reach 15-20 minutes, a factor Embraer salespeople exploit in direct comparisons.
In 2017, pilot Bill Harrelson completed a round-the-world flight in a single-pilot CJ4, a feat that reinforced the reliability of the Williams FJ44 engines and of the platform for long, demanding missions.
