Citation II/V, the highest-production light jet of the 1980s-90s. Includes the S/II and S/V variants.
How much runway the Citation II needs to dispatch: the manual figure and what the charter (RBAC 135) rule requires.
Dispatches under charter rules at 356 of 465 Brazilian public runways when dry, and at 253 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 1978 as an evolution of the Citation I, the II added 1.07 meters of cabin, more powerful JT15D-4 engines and extended range, becoming the benchmark of the category.
In 1989 Cessna launched the Citation V (model 560), with JT15D-5A engines, an even longer fuselage and range close to 1,900nm, marking the evolutionary peak of the 550 family.
Because it belongs to the original Citation family (Citation I, II, S/II and V), the largest light jet fleet in the world, it has a wide technical support network, parts supply and qualified mechanics, which reduces AOG and increases dispatch reliability.
The II/SP (model 551) and S/II variants can be flown single-pilot (the S/II under an exemption), reducing crew cost by about USD 80,000/year and expanding operational flexibility.
Aircraft that have not been retrofitted still fly with the analog Collins Pro Line II avionics of the 80s, requiring an upgrade to the Garmin G600 TXi (about USD 250,000) to meet ADS-B Out requirements and modern operation.
The Citation Bravo (1996-2006) is technically a Citation II with PW530A FADEC engines, EFIS avionics and better performance, and was the last evolution of the 550 family before the CJ took its place.

The Cessna Citation II is out of production, so there is no factory price. On the used market the median is around US$ 725,000, varying with year and flight hours; see real listings on this model's Market tab. Reference value as of 06/2026.
The maximum range is 1900 nm (1,900 NM · 3,519 km).
Cruise speed is 385 kt, equivalent to 713 km/h, or Mach 0.705.
The Cessna Citation II seats up to 10 passengers, crew not included.
There are 45 active units in the RAB-ANAC (data as of 11/10/2026): operational, mark reservation or suspended, excluding cancelled registrations.
35 distinct operators operate 37 units of the Cessna Citation II in the RAB-ANAC: 8 in air taxi (RBAC 135) and 29 in private operation (RBAC 91), concentrated in MG, SP and GO (data as of 11/10/2026). Another 8 units are under registration reservation (tail number reserved, not yet operating). Name, fleet and state of each operator are on this model's Analytics tab and in the operators directory.
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 4,578 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 2,489 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves) plus US$ 417,688 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance), under Jet Tracker's default assumptions (Southeast Brazil, in-house crew, 200 h/year).
