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.

Cessna / Wikipedia - 1999 - Replaced by the Encore
Production ended in 1999 after about 279 units, giving way to the Citation Encore with PW535A FADEC engines.

Lineage
Model with no documented lineage in the manufacturer's line.
Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Short runway operation
Takeoff distance of around 3,250 ft (MTOW) allows access to secondary airports unfeasible for competing light jets of the time.
Cessna AFM
Limitations
Cabin without stand-up
Internal height of about 1.45m forces passengers to remain seated, a typical limitation of the Citation V/Ultra/Encore family.
Curiosities
Straight wing sets it apart from the modern line
Keeps the straight wing of the Citation S/II (no sweep), which limits cruise speed to Mach 0.74 but reduces structural maintenance cost.
