D-CAPB Aircraft Overview
D-CAPB is a Cessna Citation V registered in Germany with serial number 560-0806. This midsize jet serves the core of the business aviation market, balancing cabin space, range, and operating cost in a way that makes it the most common category for corporate flight departments. The aircraft is associated with Aerowest Flugcharter Gmbh, registered through the LBA.
Cessna Citation V Market Position
The Citation V was Cessna's transitional midsize jet, bridging the Citation II and the Excel. Its Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5A engines and 1,770-nautical-mile range serve regional corporate missions. The type is popular in the pre-owned market as an affordable entry into midsize jet ownership.
Performance Profile
At 426 knots, the Cessna Citation V cruises efficiently across routes up to 1,920 nautical miles. This covers most domestic city pairs nonstop and reaches select international destinations from southern U.S. airports. Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5A. The aircraft operates at altitudes up to 45,000 feet.
Mission Profile
Midsize jets handle the bulk of corporate aviation missions: day trips, multi-city tours, and regional travel where airlines cannot match the schedule. The Cessna Citation V seats up to 8 passengers with a cabin that allows standing and provides enough volume for presentations, meals, or rest on flights under four hours.
Charter & Availability
D-CAPB is registered in Germany under the LBA. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar Cessna Citation V platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
Midsize jets offer the best balance of cost and capability for most private aviation missions. A common mistake is chartering a heavy jet for a route a midsize aircraft handles easily. The difference in hourly rate between the two categories can exceed $3,000 per flight hour.
