Cessna Citation CJ3 Market Position
The Citation CJ3 brought Garmin G3000 touch-screen avionics to the light jet segment. Its 1,875-nautical-mile range and Williams FJ44-3A engines deliver efficient regional performance.

Performance Profile
The Cessna Citation CJ3 cruises at 416 knots with a published range of 2,040 nautical miles under standard reserves. These numbers support most regional missions of two to three hours without refueling. Power comes from 2x Williams FJ44-3A. An operating ceiling of 45,000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather and turbulence.
Mission Profile
Light jets excel at missions under 1,500 nautical miles with smaller passenger groups. The Cessna Citation CJ3 typically seats 9 passengers in a cabin that prioritizes speed and efficiency over cabin volume. For owner-operators and small flight departments, this category delivers the lowest cost per seat-mile in the jet segment.
