Overview

Summary

The Citation CJ4 Gen3 expands the CJ line's proposal without losing its vocation as a fast and direct aircraft to operate. Its 2,165 nm of range and 451 ktas of top speed put it in a very strong range for high-frequency corporate flights, while the longer cabin helps sustain a more convincing experience for those who spend hours on board. It's a light jet for those who want high productivity without giving up a more mature reading of the product.

CJ family at the highest level

The CJ4 Gen3 preserves the agility of the line, but delivers a more mature cabin and cockpit.

Strong operating rhythm

Range, speed and balanced takeoff favor an intense corporate routine.

Technology that appears in use

Garmin G3000 PRIME, autothrottles and Autoland elevate the operating experience.

Cabin

Objective cabin and features

With around 5.28 m of usable length, the CJ4 Gen3's cabin delivers more breath than many buyers imagine when they think of the CJ family. The space does not transform the plane into midsize, but it helps to carry up to 10 passengers with a more comfortable feeling on board. The finish and internal organization were worked on to make the cabin more aligned with frequent executive use, which makes a difference in tight schedules and repeated steps throughout the week.

Performance

Operation numbers and features

The 2,165 nm range, 451 ktas maximum speed, 45,000 ft ceiling and 3,410 ft takeoff help the CJ4 Gen3 combine speed with good mission flexibility. Garmin G3000 PRIME, Emergency Autoland, autothrottles, new winglets and software updates form a technical package that brings the model closer to a higher level within light jets.

Analysis for purchase

Reading for the purchasing executive

For purchase, the CJ4 Gen3 makes more sense when the mission calls for a high rate of use, certified single-pilot operation and a cabin that goes beyond the basics of the category. It is a very coherent plane for companies and owners who want speed, good image and a clearly updated cockpit.
