Cessna CJ2 For Sale

The Cessna Citation CJ2 (Model 525A) is a light business jet manufactured by Cessna in Wichita, Kansas. First delivered in 2000, it is a stretched and more powerful development of the original CitationJet CJ1. The CJ2 was succeeded by the CJ2+ in 2006, which offered improvements to range, payload, and cockpit avionics.

Powered by two Williams FJ44-2C engines, each producing 2,490 pounds of thrust, the CJ2 has a range of approximately 1,613 nautical miles with four passengers. The aircraft seats up to eight passengers in a cabin measuring 15 feet 4 inches long, 4 feet 10 inches wide, and 4 feet 9 inches tall. It is certified for single pilot operation, making it a practical choice for owner operators.

Specifications and Market Position

The CJ2 cruises at 418 knots at its optimal altitude of 45,000 feet. Its balanced field takeoff distance is approximately 3,360 feet, giving it access to smaller regional airports across the UK, Europe, and North America. The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite provides a modern glass cockpit with multifunction displays. The CJ2+ variant added Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines and increased maximum takeoff weight, extending range to 1,780 nautical miles.

Buying a Pre Owned Cessna CJ2

The CJ2 and CJ2+ offer an affordable entry into the Citation jet family. Key inspection areas include Williams FJ44 engine condition and time since overhaul, compliance with Cessna mandatory service bulletins, and avionics software currency. The CJ2+ commands a premium over the standard CJ2 due to its improved engines and greater payload. Both variants benefit from Cessna's extensive global support network and readily available parts.
