Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen3
The Cessna Citation CJ3 Gen3, introduced in 2023, is the most advanced member of the CitationJet family. With its Garmin G3000 avionics package and Emergency Autoland technology, it redefines safety standards in the light jet category.
Emergency Autoland Technology
Garmin Emergency Autoland is an advanced system that enables the aircraft to automatically land at the nearest suitable airport in an emergency. Using GPS, weather data, and airport information, it selects the most appropriate runway while evaluating fuel status and weather conditions.
This technology creates an additional layer of safety in single-pilot operations, setting the CJ3 Gen3 apart in its category.
Avionics Systems
The Garmin G3000 avionics package features three large touchscreen displays. The standard autothrottle system reduces pilot workload, while synthetic vision technology enhances terrain awareness.
The GWX 8000 StormOptix weather radar, TCAS II traffic alert system, and TAWS-B terrain awareness system are standard features.
Performance Data
Two Williams FJ44-3A engines produce a combined 25.1 kN (5,640 lbs) of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches Mach 0.737, with 3,780 km (2,040 nm) range capacity.
The 969 m (3,180 ft) takeoff distance and 844 m (2,770 ft) landing distance enable operations from short runways. This capability facilitates access to challenging regional airports such as St. Moritz (Samedan), Ibiza, and Cannes.
Cabin Features
The 4.78 m (15.7 ft) cabin accommodates up to 9 passengers. USB-C and wireless charging are available at every seat. The 1.84 m³ (65 ft³) baggage capacity provides adequate space for business travel.
