 Cessna Delivers the First Citation CJ4

First Airplane With GreenTrak Flight Planning Software

Cessna announced Tuesday it has delivered the first Citation CJ4. It was also the first Citation delivered with Cessna's newly released GreenTrak flight planning software. The delivery was made to an unnamed customer.

The Citation CJ4, certified in March by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, is the newest and largest member of the popular CJ family of business jets consisting of the Citation CJ1+, CJ2+ and CJ3. The CJ4 is approved for single-pilot operations and shares a common pilot type rating with the other CJs. (A pilot rated to fly any one of the CJs is rated to fly them all). Retail price in 2010 dollars for a typically equipped Citation CJ4 is $9 million.

GreenTrak is a proprietary system, the first offered by a general aviation manufacturer, that uses a process known as cost indexing to minimize total trip cost by balancing the costs of direct operation, fuel burn and carbon emissions.

The Citation CJ4 has a range of just over 2,000 nautical miles  and a top speed of 453 knots - both numbers greater than originally announced in 2006. It has a takeoff roll of 3,130 feet  at maximum takeoff weight and is capable of a direct climb to 45,000 feet  in just 28 minutes.
