“With the CJ3, Cessna got it right.” So I was told when I embarked on a life of flying this attractive airplane. Some 1,200 hours of CJ3 flying later, I can tell you that the airplane is more than attractive. It is amazing. If you put a gun to my head, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you how to improve it.
We Fly: Cessna CJ3+
Key Takeaways:
- The Cessna CJ3+ is a substantial upgrade from the highly-regarded original CJ3, primarily in its interior and technology.
- While the exterior and core performance specifications like range, speed, and engine thrust remain largely similar to its predecessor, the cockpit has undergone a significant transformation.
- The most notable enhancement is the adoption of the Garmin G3000 avionics suite, which offers a modern, intuitive, and highly automated pilot interface with large displays, touch controllers, and advanced features like emergency descent mode and streamlined flight planning.
- Beyond the flight deck, the CJ3+ also features a luxurious, redesigned passenger cabin with premium amenities and finishes, greatly enhancing the passenger experience.
