Cessna yesterday rolled out the 400th Citation CJ3 light jet. In its ninth year of production, the CJ3 outsells its competition by 70 percent, according to Cessna. Powered by a pair of fadec-controlled Williams FJ44-3A fanjets, the single-pilot-certified CJ3 is largely owner-flown.
The Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 flight deck is common among all CJs, making stepping up easier for pilots and streamlining the training process. The suite includes a pair of 8-inch by 10-inch primary flight displays and a center multifunction display. It also comes standard with the Collins FMS-3000 flight management system; Collins autopilot with VNAV; TCAS II, LandMark TAWS 8000 (Class B); and satellite broadcast graphical weather.
