Overview & History
The Cessna Citation CJ2 and CJ2+ (Model 525A) are an upgrade of model 525 (CJ/CJ1/M2).
They vary most significantly from the Citation 525 series in respect to their markedly increased range and payload capacity.
The CJ2+ is an improved version of the CJ2, featuring upgraded engines that provide a slight increase of engine thrust, range, and speed.
Both the CJ2 and CJ2+ can be single-pilot operated.
As of October 2020, 71% of all Citation CJ2+ aircraft were purchased pre-owned by their current owners, the other 29% new. 7.6% are for sale with more than half of those (71%) under an exclusive broker agreement.
When for sale the average time on the market is 264 days.
The first delivery of the Cessna Citation CJ2+ occurred in 2005 and the series ended production in 2014. A total of 226 aircraft were produced with 3 now retired.
The CJ2+ is the follow-on aircraft of the CJ2, which started production in 2000 and ended in 2006.

One of the most significant changes to the CJ2+ was the upgrade to the FJ44-2A-24 engines, which produce 2,490 pounds of thrust apiece on takeoff.
The -2A-24 engines produce 190 pounds of thrust more than the Premier IA’s FJ44-2A engines, but are similar in most other areas.
Despite having extremely similar engines and identical maximum takeoff weights, the jets perform much differently on the runway: the CJ2+ requires 3,360 feet to take off at sea level, and 5,180 feet to take off from a runway at 5,000 feet.
The Premier IA requires an additional 432 feet under identical conditions at sea level, and an extra 1,708 feet for the runway at high altitude.
Once in the air, the CJ2+ can climb to 37,000 feet in 15 minutes, 2 minutes before the Premier IA could reach the same altitude.
The high speed and long-range cruise speeds of the CJ2+ are significantly lower than the cruise speeds of the Premier IA, but the effect evens out when actual trips are calculated.
Notably, its MMO (maximum Mach operating number) increased from .72 to .737, an increase of about 10 ktas.
For a 600 nautical mile trip with four passengers and required NBAA IFR reserves, the CJ2+ would reach its destination in 1 hour and 35 minutes, 2 minutes before the Premier IA would arrive.
The fuel used by the CJ2+ on such a trip, 1,459 pounds, is only a few pounds more than the Premier IA would use.
As expected, the required runway length for the CJ2+, 2,666 feet, is significantly shorter than the Premier IA’s required runway distance of 3,202 feet.

Cessna Citation CJ2+ Interior
The CJ2+’s cabin is 69 cubic feet smaller than the Premier IA’s but is still large enough to seat eight passengers in its 246 cubic-foot cabin.
Baggage volume for the two jets is similar: the CJ2+ can hold 65 cubic feet in an external compartment, and the Premier IA has space for 77 cubic feet of baggage, split between two compartments.
Seats in the club section of the CJ2+ have folding tables, and every seat in the club section has a power outlet and access to a fax/data port.
The cabin measures 13.5 feet long by 4.6 feet wide by 4.7 feet tall.
The dimensions make it comfortable for 7 passengers, with the maximum configuration seating 8.
The baggage compartment can hold up to 11 bags, assuming your average piece of luggage is less than 5 cubic feet. Cessna CJ2 has a roomy six-seat interior, a fully stocked refreshment center, and a private lavatory.
Quiet and comfortable, it’s the perfect aircraft for short to mid-range trips, and a great choice for high altitude destinations.
You’ll arrive relaxed and ready for business or pleasure.
Other amenities include Airshow / Moving Map Display, 110 AC Outlets in Cabin, Passenger Flight Phone, and hot Coffee Station.
