More about the Citation V

The Cessna Corporation announced the next iteration for its Citation line in 1989, with its new Citation V showcasing improvements recommended by prior clients. The strongest feature of the Citation V is its ability to ferry a relatively large payload over fairly long legs. The Citation V also features a roomy, comfortable cabin and best in class airport performance, quickly earning its place in the industry and maintaining the expectations for performance as established in the Citation line.

Production on the Citation V started in 1989 and ended in 1994. 260 aircraft have been built so far.

Key Features of the Citation V

While this private business jet can accommodate as many as ten passengers, the Citation V is generally configured to seat seven. The cabin of the Citation V measures 17.7 feet long, 4.9 feet wide, and 4.8 feet in height. To take advantage of the longer cabin, passenger seats come standard with lumbar back support and are capable of reclining up to 60 degrees. The Citation V utilizes new soundproofing techniques and triple glazes have been applied to the windows for a quieter cabin. With a maximum pressure differential of 9.0 psi, the Citation V is capable of maintaining sea level pressure at an altitude of 23,586 feet and is capable of maintaining a pressure of 8,000 foot cabin altitude at its maximum certified altitude of 45,000 feet.

The Citation V utilizes deicing boots and warm engine bleed air in place of the Citation II S’s TKS leading edge anti ice system.

Capabilities of the Citation V

The Citation V comes standard with two Pratt and Whitney JT15D-5A engines. Each engine is rated at 2,900 pounds of thrust each. With these powerful engines, the Citation V needs only 3,160 feet of runway to take off and 2,230 feet of runway to land on a standard day. For a swift flight, the Citation V is capable of maintaining its high speed cruise speed of 425 knots at an altitude of 35,000 feet. If you would like to make the most of this aircraft’s range, the Citation V can fly at its long range cruise speed of 350 knots at its maximum certificated service ceiling of 45,000 feet. With an impressive range of 1,760 nautical miles, the Citation V is more than capable of fulfilling your business needs.

With a 340 degree view from the flight deck, pilot situational awareness is strongly reinforced. Cessna chose a Honeywell avionics package for this prestigious jet. Instrumentation in this package include  standard two tube Honeywell EFIS on the left side, a Global-Wulfsberg GNS-X NAV management system, Loran-C sensor, a Honeywell SPZ-500 integrated flight director and autopilot system, which utilizes two five inch EFIS (EADI and EHSI) indicators located on the pilot’s panel, electrically powered mechanical ADI and HIS units on the right side, a standard flight control system, an air data computer, dual C-14 compass system, and dual Collins Proline II remote-mounted communications and navigation system. Optional avionics include a multi function display for the center panel and an optional EFIS upgrade for the copilot’s side.
