Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

Differences between variants
History
- 1993 - Heranca do CitationJet original de 1993
O CJ1+ e a quarta geracao da linha 525, que comecou com o CitationJet (1993), passou pelo CJ1 (1999) e culminou no CJ1+ (2005). A familia 525 hoje ja ultrapassou 2.500 unidades produzidas considerando todas as variantes (CJ, CJ1, CJ1+, CJ2, CJ2+, CJ3, CJ3+, CJ4, M2).
- 2005 - Atualizacao do CJ1 com Pro Line 21 e FADEC
Lancado em 2005, o CJ1+ trouxe duas mudancas principais sobre o CJ1 (1999-2005): aviônica Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 com 3 telas LCD substituindo o EFIS-40 analogico, e FADEC pleno nos motores Williams FJ44-1AP, reduzindo workload do piloto e melhorando consumo em ~5%.
- 2005FAA certification
- 2010End of production
- 2013 - Sucedido pelo Citation M2 em 2013
A Cessna encerrou a producao do CJ1+ em 2010 e lancou o Citation M2 em 2013 como sucessor, mantendo a celula 525 mas com Garmin G3000 touchscreen, motores FJ44-1AP-21 atualizados e cabine refinada. M2 mantem o type rating CE-525, facilitando upgrade de proprietarios CJ1+.
Market position
Market position analysis pending.
Brazil Fleet
Estimativa preliminar, refinar com dados RAB-ANAC.
CJ1+ (CitationJet 525 evolution, 2005-2010) é o upgrade direto do CJ1 com aviônica Collins Pro Line 21 (vs Pro Line 4 antigo) e motor FJ44-1AP-21 (5% mais eficiente). Estimativa BR: 5-10 aeronaves, principalmente entregas 2005-2009.
Operadores típicos brasileiros: owner-pilots experientes que queriam upgrade do CJ1 sem migrar pra CJ2, e charter entry-level. O FMS dual e trafego Pro Line 21 fizeram o CJ1+ bem mais usável em ATC complexo (SP TMA). Mercado pre-owned: US$ 2-3M (2005-2010), competindo com early CJ2.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Single-pilot certified abre missoes proprietario-piloto
Certificacao single-pilot (type rating CE-525) reduz custo operacional eliminando segundo piloto e democratiza acesso para empresarios que pilotam suas aeronaves. Type rating CE-525 e um dos mais procurados em escolas como FlightSafety, valendo para CJ, CJ1, CJ1+, CJ2, CJ2+, CJ3, CJ3+ e M2.
Pista curta e custo baixo abrem aeroportos restritos
Com 3.250 ft de pista balanceada e MTOW de 4.853 kg, opera em pistas curtas como Jundiai (SBJD), Sorocaba (SDCO) e Catalina (KAVX) sem restricao. Custo operacional de ~USD 1.450/hora e o mais baixo entre light jets twin-engine, competindo apenas com Phenom 100 e Mustang.
Limitations
Range curto e cabine pequena para padroes atuais
1.300 nm de range nao alcanca missoes Sao Paulo-Miami direto. Cabine de 3,35 m de comprimento (vs 4,72m do CJ3+) limita conforto para 5 horas de voo. Lavatorio sem porta solida (privacy curtain) e ponto fraco recorrente em reviews de mercado.
Curiosities
T-tail e fuselagem identicas ao CitationJet original de 1993
A celula do CJ1+ e essencialmente a mesma do CitationJet original certificado em 1993, mesma envergadura, mesmo perfil de asa supercritica, mesmo T-tail. A Cessna mostrou que celula bem desenhada pode atravessar 4 geracoes de upgrade (motor, aviônica, interior) sem precisar redesenho estrutural.
