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
- 1999First flight
- 2005FAA certification
- 2006 - Cabine alongada e motor mais potente sobre o CJ1+
Lancado em 2006, o CJ2+ stretchou a fuselagem em ~50 cm em relacao ao CJ1+, ganhando 2 assentos extras. Trocou os FJ44-2C (CJ2 original) pelos FJ44-3A-24, ganhando 25% mais empuxo (2.490 vs 2.300 lbf), permitindo MTOW maior (5.670 kg) e teto de FL450, vs FL410 do CJ1+.
- 2016 - 240 unidades produzidas em 10 anos
Entre 2006 e 2016 foram produzidas aproximadamente 240 unidades CJ2+, totalizando ~480 aeronaves CJ2 series quando somado ao CJ2 original (240 unidades, 2000-2006). A linha CJ2/CJ2+ foi descontinuada em 2016 sem sucessor direto, com a Cessna concentrando producao no CJ3+ e M2.

Market position
Market position analysis pending.
Brazil Fleet
Estimativa preliminar, variante intermediária.
Citation CJ2+ (525A com upgrades 2006-2017) é o upgrade comercial do CJ2 com winglets (range +50 nm), aviônica Pro Line 21 atualizada, e motor FJ44-3A-24 (mais empuxo, melhor performance pista quente). Estimativa BR: 4-8 aeronaves operacionais.
Posicionamento: ganhou mercado pra quem queria stand-up (não tem, cabine 1,45m), mas vence em pista curta brasileira. Mercado pre-owned: US$ 2.5-3.8M (2006-2017). Compete com pre-owned CJ3 e Phenom 100 no entry-level.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Sweet spot custo-beneficio entre CJ1+ e CJ3
Posicionamento ideal entre CJ1+ (5 lugares, 1.300 nm) e CJ3 (8 lugares, 1.875 nm). Oferece 7 lugares e 1.613 nm com custo operacional de ~USD 1.650/hora, apenas 14% mais caro que CJ1+ por 30% mais espaco e alcance. Por isso, e o mais vendido da familia CJ2 e o jet mais procurado pelo mercado brasileiro de charter regional.
FL450 abre rotas acima de WX e trafego comercial
Teto de servico de FL450 (45.000 ft) coloca o CJ2+ acima de tempestades tropicais comuns no Brasil e do trafego comercial concentrado em FL350-FL410. Range estendido em altitudes mais altas tambem reduz fuel burn, beneficio direto pra missoes BR-Caribe.
Single-pilot certified compativel com CE-525
Mesmo type rating CE-525 do CJ1+ e CJ3, facilitando training cross-fleet em operacoes mistas. Operadores com proprietario-piloto upgradam de CJ1+ pra CJ2+ sem retraining completo, apenas differences training de 2-3 dias.
Limitations
Cabine ainda baixa para padroes atuais
Altura de cabine de 1,45m permanece identica ao CJ1+, passageiros acima de 1,75m precisam se inclinar para caminhar. Concorrentes mais novos como Phenom 300 (1,52m) e o proprio CJ4 (1,52m) ja oferecem cabines mais altas.
Curiosities
Versao G3000 lancada em 2014 mas vida curta
Em 2014 a Cessna lancou o CJ2+ G3000 (Garmin G3000 touchscreen substituindo Pro Line 21), mas o modelo durou apenas 2 anos antes da descontinuacao da linha em 2016. Sao raros: ~30 unidades CJ2+ G3000 globalmente, hoje cotacao premium no usado.
