Click the runway figure to open the official aerodrome chart and check it. Declared distance from AISWEB (2026-09-05); where none exists, physical length is used.
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.

History
2012First flight
2013 - Sucessor do Mustang e CJ1+ na entrada da familia 525
Lancado em setembro de 2011 e certificado FAA em dezembro de 2013, o Citation M2 foi posicionado pela Cessna entre o Mustang (VLJ puro) e o CJ2+, substituindo na pratica o CJ1+ que saiu de linha. Combina a fuselagem do CJ1+ com os motores Williams FJ44-1AP-21 mais potentes e aviônica Garmin G3000 (substituindo o Pro Line 21).
Em 2022 a Textron Aviation lancou o Citation M2 Gen2 com novo interior Alpine, novas opcoes de paleta de cores e melhorias ergonomicas, mantendo a mesma plataforma e aviônica. A producao continua ativa em Wichita junto com CJ3+ e CJ4 Gen2.
Citation M2 (Cessna 525 variante 2013-presente) é o "novo" entry-level Citation, substituindo Mustang. Estimativa BR: 5-10 aeronaves operacionais. Aviônica Garmin G3000 (Intrinzic), motor Williams FJ44-1AP, single-pilot.
Diferenças vs CJ1+ (que substitui): cabine refinada, autothrottle, base Garmin. Range 1.550 nm. Mercado novo ~US$ 6.5M, pre-owned 2013-2020 US$ 2.5-4.5M. Compete com Phenom 100EV, M2 vence em aviônica G3000, Phenom 100EV vence em cabine.
Model with no documented lineage in the manufacturer's line.
Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Single-pilot com Garmin G3000 reduz custo operacional
Certificado para operacao single-pilot, o M2 elimina o custo de copiloto em missoes Part 91 e regimes equivalentes, com aviônica Garmin G3000 touchscreen que reduz workload e oferece synthetic vision de serie. Operacao 100-150 horas/ano fica viavel para empresarios em transicao do turboelice.
Com 3.210 ft de pista balanceada (978 m), o M2 opera de Jundiai (SBJD), Sorocaba (SDCO), Bragantina e a maioria das pistas executivas brasileiras de 1.200 m. Combinado com 1.550 nm de range, cobre rotas como GRU-Recife, GRU-BSB, GRU-Foz e SP-Buenos Aires sem escala.
Limitations
Range de 1.550 nm limita rotas internacionais
Range maximo de 1.550 nm com 4 pessoas nao cobre voos diretos GRU-Miami (3.500 nm), precisa 2 escalas (Manaus + Caribe). Para rotas longas, o CJ3+ (2.040 nm) ou CJ4 (2.165 nm) sao mais adequados. M2 e otimo para missoes regionais ate 3 horas.
