Textron Aviation expects the Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen3 to receive FAA certification this year, the company said as it marked the rollout of the 500th CJ4 at its Wichita facility yesterday.&nbsp;The milestone aircraft is a CJ4 Gen2. In production since 2010, the CJ4 series has been delivered worldwide to owner-pilots and fleet operators alike.
The Gen3 variant includes Garmin G3000 Prime avionics and Garmin Emergency Autoland, along with what Textron describes as the most standard features in the light jet class. The upgrades reflect customer feedback gathered across the nearly 500 aircraft delivered before the Gen3’s development.
“For more than a decade, customers around the world have chosen the CJ4 for its combination of performance, ease of operation, and confidence in the cockpit,” said Lannie O’Bannion, senior v-p of sales and marketing at Textron Aviation. “Reaching 500 aircraft built demonstrates the strength of this platform and reinforces our continued investment in the light jet market as we prepare to bring the CJ4 Gen3 to customers.”
The CJ4 series is a single-pilot-capable light jet. Designed to build on that foundation,&nbsp;the Gen3&nbsp;incorporates advanced technologies to enhance the pilot experience.
