Citation II/SP
The Citation II/SP is a specialized version of the Citation II, designed to accommodate single-pilot operation while retaining all the features and benefits of the original model. This light jet is highly regarded for its flexibility, cost-efficiency, and capability, making it an ideal choice for private charters. Its single-pilot design reduces operating costs, while its spacious cabin ensures a comfortable and luxurious travel experience for passengers.
Performance Capabilities
The Citation II/SP is powered by two Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4 turbofan engines, each producing 2,500 pounds of thrust. These engines enable the aircraft to achieve a maximum cruising speed of 403 knots (464 mph) and a range of 1,998 nautical miles. This range makes the Citation II/SP suitable for non-stop flights between destinations such as New York to Miami or Los Angeles to Dallas, offering efficiency for regional and mid-range routes.
With excellent short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, the Citation II/SP requires a takeoff distance of 3,450 feet and a landing distance of 2,330 feet. This allows it to operate from smaller airports and private airstrips, providing flexibility for private charter clients. The jet can climb to a maximum cruising altitude of 43,000 feet, ensuring smooth travel above commercial traffic and turbulent weather.
Interior and Comfort Details
The Citation II/SP offers a spacious and well-appointed cabin, designed to accommodate up to eight passengers. Measuring 16 feet in length, 4 feet 10 inches in width, and 4 feet 9 inches in height, the cabin provides ample room for passengers to relax, work, or socialize during their journey. Its flat-floor design enhances the overall comfort and allows for easy movement throughout the cabin.
The seating arrangement typically features a club configuration with fully reclining leather chairs, ensuring maximum passenger comfort. Large windows fill the cabin with natural light, creating a bright and inviting atmosphere, while advanced soundproofing minimizes cabin noise for a serene travel experience.
Amenities include a refreshment center stocked with light snacks and beverages, as well as a fully enclosed lavatory for added convenience on longer flights. With 67 cubic feet of external baggage space and 26 cubic feet of internal storage, the Citation II/SP offers plenty of room for luggage, business essentials, or recreational gear.
