Cessna Citation Longitude Development & Background
The Cessna Citation Longitude was an aircraft created not to replace, but to add a new segment in the Cessna’s lineup as a super-midsize business jet with extended range, superior speed, and a larger cabin. With a range of 3,500 nautical miles, the Cessna Citation Longitude is comparable to its competitors, allowing celebrities, Fortune 500 executives, and private families to travel coast-to-coast and nonstop transatlantic routes, especially from the Northeast. With its first flight in 2016 and recent FAA certification of September 2019, the Cessna Citation Longitude was created to introduce a super-midsize cabin with midsize-level operating costs/efficiency. Since its inception, more than 100 units have been delivered.

The Cessna Citation Longitude is equipped with the latest Garmin G5000 avionics, which also includes synthetic vision, autothrottles, advanced weather radar, and predictive wind shear alert. Something unique to mention, the Cessna Citation Latitude has an overspeed/underspeed protection, due to high altitude operations creating a tight speed envelope between overspeeding and stalling. Additionally, the Cessna Citation Longitude has 35 fewer pre-flight checklist items than its nearest competitors, which allows less time spent between the ramp and takeoff.
As it is a 2 pilot aircraft, hired pilots have undergone their training through CAE or Flight Safety, while SIC pilots have usually 1500TT, and the Captains are usually hired at 3000TT (Total Time).
