Cessna Citation CJ1

Radar's rough range is about $1.9M to $4.2M for a 2011 and $740K to $1.7M for a 1999. From Radar's listing-based estimates for business jets of similar engine thrust and age. These are rough ranges, not appraisals: hours, engines, damage history, equipment and the logbooks move the price of any one aircraft.

What moves the price of any one Citation CJ1: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline shown on this page; a Citation CJ1 with high hours, an engine near overhaul or gaps in its records sells below it, and one with low time, recent inspections and full records above it.

Radar does not list aircraft for sale. It tracks all 154 US-registered Citation CJ1s by tail number, each with its registration record and a value estimate, so you can check a listing against the value of its build year and look up the aircraft's own history before you call.

154 Citation CJ1s are on the US civil aircraft register (FAA file of October 2026), built 1999 to 2011. Aircraft registered in other countries are not counted. Radar has a page for each US registration.

As published for the Cessna Citation CJ1+: up to 6 passengers, a range of 1,300 nm (1,496 statute miles), a high-speed cruise of 389 ktas (448 mph), a ceiling of 41,000 ft, a fuel burn of 832 lb/hr (122 US gal/hr), a cabin 4 ft 9 in high, 4 ft 10 in wide and 2 × Williams International FJ44-1AP engines. A given aircraft varies with its completion, weight and modifications.

The Citation CJ1's published range is 1,300 nautical miles (1,496 statute miles), with nBAA IFR reserves, 100 nm alternate (Cessna 2005 brochure, CJ1+, preliminary data). Winds, payload, cruise speed and the reserves a flight carries change what a given trip can do.

Not nonstop between New York and London: that is about 2,986 nm, against a published range of 1,300 nm. Aircraft with less range than the crossing make it in legs, with fuel stops in Canada, Greenland and Iceland.

Not nonstop. Los Angeles to Honolulu is about 2,217 nm over open water, more than the Citation CJ1's published range of 1,300 nm.

The Citation CJ1 cruises at up to 389 knots true airspeed (about 448 mph), and its maximum operating Mach number is 0.71, as published for the Cessna Citation CJ1+.

832 lb/hr (122 US gal/hr), as Cessna publishes it for the Cessna Citation CJ1+ (citation CJ1 at maximum cruise thrust, FL350, 8,000 lb, 385 KTAS (Cessna performance table, 2001)). Block fuel for a real trip is higher: taxi, climb, weight, altitude and winds all add to it.

The Citation CJ1 is certified to 41,000 feet for the Cessna Citation CJ1+. Heavy aircraft climb there in steps as they burn fuel.

Up to 6 passengers, the most the type is published for (Cessna Citation CJ1+). Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats, so a given Citation CJ1 may seat fewer.

4 ft 9 in high and 4 ft 10 in wide, 11 ft 0 in long, as published for the Cessna Citation CJ1+.

Of the 154 US-registered Citation CJ1s, 146 (95%) are registered to companies, trusts and other entities and 8 to individuals. Radar names entity owners only; individuals are shown as privately registered. The most common states of registration are TX (17), DE (15), CA (10).

Radar covers the Citation CJ1 (built 1999 to 2009) and the Citation CJ1+ (built 2005 to 2011). They share this page because people search for them as one aircraft; each has its own section with its specs, value and tail numbers.
