Citation 1
Hi there,if you buy one of these babies make sure its not any of the ones with the s/n up to 50.
These were all one off,s & all different & makes it very difficult to get parts.
I used to maintain 5 citation 1,s in the 90,s.There is a guy called mike hamlin from hamlinjet luton who used to operate them.
One of the things you have to look at is the windscreens they are very expensive to buy & very labour intensive to replace.The tailplane skins can delaminate as well.They are also fitted with mechanical tape engine gauges that can cause problems.
Rvsm may be a problem as well.Go for one with a longwing conversion.
Maintenance is usually done under a phase inspections, the largest & most expensive being a phase 5.
Make sure you have all the records which will show what is due.Normally maintained under camp or cescom.
Make sure you get the P&W JT 15 engines boroscoped.There is a guy called Phil Lamerman who used to be in the bournmouth area who was an expert on these,Good Luck
