Range/Payload C2/CJ2+

[deefer dog]

Can anyone help with providing these charts, and typical empty weights of the CJ2/CJ2+.

Need 1,100 nm plus reserves with 2 pax and 2 crew.

Thanks.

FLIGHT PLANNING GUIDE CJ2+:

textron.vo.llnwd.net/o25/CES/cessna_aircraft_docs/citation/cj2/cj2_fpg.pdf


CJ 2:

1100nm 2/2 should be doable.

Ours was light (2 tube cockpit, bucket instead of toilet, non belted toilet) ...DOW 7852 lbs

Max ZFW: 9300lbs
Max TOW: 12375lbs
Max LDW: 11500lbs
Max Fuel: 3960 lbs
EFHK_LSGG Altn LFLY planned:

1121nm / 2 Pax at 212lbs each / no baggs

at FL400/MCT/ zero wind minblock is about 3700lbs

at FL430/MCT/zero wind 3460lbs

(TAXI&TRIP,ALTN,5%CONT & 30 MIN HOLD 1500ft abv. ALTN ELEV)

So that works but not with too much reserve - with a constant wind of 200/50 you`d rquire a full tank at FL400 (MinBlock 3960) and at 430 3702lbs

I used an old file for my flightplanning prog and can´t really guarantee the numbers, but that file worked 10 years ago when I did my last CJ2 flight...

Thank you HD,

Would you or anyone know how far a CJ2 (not the +) fly with with 2 crew plus 4 pax, and 2 crew plus 3 pax?

Thanks in advance.

Well, FF/TAS at midweight for FL400 is 870/400, for 430 750/390

You can work from the example above with that - OTOH the altn dist is only 57nm in that example. -> if you´d use altn further away the equation gets more difficult.
I`ve just planned EGGW-LPCS (875 ovhd-ovhd, 914 via Airways, CFMU checked) with LPFR as an altn at 123nm distance, at FL 400, ETE is 2:34

You could do that with 4 pax, no baggs and a minblock of 3370 lbs. max poss fuel is 3800lbs, 210/50kts will require 3651 lbs minblock, ETE 2:54. Max extra: 149lbs.

Same flight at FL430: 0-wind: 2:42, minblock 3235lbs, with a continuous wind of 210/50kts minblock is 3475lbs, ETE 3:01, you could take an extra of 325lbs.

For 3 pax I did EGGW-LFPR (1003nm), altn LEZL (102nm),

0-wind: 2:48 / minblock 3510 / 450 extra poss
210/50kts: 3:09 / minblock 3830 / 160 extra poss

Again: this airplane was one of the lightest. So you might end up with about 150-200lbs more airframe, the range reduces as per FF above. The difference in TAS is roughly 10-20 kts between heavy (12300lbs) and light (9500lbs) in 400 you´ll start at 395 and end up with 405, in 430 its 380 to 400.This gap closes in the mid 30ties. Taxi/takeoff is 125lbs.

Hope that helps
