\n\u201cThis achievement continues the forward momentum of the CJ3 Gen3 program and reflects the discipline, innovation and commitment of this team,\u201d said Chris Hearne, senior vice president, Engineering & Programs. \u201cComprehensive flight testing will now begin for this aircraft with rigorous validation of its performance as we continue to work toward FAA certification and entry into service.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nTaking off from Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, pilots Steve Helmer and Dave Welbrock focused on testing software functionality in the cockpit during the initial nearly two-hour flight. The aircraft reached a maximum altitude of 41,000 feet and a maximum speed of 278 knots indicated.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cFrom takeoff to landing, the aircraft demonstrated the handling qualities and system performance we expected,\u201d said Helmer, flight test pilot. “This first flight validated months of preparation and provided a strong foundation as we expand testing and continue the certification program.”<\/p>\n

The aircraft combines advanced intuitive flight deck technology with the performance, payload and operating efficiency customers expect from Cessna Citation business jets.<\/p>\n

\n“The Citation CJ3 Gen3 builds on everything customers value about the CJ3 family while incorporating technology they’ve asked for to make flying even more intuitive and confidence-inspiring,” said Lannie O\u2019Bannion, senior vice president, Global Sales & Marketing. “From advanced Garmin avionics to a refined cabin experience, this aircraft reflects our commitment to delivering practical innovations for customers.\u201d<\/p>\n
