Aircraft Model Overview (Reference only)

The Cessna Citation III is a twin-engine business jet that marked a significant leap forward in Cessna’s Citation lineup, combining higher cruise speeds and improved cabin comfort with the rugged reliability that made the Citation brand a bestseller. Introduced in 1983, the Citation III quickly became known for breaking into the long-range corporate jet market, and by 1986, it was fully established as a capable mid-size business aircraft with strong appeal to charter operators, corporate flight departments, and owner-pilots seeking true jet performance. Unlike many earlier Citation models optimized for short-haul missions, the Citation III was designed for higher altitudes and greater speed, delivering efficient cruise in the mid-40,000 ft range. It is powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 turbofan engines, each producing approximately 2,900 lbf of thrust. This propulsion, combined with aerodynamic refinements and a supercritical wing design, allows the aircraft to cruise comfortably at .75–.78 Mach, making it a competitive choice in its class for business travel. The Citation III features a pressurized cabin typically configured for 7–9 passengers, with comfortable club seating, executive appointments, and generous baggage space—all designed for extended point-to-point travel. Large windows, ample headroom, and a well-insulated interior contribute to a quieter cabin experience than many early business jets. Many 1986 models have since been updated with modern avionics and optional interior enhancements, further extending their operational utility. Within the business aircraft community, the Citation III is respected for its blend of speed, range, and operating economics. It offers greater long-range capability than earlier light jets while maintaining more approachable acquisition and operating costs than larger business jets of its era. Its predictable handling and strong support network also make it a favorite among owner-operators transitioning into jet ownership. The 1986 Cessna Citation III remains a valued aircraft decades after its introduction. Its performance, comfort, and versatility continue to make it a compelling choice for corporate and private operators seeking a reliable mid-size business jet with true cross-country capability.
