The FAA last month awarded type certification to Cessna for its Citation CJ3 light jet and to Bombardier for its long-range Global 5000. The CJ3 features a cabin that is two feet longer than that of the CJ2, new Williams International FJ44-3A engines and advanced fully integrated Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics.

Cessna said it has non-refundable orders for more than 100 CJ3s. The CJ3 is certified for single-pilot operation and has a maximum cruise speed of 417 knots at 33,000 feet. With two pilots, full fuel, four passengers and baggage, the light jet offers more than 1,800 nm of range with NBAA IFR reserves. The service ceiling is 45,000 feet.
