Initial certification of the Cessna Citation CJ series main landing gear repair program is pending.
Initial testing—involving up to five lifetimes, or 75,000 landings, of the main landing gear’s life limit—took place on a CJ3, and the program is expected to be expanded across all CJ series aircraft beginning in 2021. (Photo: Textron Aviation)

Textron Aviation will offer a new, standard repair process for Cessna Citation CJ-series aircraft main landing gear (MLG) that is more cost-effective for owners and operators, the Wichita-based airframer announced. The project is being led by Textron Aviation along with its Mesa, Arizona-based Able Aerospace Services subsidiary.
