First Flight Successful for Cessna’s Citation CJ4

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Adam Crighton

Wichita, KS - Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. company, completed first flight of its Citation CJ4 business jet prototype today.

“It was an outstanding first flight,” said Cessna Senior Engineering Test Pilot Dan Morris, who flew the aircraft with Engineering Flight Test Manager Dave Bonifield as co-pilot. “We tested quite a number of the systems on the aircraft, including the autopilot, and all performed very well. The FADECs operated just as we expected, and along with the four displays of the Pro Line 21, this is a very pilot-friendly aircraft. Operators will transition easily into the CJ4.”
