Before you buy

What to check on a used Cessna Citation CJ3

Hours and cycles

Total time and landings against the model's average for its age. Low hours are not always better: an aircraft that sat for years can need more work.

Engines and APU

Times since overhaul and whether they are enrolled on an hourly maintenance programme, which transfers to the buyer and protects the value.

Inspections due

The date and cost of the next major inspection. A big check due soon is a fair reason to negotiate.

Records and damage

Complete logbooks since new, any damage history and repairs, and the export and registration history.

Avionics and connectivity

The avionics standard and any upgrades the routes you fly will need, and the cabin Wi-Fi system.

Interior and paint

Age and condition, seat count and layout. A refurbishment is a large cost and takes the aircraft out of service for weeks.

If you fly only a few trips a year, charter or a jet card can cost less than owning. A test flight on charter shows the cabin, the noise and the range on your own routes.
