The Cessna Citation V (Model 560) evolved from the successful Citation II, offering a stretched cabin, more powerful Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5A engines, and upgraded systems for improved speed and climb. With seating for seven to nine passengers, it provides a true midsize feel in a light jet package. Typical cruise speed is around 430 knots with a range exceeding 1,500 nautical miles, making it ideal for regional and medium-haul missions.
Its versatile design pairs ease of operation with excellent runway performance, maintaining Cessna’s hallmark reliability and simplicity. The Citation V’s balance of range, payload, and comfort made it one of the best-selling light jets of its era, and it laid the foundation for the later Citation Ultra and Encore models that continued to refine the platform.
The original variant introduced in 1989, featuring JT15D-5A engines, longer cabin, and updated systems compared to the Citation II.
Introduced in 1994, upgraded with Pratt & Whitney JT15D-5D engines and Honeywell Primus 1000 glass avionics suite, improving climb, efficiency, and cockpit ergonomics.
Debuted in 2000, featuring Pratt & Whitney PW535A engines, trailing-link landing gear, and a redesigned interior offering quieter operation and higher fuel efficiency.
