About the Cessna Citation Longitude
The Cessna Citation Longitude (Model 700) is Textron’s flagship super-midsize jet, evolving the Latitude’s successful wide-body cabin into a transcontinental powerhouse. With a new ~28-degree swept wing and a T-tail, it was designed to challenge the Challenger 350 and Embraer Praetor 600. For the GA buyer, it offers a refined ‘NetJets-standard’ experience: a quiet, flat-floor cabin paired with sophisticated Garmin G5000 avionics.
Key Features for GA Buyers
- Quiet-Cabin Leader: Marketed as having the quietest cabin in the super-midsize class, it uses advanced soundproofing to ensure a serene environment for business or rest.
- Modern Flight Deck: The Garmin G5000 system includes fully integrated autothrottles and four touchscreen controllers, drastically reducing workload for the two-pilot crew.
- Superior Maintenance Intervals: Features industry-leading 800-hour or 18-month maintenance intervals, significantly lowering the total cost of ownership compared to older super-midsize jets.
- Flat-Floor Space: The 6-foot stand-up cabin and completely flat floor create a seamless transition from the cockpit to the aft baggage area, which is accessible in flight.
Trade-offs
- Fuel Burn at High Speed: While capable of Mach 0.84, flying at maximum speed notably increases fuel consumption compared to long-range cruise settings (Mach 0.79).
- Runway Requirements: With a takeoff field length of 4,810 ft at MTOW, it is more runway-limited than its smaller sibling, the Latitude, particularly in ‘hot and high’ conditions.
- Cabin Width vs. Competition: Although spacious, the fuselage diameter is narrower than the Challenger 300/350 series, which some passengers may notice on 7-hour transatlantic legs.
