About the Cessna Citation Longitude

Type certificated 2019

Overview

The Cessna Citation Longitude (Model 700) is Textron Aviation’s flagship super-midsize jet, evolving the Citation Latitude’s wide-body cabin into a 3,500 nm transcontinental aircraft. Certified in 2019 on a new 28-degree swept wing and T-tail with Honeywell HTF7700L engines, it competes directly with the Bombardier Challenger 350 and Embraer Praetor 600. It is a current-production Textron flagship and a mainstay of the NetJets fractional fleet.

For the GA buyer, the Longitude offers a refined, quiet flat-floor stand-up cabin, Garmin G5000 touchscreen avionics with autothrottle, and long scheduled-maintenance intervals, at a roughly $3,594 hourly direct operating cost. It is a two-pilot, professionally crewed flagship; the real trade-offs are runway length and a cabin narrower than the Challenger’s, not systems complexity. Choose the Citation Longitude when you need transcontinental range in a current-production flagship cabin with Textron support, you operate with professional crew, and a roughly 4,810 ft takeoff field fits your home airports.

Key Features for GA Buyers

Transcontinental range. A 3,500 nm range covers coast-to-coast and many transatlantic city pairs non-stop at 483 KTAS (up to Mach 0.84), with the Garmin G5000 autothrottle managing the full climb-cruise-descent profile.
Quiet flat-floor cabin. A flat-floor stand-up cabin seats up to 11 passengers, with an in-flight-accessible aft baggage compartment.
Long maintenance intervals. Long scheduled-inspection intervals help lower total cost of ownership versus older super-midsize designs.
Current production with NetJets backing. Active Textron production and a large fractional fleet keep parts, training, and resale liquidity strong.

Trade-offs

Runway length. A 4,810 ft takeoff field length at MTOW is more limiting than the smaller Latitude, particularly hot-and-high.
High-speed fuel burn. Cruising at the Mach 0.84 ceiling notably raises fuel burn over the economical long-range setting; the headline range assumes the economical profile.
Cabin width. The fuselage is narrower than the Challenger 300 / 350 series, noticeable to passengers on long transatlantic legs.
Two-pilot professional-crew aircraft. Unlike the single-pilot CJ / M2 Citations, the Longitude is a crewed flagship; ownership economics assume professional crew and the fixed costs that come with it.
