About the Cessna Citation V
Type certificated 1988
Overview
The Cessna Citation V (Model 560) is the straight-wing light jet that opened the Model 560 family, in production from 1989 through 1994. A stretched, more powerful development of the Citation S/II, it introduced Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-5A turbofans of 2,900 lbf each and a captain-side EFIS panel, lifting cruise to 425 KTAS and the service ceiling to 45,000 ft. It is the base airframe of the straight-wing Model 560 line that the Cessna Citation Ultra and Cessna Citation Encore developed from.
For the GA buyer, the Citation V is the value entry to the 560 family: the oldest and simplest of the line, it offers the cabin volume, 45,000 ft ceiling, and short-field access of the later variants without their engine or avionics complexity, at a direct operating cost near 1,731 USD per hour. Because every V is now a 1989 to 1994 airframe, maintenance history and engine condition at pre-buy carry outsized weight in the value calculus.
Key Features for GA Buyers
- 45,000 ft service ceiling. The V climbs into the same high-altitude band as the later 560s, clearing most weather and traffic on cross-country legs.
- Short-field access for a light jet. A 3,160 ft takeoff field length and 2,230 ft landing distance open thousands of regional runways that bracket-competitive jets reach only with a payload penalty.
- The value entry to the 560 family. As the oldest variant of the line, the V offers the cabin volume and 45,000 ft ceiling of the family with the simplest systems, a sensible starting point for a first jet in this bracket.
- Cabin-class comfort. The Citation V cabin seats seven to eight in a typical executive layout (certificated for up to 11 passengers) with a stand-alone lavatory.
Trade-offs
- JT15D-5A engine economics. The JT15D-5A’s 3,500 hr TBO is shorter than the 5,000 hr interval of the PW535A that later re-engined the family in the Encore, so overhaul events arrive sooner; budget the reserve accordingly.
- Required two-pilot operation. The Model 560 is not single-pilot certificated. Owner-operator economics must include a second pilot or contract crew.
- First-generation panel. The V shipped with a captain-side EFIS rather than the full Honeywell Primus 1000 glass that arrived with the Ultra; expect a partial-glass cockpit unless upgraded.
- Older airframe age. Every Citation V is now a 1989 to 1994 aircraft, so maintenance history, corrosion inspection, and avionics currency carry more weight in a pre-buy than on the later variants.
