Mission Profile
About the Cessna Citation V/Ultra/Encore
Citation V / Ultra / Encore (Model 560 series) is a light business jet produced by Cessna from 1989 to 2011. The base V was equipped with JT15D-5A engines; the Ultra uses JT15D-5D variants; the Encore upgrades to PW535A engines and further refinements. Typical cruise is in the 420-430 kt region (≈ Mach 0.73-0.75) under favorable conditions. Published weight & balance sources indicate useful load ~6,400 lb; typical passenger seating is 7-8 plus crew (though some arrangements permit a belted lav seat). The service ceiling is ~45,000 ft, and the wing span is about 54.1 ft. The available “Note-Taking Guide” for CE-560 suggests VMO (i.e. max operating) speeds of 262 kt up to 14,000 ft, and 292 kt above, with MMO = 0.755; these likely correspond to structural upper limits, suggesting a VNE near 292 kt, and a VNO somewhat lower (perhaps ~260-270 kt) — although official published VNO/VNE values in the AFM or type certificate were not located in open sources. Data is derived mostly from Cessna Citation Ultra / 560-series data; original V has slightly lower perf.
