The CJ3+ on the route

A 2,040-nautical-mile range puts the 950-mile leg well within nonstop reach with a full cabin and reserves. Plan on about two and three-quarter hours at a Mach 0.74 cruise.

Efficient Williams FJ44 engines and single-pilot certification keep operating costs — and rates — among the lowest in the class.

Cabin and baggage

A 15-foot-8 cabin seats six to seven in a club layout with a refreshment console and an in-flight-accessible 65-cubic-foot hold. A Garmin flight deck and a quiet cabin make for a relaxed ride.
