The Citation Bravo Is Aptly Named For Its Features And Performance

The old adage "when it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a common approach that Cessna engineers use when designing aircraft for their Citation business jet aircraft line. Many basic design features that have been proven throughout the years seem to re-emerge with every new model that hits the market. Introduced in 1997, the Citation Bravo fits the bill perfectly.

With more than 603 aircraft produced when production ceased in 1994, the venerable Citation II was much in need of a technological overhaul. In came the Citation Bravo. After receiving FAA certification in the summer of 1996, the Citation Bravo quickly made a name for itself in the light jet aircraft industry. Equipped with more efficient Pratt and Whitney PW530 engines, a trailing link landing gear system utilized for smoother landings, and the latest Honeywell avionics package for added safety, the Citation Bravo is one of a kind.

Built in 2002, Desert Jet's Citation Bravo offers the utmost in cabin comfort, luxury and versatility. With seating for nine that includes a two place divan, center club seating in the main cabin for six and a belted lavatory seat in the rear of the aircraft, there is plenty of room to go around. Feeling hungry? Take advantage of the fully stocked refreshment center on board. Feeling tired? Cessna engineers redesigned the Bravo's fuselage to reduce cabin noise to allow for a more relaxed flight experience.

Do you tend to pack heavy for a trip? Not a problem. With some of the best luggage space in its class, the Bravo has room for two sets of golf clubs plus bags in its fully enclosed aft baggage area, accommodating that weekend in Pebble Beach with much ease. Sick and tired of shoveling snow off your driveway? The Bravo is the perfect aircraft to escape the harsh winters of Canada. With a range of over 1200 nautical miles, fly non-stop from Calgary to Palm Springs in a little over three hours.

While the original Citation II and the Citation Bravo may look similar on the outside, it's what's on the inside that counts. Not only do you get the same reliability, performance and versatility of all previous generation Citation aircraft, the Bravo is furnished for luxury, putting it in a class of its own.

Fitting for the aircraft name, the word "bravo" is often used to express a job well done. Aircraft operators and passengers alike agree to this sentiment as even though production ceased several years ago, the Citation Bravo will remain a prominent figure in the private jet aircraft market for many years to come.
