Cessna Citation VI Overview
The Cessna Citation VI is a mid jet manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation), produced from 1991-1995. Classified as a mid-cabin aircraft, the Cessna Citation VI carries up to 9 passengers at a maximum cruise speed of 470 knots with a range of 1,900 nautical miles — placing it squarely in the charter and corporate flight segment for cross-country domestic missions.
The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 1 active Cessna Citation VI registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Honeywell TFE731-3B-100S, each producing 3,650 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 470 knots (undefined), with a long-range cruise of 430 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 51,000 feet puts the Cessna Citation VI well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 5,100 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 1,900 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Cessna Citation VI handles regional cross-country routing — New York to Miami, Chicago to Dallas, or Los Angeles to Seattle. Typical hourly operating costs range from $2,200-$3,000 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Cessna Citation VI cabin measures 18.3 ft long, 5.5 ft wide, and 5.7 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 9 passengers, with 56 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Evolution & Market Position
A simplified, lower-cost variant of the Citation III. For those considering acquisition or evaluating options to sell, understanding the transition between variants is essential for informed decision-making. Well-maintained Cessna Citation VI aircraft remain sought after in the pre-owned market, with strong demand from both private owners and charter operators.
