HA-FIT Aircraft Overview
HA-FIT is a CESSNA Cessna Citation I registered in Hungary with serial number on file. Very light jets represent the most accessible segment of jet aviation, designed for short-haul missions where speed and efficiency outweigh cabin size. The aircraft is associated with Jet-stream, registered through the CAA Hungary.
Cessna Citation I Market Position
The Citation I, originally the Cessna 500, launched Cessna's entire Citation line in 1972. Its Pratt & Whitney JT15D engines and straight wing prioritized simplicity over speed. Over 690 were delivered across all 500-series variants, establishing Citations as the most prolific business jet family in aviation history.
Performance Profile
The Cessna Citation I achieves cruise speeds around 350 knots with a range of 1200 nautical miles. While shorter-legged than light jets, this performance covers most regional routes within a 500 to 800-mile radius. Power comes from 2x Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-1A. The aircraft reaches altitudes up to 41,000 feet.
Mission Profile
VLJs serve a distinct niche: owner-pilots, air taxi operators, and travelers on short hops between regional airports. The Cessna Citation I seats up to 6 passengers in a compact cabin. The economics work best on legs under two hours where the time savings over driving or airline connections justify the operating cost.
Charter & Availability
HA-FIT is registered in Hungary under the CAA Hungary. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar Cessna Citation I platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
Very light jets are single-pilot certified, which reduces crew costs but limits duty-day flexibility on multi-leg itineraries. For back-to-back missions exceeding eight hours of duty time, a two-pilot crew or overnight rest may be required.
