N330PK Aircraft Overview
N330PK is a Cessna Citation CJ3 registered in the United States with serial number on file. Light jets define the entry point for turbine-powered business aviation, offering jet speed and reliability with lower acquisition and operating costs than midsize or heavy platforms.
Cessna Citation CJ3 Market Position
The Citation CJ3 brought Garmin G3000 touch-screen avionics to the light jet segment. Its 1,875-nautical-mile range and Williams FJ44-3A engines deliver efficient regional performance. Single-pilot certified, the CJ3 serves owner-operators who fly their own aircraft and need straightforward, reliable systems.
Performance Profile
The Cessna Citation CJ3 cruises at 416 knots with a published range of 2040 nautical miles under standard reserves. These numbers support most regional missions of two to three hours without refueling. Power comes from 2x Williams FJ44-3A. An operating ceiling of 45000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather and turbulence.
Mission Profile
Light jets excel at missions under 1,500 nautical miles with smaller passenger groups. The Cessna Citation CJ3 typically seats 9 passengers in a cabin that prioritizes speed and efficiency over cabin volume. For owner-operators and small flight departments, this category delivers the lowest cost per seat-mile in the jet segment.
Charter Authorization
N330PK is not currently listed on a Part 135 certificate in the FAA D085 database. The aircraft operates under Part 91 as a private or corporate flight. Charter availability for this model can be arranged through operators in our network.
Insider Note
Light jets access thousands of airports that larger aircraft cannot reach. Runway requirements are typically under 4,000 feet, opening up regional and county airports closer to the final destination. This can save an hour or more of ground transportation compared to flying into a major hub.
