About the CASA CN-235

The Cessna Citation Encore+ is a light business jet that emerged in 2006 as an upgraded variant of the popular Citation Encore, itself descended from the Citation V lineage that Cessna launched in the late 1980s. Textron Aviation designed the Encore+ to bridge the gap between entry-level light jets and midsize cabins, offering transcontinental U.S. range with a maximum cruise speed of 426 knots and a service ceiling of 45,000 feet.

Powered by twin Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535B turbofans, the aircraft seats up to nine passengers in a stand-up cabin and became a favorite among fractional ownership operators and corporate flight departments seeking reliable point-to-point travel without the operating costs of larger jets. The Encore+ features a Garmin G1000-based flight deck, improved avionics over earlier Citations, and a maximum range of approximately 1,890 nautical miles with four passengers and NBAA IFR reserves. While not record-setting in any single performance metric, the type carved out a loyal following for its dispatch reliability, relatively short runway performance (takeoff distance of 3,590 feet at sea level), and straightforward systems that keep training and maintenance costs predictable.

The aircraft remains in production as of the early 2020s under the Citation Encore+ banner, competing against the Embraer Phenom 300 and Pilatus PC-24 in the light jet segment. SkyMeter has tracked flights across airframes and operators, with the largest observed operator.
