Specification

Range is 2,040 nautical miles, ample for the 950-mile corridor nonstop. Cruise is Mach 0.737 — a touch slower than the Phenom — and the ceiling is 45,000 feet. Two Williams FJ44-3A engines drive a fuel burn that keeps the CJ3+ among the cheaper light jets to operate.

Cabin

The cabin is 15 feet 8 inches with a 65-cubic-foot baggage hold, seating six to seven. It is a tidy, well-finished space sized for a small group. The trade against larger light jets is a slightly shorter cabin in exchange for a lower rate.

On this route

The CJ3+ is the value choice when the group is small and budget leads. Step up to the Phenom 300E for more speed and baggage, or the Learjet 75 for a longer cabin; the light jet class page compares all three.
