The Citation Longitude is a super-midsize business jet, a current flagship model in the Citation family of aircraft produced by Cessna. Known for its extensive range of 3,500 nautical miles, high cruising speed of 483 ktas, and exceptional cabin comfort, the Longitude is designed for long-distance corporate and private travel.
Cessna Aircraft Company, the manufacturer, has an indelible history in aviation, tracing its roots to Clyde Cessna, who built his first aircraft in 1911 and established the company in 1927 in Wichita, Kansas. The brand is foundational to general aviation, pioneering the development of iconic models like the single-engine Skyhawk and the Twin Cessna family. The Citation line, introduced in 1972, marked Cessna’s entry into the jet market, establishing them as a leading producer of business jets. The Longitude continues this tradition of high-performance manufacturing.
A variety of platforms and access solutions are available for servicing this aircraft. These systems, including deck platforms, modular stepover platforms, trestle scaffolds, and maintenance stands, provide technicians with safe access to critical aircraft sections.
These access systems are indispensable for maintenance on the Nose Section (including the Radome and Avionics), the Forward Fuselage (for Cabin Access and Environmental Control System maintenance), and the Landing Gear (NLG and MLG). Furthermore, they enable thorough access to the Middle Fuselage and Wing Box Area (for Fuel Tanks and Oil Maintenance), and the Wing and Engine Pylon (essential for the Engine, Fan, and Hydraulics). Finally, access is provided to the AFT Fuselage (for APU Compartments and Rear Avionics) and the Tail Section (for the Vertical and Horizontal Stabilisers).
