A New Standard in Midsize Jets
The Citation Ascend distinguishes itself with a redesigned cockpit, enhanced
performance capabilities, and a luxurious, flat-floor cabin designed to
accommodate up to 12 passengers. Built to meet evolving demands in the business
aviation sector, the jet emphasizes efficiency, comfort, and advanced
technology.
Enhancing the Pilot Experience
At the heart of the Citation Ascend’s innovation is its Garmin G5000 avionics
suite, a feature aimed at reducing pilot workload and improving safety. Key
components include autothrottle technology with flight-envelope protection,
three 14-inch ultra high-resolution displays supporting split-screen
functionality, and dual flight management systems. The cockpit also integrates
synthetic vision technology, which provides real-time terrain and obstacle
visualization, and a satellite transceiver enabling in-flight diagnostics and
satellite calls.
Designed for Performance and Comfort
Powered by two Pratt & Whitney Canada PW545D engines, the Citation Ascend
delivers a maximum true airspeed of 441 knots and a range of 1,940 nautical
miles (3,593 kilometers) with four passengers onboard. It also boasts a full
fuel payload of 900 pounds (408 kilograms), supporting versatility for both
business and leisure travel.
Passenger comfort is prioritized through an advanced
acoustic treatment system, creating a quiet cabin environment comparable to a
highway-driven vehicle. The flat-floor design enhances usability, while the
aircraft’s unattended Honeywell RE100 [XL] Auxiliary Power Unit streamlines
preflight operations and reduces ground noise.
