The Cessna Citation V is the mid-1990s predecessor to the Ultra and Encore and still runs Naples charter trips inside 1,750 nautical miles. Built between 1989 and 1994, the V is older equipment on a value hourly rate, with seven to eight seats and a belted lavatory rather than the enclosed setup that came later.
Cessna produced the Citation V (Model 560) from 1989 through 1994, a stretched Citation II with more powerful JT15D-5A engines. Seats seven to eight, cruises at 397 knots to 45,000 feet, delivers 1,750 nautical miles of range, and carries 67 cubic feet of baggage. Lavatory is belted, not enclosed.

Why the Cessna Citation V Fits Naples
Range at 1,750 nautical miles covers the same Northeast and Midwest snowbird pairings as the Ultra and Encore (TEB, HPN, BED, PWK all nonstop) at a lower hourly rate. Cruise speed of 397 knots means block time is slower than an Ultra or Encore.
The belted lavatory is worth flagging on longer legs; a Naples client used to newer light jets will notice the difference between the V and a CJ3 on a 3.5-hour trip from Chicago.
APF handles the V without difficulty on any typical winter or summer day.

- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates; reports may be provided on request.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
