AIN editor-in-chief Matt Thurber evaluates Textron Aviation’s flagship Cessna Citation Longitude super-midsize jet. The aircraft was certified in September 2019, and the company had delivered 31 copies of the model as of the end of 2020.
Although it shares the flat-floor cabin width and height dimensions of the Latitude, the Longitude is a fairly big step up from its smaller sibling. With a maximum takeoff weight (mtow) of 39,500 pounds, the Longitude is longer, by about three and a half feet in the cabin and nearly 11 feet overall. Also, the Longitude’s extra 8,700 pounds in mtow enable it to carry another 3,706 pounds of useful load, most of that fuel. Total mtow is 14,500 pounds or 3,106 pounds more than the Latitude's mtow). And that translates into significantly added range, allowing the Longitude to carry a full-fuel payload of 1,600 pounds (1,000 more than the Latitude) and fly 3,500 nautical miles, compared with the Latitude’s 2,700 nautical miles.
Powered by two 7,665-pound thrust Honeywell HFT7700L turbofans, the Longitude has a maximum cruise speed of 483 ktas and a maximum operating limit speed of Mach 0.84, putting it way ahead of the Latitude’s 446 ktas and Mach .80.

The narrator is a gifted teacher and good pilot, no doubt
You can definitely see the Hawker 4000's influence on the design!
Gosh, Hawker 4000 was a great aircraft. I bet Longitude is great too.
Just listening to you explain, you are definitely a great pilot and you should teach future pilots. I wish I could be your student.
Thank you, Aslam, it would be a treat to teach you to fly.
The Cessna Longitude is an incredible aircraft.
NOT really.......try Preator 500/600
@@naughtyUphillboy Nope. The Latitude is far better.
@@redcat9436 How & Why ??? Economy/Performance/even Looks? Comfort ?
This is just the Hawker 4000 that came out in 2004 rebranded with a Cessna nose cone and winglets
@@itsryanj I honestly agree. The Hawker 4000 is a GORGEOUS plane that had an unknown presence
I fly this all the time in sim. Thanks for this real world video.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Hillsboro? You are much closer to me than I thought! Great video!
I was hooked onto those 4 whites and saying "little low .. little more .. almost there .. lower the damn thing!" .. Awesome narration, aircraft is amazing!
A very complete video!!! Goes through all the bells and whistles without fuzz.
Would love to see active sidesticks on Long, similar to Gulf G800 and still keep G5000.
one of my fav planes in msflight sim 2020!
Mine also!
@@nicknicholson1268 Me 3!
I’ve been building sub assemblies for the longitude at the Cessna plant since it was a experimental but never seen one that was fully assembled in person yet 🤣 and no I don’t feel like wasting 10-15 mins of my lunch break walking across the building to look at it
I'll be ordering one tomorrow! 😁
Oh look it’s the Hawker 4000 rebranded with a Cessna nose and winglets
Smart move by Cessna. H4000 was great
Lovely interpretation of different stages on a flight,along with the flying characteristics and flight envelope protections. Gr8 video & inspires trust & confidence.
I go to training in 2 weeks for my new job. I hope I am assigned this amazing airplane!!
What a fantastic review/video!
Why they are not launching citation hemisphere!?? It could have easily competed with gulf-stream!!
Favorite jet in msfs 2020. That's about as close as I will ever get to flying one. lol
It's a good looking jet.
1:38 pin-strike?
Amazing aircraft!
1600 Lbs fuel? I think you miss stated
Very Smooth!
Beautiful airplane. What is the range a max cruise? It sounds like it wouldn't be much less than the 3,500 nm max range.
Thank !
Looking very nice.
"Short time" and "rose quickly' are not helpful metrics. Actual numbers please.
Thank you for the feedback. I'll endeavor to capture these numbers in future flights.
Insyaallah semoga aku bisa beli pesawat ini Amiin Ya Robbal 🤲
1:40 who's landing gear was that? It definitely didn't belong to the longitude
Thank you!!!! It looks like the stock Learjet footage used in most films and TV. That desperate for gear views to use something else???
That clip was supplied to us by Textron Aviation with a package of clips of the Longitude. Thanks for watching!
@@AINvideo I'll have to have a talk with our Visual Media Group about that. Overall still a great overview
Here is the package, if it helps: f1.media.brightcove.com/4/1056354699001/1056354699001_5603206849001_5603201359001.mp4?pubId=1056354699001&videoId=5603201359001
@@AINvideo Watched the package. Well shame on them then. Longitude uses trailing link gear. These are straight legged struts right out of a Learjet.
Phenom 300 by Embraer is the Best ;)
great plane but the Preator 500 and 600 are fly-by-wire + and much more capable for short landing and takeoffs.
No. The Longitude is better.
@@redcat9436 that is not what the market says - but I do respect your pov
That's great and all, but the Praetor and this are not directly comparable aircraft. The Longitude is designed to be a mid-range 12 passenger configuration aircraft with trans-continental range. The Praetor, though fly-by-wire as you say, can typically hold 8 passengers and range is effected with the number of passengers by a significant margin. Just something to keep in mind.
Different class of aircraft, different missions.
Nope Praetor 600 and longitude are direct competitors in the super mid class both beautiful and capable 12 passenger planes
The Praetor does have some advantages
1 Praetor 4018 nm mile range
Longitude 3500 nm range
2 Praetor fly by wire
3 Praetor has slightly better short field performance
All this can be yours for, oh... about $30 million.
1:37 Scrape!
I don't think so.
This Project is already outdate.........
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Outdated & expensive compared to Preator 500/600
The Preator 500/600 are just Legacy 450/500 with new avionics and winglets. Let's not forget that Embraer is firm on its published price, while Cessna will discount 20% or more on a sale. Then again, I suspect you won't be in the market for any of these aircraft.
@@jlalbee NO, Preator series has additional fuel tanks, better pressurization. I recently flew on lineage 1000, loved it, only short range. Embrear products are great, I heard Preator series is best handling aircraft, the light jet are exceeding 10 mil new(CJ4/PC24), stretching a little & acquiring Preator 500/ latitude gives more capabitlties & standup cabin, many of our customers want stand up cabin, we operate from Singapour. Lack of twin toilet in Preator series may be an issue.
Worth the money. Praetor 600 is a pig - slow and can't climb especially in hot conditions. I heard a couple of Praetor 600 customers hated them and bought Longitudes instead! lol
I know for a fact the pressurization is within 200 ft at FL450. No one can tell a difference between the two. I'd say, unless you really need 200 nm more (that's all the more range P600 gives), buy a Longitude.
Second!
First!
1st world problems......🧐
Jet is nice and smooth but this is a bus. And about 25x more fuel burning per distance than an efficient ICE car. Say you are only moving 2-3 people, it is incredibly wasteful. No matter what I could afford, I'd want something more efficient. Way more efficient. I think we could really benefit from car config 4 seater ultra light twin jet. Like a cirrus sr22 but sleeker, lighter, pressurized and two small jets. If you have 4 seats and can do mach 0.7, that to me is much greater freedom than a bus burning 10x more fuel. Even if you want transatlantic range, it can be built for range, not just big.
The Longitude is neither a bus nor wasteful.
@@redcat9436 of course it's a bus. and obviously extremely wasteful if you only fly a couple of people.
@@DanFrederiksen it’s not for the average person it’s for corps that go transatlantic
