CE-500 Type Rating

[mooney flier]

What different types of Citations am I allowed to fly with the basic CE-500 type rating? What is the FAR reference to find that info?

Citations

You can fly the Citation 1, 2, s2, Ultra and Encore. Unless you have an SP on your Type Rating, you cannot fly single pilot.

I asked this same question when I got my CE500 type in December of 1999 at FSI Toledo. Hopefully this is 100% accurate. With regard to an FAR to check this...don't know if there is one. Call FSI and ask them if you want to verify.

CE500 is a great type to have. Lots of them out there and they are easy to fly.

citation 5

can't you also fly a straight 5 also??????????

 

[2000flyer]

falconpileit, you are correct. The CE500 type rating covers the straight V as well as the Ultra/Encore. The only 500-series planes not covered on the CE500 type are the CJ series and Excel.

Bravo

Only one missing from previous posts is the Bravo.

All together:

Citation I, II, SII, V, Bravo, Ultra, & Encore

The V

Yes, sorry I didnt mention the V. The V and the Ultra are almost identical...with the exception of the P1000 avionics.

Here is the list of Citation Type ratings as I understand them.

CE500= all those that w8t4swa posted
CE525=CJ1 and CJ2
CE650=the 3, 6 and 7
CE750=the big bad 10

CE680 will be the Sovereign.

The Cessna SST will be announced. CE Mach2.



Did I miss any?

just a minor point...the CE525 covers the straight CJ as well as the CJ1 and CJ2 - there are three of 'em...

 

[Rudder120]

Does anyone know the cost for an initial CE-525 type?

 

[airbaker]

Don't forget the Excel... CE-560XL

 

[English]

CE525 type through Flight Safety is between 18 and 20K...

English,
Thanks for the reply. Just got offered a job and working on negotiations.

Excel

Sorry, guys, the Excel is a different type rating... not included in the CE 500 Type rating.

That would be a C56X type.

 

[airbaker]

Not to be picky, but when I mentioned the Excel I was responding to "Jetz" list of all Cessna Citation types. (he forgot to include the Excel) But you're right, the Excel is a totally different type: CE-560XL.

I could be wrong, but with a CE500 type and with no "SP" you can still fly single pilot so long as it's in a 501 or 551 which are certified as single pilot aircraft irrespective of pilot.
