QUESTIONS
Citation III interior questions
More on the type: Cessna Citation III price, specs, range and every tail number, midsize jets compared, private jet interiors by class.
How big is the Citation III cabin?
18 ft 5 in long, 5 ft 6 in wide and 5 ft 8 in high, as the manufacturer publishes it for the Cessna Citation III. Cabin length is usually measured from the cockpit divider to the aft pressure bulkhead or baggage door, so it includes the galley and lavatory.
Can you stand up in a Citation III?
Not fully upright. At 5 ft 8 in the Citation III cabin is 4 in short of 6 ft, so most adults stoop to move about; seated, there is room to work and sleep.
How many seats does a Citation III have?
The Citation III is published for up to 13 passengers. Owners choose their own completion, so a given aircraft may seat fewer in larger seats or carry a divan that converts to a bed.
What does the Citation III seat map look like?
Representative eight-seat Model 650 cabin, based on a documented refitted Citation III configuration: four club chairs, two aft chairs and a two-place forward divan. Actual III, VI and VII interiors vary; this does not establish a factory-standard or installed cabin. Every aircraft is completed to its owner's order, so these are representative layouts, not any one aircraft's.
How does the Citation III cabin compare with the Citation Encore?
The Citation III cabin is 8 in wider than the Citation Encore's, 11 in taller and 1 ft 1 in longer (5 ft 8 in high, 5 ft 6 in wide, 18 ft 5 in long against 4 ft 9 in, 4 ft 10 in, 17 ft 4 in).
