The Citation Encore, a direct successor to the popular Citation Ultra, was introduced in 2000 and produced until 2006. It enhanced the Citation family's offerings with improved performance, thanks to upgraded Pratt & Whitney Canada PW535 engines, and a range of approximately 1,700 nautical miles. The Encore's cruising speed of 428 knots and its capacity to seat up to seven passengers in its spacious cabin made it a versatile and popular choice for business aviation. The aircraft featured updated avionics, including the Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS, providing pilots with a more intuitive and efficient flying experience. The Encore's blend of range, speed, and comfort made it a favored option for those seeking a reliable and luxurious light jet.
