Buying a Used Cessna Citation Encore
Buying a Cessna Citation Encore is about the engines, maintenance programs and avionics as much as the airframe. Engine and airframe hourly-maintenance programs transfer with the aircraft and materially change both price and risk.
What to check before buying
- Engine status & program — time to overhaul/MPI and whether the engines are enrolled on an hourly maintenance program (the biggest value driver on any jet).
- Airframe program & inspections — scheduled (Doc) inspections, airframe/parts programs and total cycles.
- Avionics & mandates — a modern glass flight deck plus required mandates (ADS-B, FANS) raise value and capability.
- Damage history & logbooks — complete, gap-free records and a clean accident history protect resale.
- Pre-buy inspection — a full pre-buy at a type-authorised service centre before money changes hands.
