Course Introduction
Global Flight Training offers the full Pilot in Command type rating courses specifically for the Citation CE-500 series. This type rating course leads to the Pilot in Command type rating and will be added to your FAA Private, Commercial, or Airline Transport Pilot license.

Aircraft information
The first flight of the Citation series took place in September of 1969. FAA certification was received in September 1971, two years after the first flight of the FanJet 500. The last delivery of the Citation I occurred in 1985. After the Citation I, many other Citation variants were designed and received FAA certification.
The Citation CE-500 series jets marked the beginning of the largest family of corporate jets and pioneered the business jet market. More than 2,000 aircraft that are covered by this type rating are currently delivered. The Citation Encore+ continues to be built by Cessna today.
