Chapter 01

Fatigue

Typical than the type

What each landing and pressurization cycle costs the structure: landings per hour and short hops.

Utilization isn’t graded for 9A-JET: too few of its flights were tracked to count its use fairly, in the full report too. So its free chapter here is Fatigue, which doesn’t depend on catching every flight.

Legs like most of the type. Typical on fatigue.

It lands about as often for its hours as most of the fleet, so cycles have built up at a normal pace.

Hours per landingTypical
1.0 : 1

Against 1.2 : 1 for the middle Citation CJ2 (27th). Close to the type.

9A-JET’s flying is spread across many routes. Its most-flown pair of airports carries 1% of flights, 3 of 243, counting both directions. Its top three pairs make up 3%, so about ten flights in ten go somewhere else. Of its 243 tracked flights, 197 (83%) crossed a border.

Chapters 02–04

Corrosion, engines and brakes, and utilization

02 Corrosion

Not graded: not enough data

Where does it spend its nights? Where a jet sleeps shapes how fast it corrodes. Salt and damp overnight are what an inspector looks at first.

Salt air Lead metric

Also graded: damp air, freeze–thaw, near the coast and moisture in the air. See this chapter in the sample report →

03 Engines and brakes

Outside the middle of the fleet

How hard were its airfields? Short, hot and high runways ask for more thrust on every takeoff and harder braking on every landing. That wear doesn’t show in the hours.

Short runways Lead metric
Departures where the longest runway was under 1.25× the takeoff distance

Also graded: hot, high takeoffs; density altitude; dust and dry climate. See this chapter in the sample report →

04 Utilization

Not graded: too few of its flights were tracked

How hard has it been used? Heavy use spends maintenance intervals faster; long spells parked bring their own wear. Both are worth knowing before a pre-buy.

Method

How this page is made

Everything here comes from 9A-JET’s ADS-B track, the position signal aircraft broadcast, over the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026. ADS-B misses some flights, so every count is a minimum. Flights appear seven days after they happen, by month only, and hours are estimated from time in the air; the logbook has the real totals. Airports, bases and exact dates are left out on purpose. How grades work: each graded measure is placed among the tracked Citation CJ2s against the middle aircraft, the 50th percentile. Between the 25th and 75th it is typical; outside that band it is gentler or harsher. Fatigue is graded here for free; for the other chapters this page shows the middle value of the fleet and whether this aircraft sits inside the middle half or outside it. Their grades and values are in the report, not on this page. Owners and operators can ask us not to publish an aircraft’s activity.
