Skylane JT-A

Revolutionary engine technology

With 30- to-40-percent lower fuel burn and lower maintenance intervals, the cost savings that the Turbo Skylane JT-A offers is as impressive as the technology that makes it possible. With worldwide fuel availability, a quieter engine, and advanced avionics with single-lever power, the Turbo Skylane JT-A is a piston pilot’s dream. The new 227-horsepower compression-ignition engine also delivers greater range or higher payload, delivering performance without sacrificing efficiency.

    Airframe

    With no life limits on either the airframe or its components, the Turbo Skylane JT-A’s durable, corrosion-protected aluminum airframe is easy to maintain and repair. Two large cabin doors make loading easy.

    Exterior design

    Your JT-A should show off your personality. Select your best match from six distinctive paint color schemes for your Turbo Skylane JT-A’s exterior design or have your exterior custom-painted to your exact specifications.

    Landing gear

    The Skylane JT-A’s wheels have hydraulically actuated disc brakes for excellent handling on the tarmac. Its strong and durable landing gear takes the shock out of every landing.

    Landing lights

    Visibility further enhances safety. The LED strobe lights embedded in the wing leading edges make the JT-A easy to spot in the air and on the ground.

    Powerplant

    The new 227-horsepower compression-ignition SMA SR305-230E-C1 replaces a turbocharged gas engine, which makes for significant fuel-burn reduction, less-frequent maintenance (2,400-hour time before overhaul), and added power.

      Where flying becomes second nature

      The most advancedflight deck in the category

      The JT-A cockpit features a single power lever and an all-glass Garmin G1000 flight deck customized for Cessna, reducing pilot workload and boosting ease of operation. Two large-format, high-resolution, color liquid crystal displays make fast assimilation of critical flight data effortless. The jet-level GFC 700 autopilot significantly reduces pilot workload and enhances the safety of every flight. Additional features include a go-around button, flight-level change, and precise guidance with optional satellite-driven graphical weather radar.

      Virtual vision

      Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT) enhances visual orientation with three-dimensional renderings of terrain on both flight displays. You’ll feel confident in darkness, haze, rain, fog, or any other IFR conditions that might obstruct a clear view through the windshield. This advanced graphics modeling technology recreates the surrounding landscape accurately in dimensional, graphical renderings on your primary flight display. You’ll get a clear picture of ground and water, airports, obstacles, and air traffic — all shown relative to the aircraft.

      Never before has risk avoidance been so simple and intuitive. Rising terrain areas or low-altitude flying can sometimes present obstacles that present real danger when unexpected. With SVT, such potential obstacles are rendered and color-coded for alerting when there may be a potential conflict approaching. Towers and other obstacles that may interfere with the flight path are also highlighted and clearly displayed with height-appropriate symbology.

      Pin-like precision

      The Turbo Skylane JT-A includes a robust flight management system (FMS) with autopilot controls and additional override features to give you the kind of approach precision you would expect in a jet. The CWS button or control-wheel steering momentarily disengages the autopilot and synchronizes the flight director’s command bars with pitch and roll modes. The CWS button is positioned on the top left grip of the pilot’s control wheel. When released, the flight director will recalibrate, establishing new reference points, depending on the current pitch and roll modes.

      GA switch or go-around button disengages the autopilot, selects flight director go-around mode, and activates a missed approach. It’s conveniently positioned above the throttle on the instrument panel. Additional features are included in this robust system and together they offer Turbo Skylane JT-A pilots more precision than any other aircraft in the category.

      Detailed Specifications

      Performance data is based on the standard Turbo Skylane JT-A configuration, operating in International Standard Atmosphere (ISA) conditions with zero wind. Takeoff and landing field lengths are based on a level, hard surface and dry runway. 

      Actual performance will vary with factors such as environmental conditions, aircraft configuration and operational/ATC procedures.
