The Cessna Citation Bravo is a highly popular light jet in the aeromedical industry, known for being the successor to the Citation II. It strikes an excellent balance between cost-efficiency, range, and cabin comfort. It is particularly appreciated for its smooth landing capabilities thanks to its trailing-link landing gear, which is a significant advantage when transporting patients with spinal injuries or those sensitive to movement.
The Bravo’s cabin is designed to be quiet and pressurized, allowing the medical team to work in a stable environment. It is capable of flying at high altitudes to avoid most weather disturbances, ensuring a faster and more comfortable journey than many turboprop alternatives.
Medical Equipment
The Citation Bravo is outfitted as a compact Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The cabin layout allows the medical team (physician and flight nurse) to have easy access to the patient’s head and torso for monitoring and airway management during the flight.
