Default Looking for Citation pay info

What could a part 91 CE-501 single pilot expect in the first year? Looking in the upper midwest. Anyone with experience in the 501SP care to share their thoughts on flying one?

I don't have single pilot experience in the 501SP, but I have extensive experience in 500 series Citations, including a 501SP, and single-pilot King Air time, which is a very similar environment to the single-pilot Citation environment.

It's a good honest airplane that is easy to fly and has pretty simple systems and quite a bit of system automation. Very docile handling characteristics and a good safety record. It's a pretty reliable aircraft, too.

It can still be a busy cockpit in a high workload environment, though. I wouldn't want to be a single-pilot jet driver in the Northeast corridor, SoCal, or southern Florida if I had a choice.

Based on NBAA numbers, I'd put those about 10-15% low for a captain position part 91. But it gives you a starting point...

FUN & Easy To fly single pilot, lots less hassle hauling around an extra person and bags lots easier for local day trips. Once you get used to it , easy as pie
