Cessna 750 Citation X

The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. The design is held under 1 type certificate (T00007WI, held by Textron Aviation INC.). The FAA has issued 14 airworthiness directives (orders that owners must comply with) that name this model, most of them about engine. Operators and repair shops have filed 2,733 failure reports with the FAA since 1997, 468 of them in the last ten years: about 16.2 a year for every 100 aircraft on the register; the system most often named is landing gear. 53 approved modifications exist for it, the most by Duncan Aviation INC.

Sources: the FAA's type certificate data sheets, airworthiness directives, supplemental type certificates, special conditions and special airworthiness information bulletins (Dynamic Regulatory System), and the FAA's service difficulty reports. A failure report is what an operator or repair station chose to file; the counts show reporting as much as reliability, and larger and commercial fleets report more. How the systems are grouped.
