The CJ2 is a CJ1 with almost a 3-foot stretch to the cabin length, allowing standard seating for six. Like the CJ1, it features Collins Pro Line 21 electronic flight instrument system avionics, plus upgraded Williams FJ44-2C engines that produce 2,400 pounds of thrust. It is certificated for single-pilot operation.
The CJ2 was certificated in 2000 and was in production until 2005, when the CJ2+ took its place in the production lineup.
