Cessna C525 Citation is an overall name for an airplane which incorporates few other so-called variants. Pilot who is a holder of Cessna C525 Citation type rating may act on the other variants provided that he has been provided by the differential training required by EC 1178/2011 and its Part-FCL.
The holder of the Cessna C525 Citation type rating is allowed to act as a pilot on the variant for which the license skill test has been successfully passed.
The Cessna C525 Citation type rating entitles the type rating holder to act as a member of the flight crew on the variant of the Cessna C525 Citation. In accordance with the scope of the EASA type certificate datasheet (EASA TCDS), EASA recognizes several variants of the Cessna C525 Citation type, which are incorporated into one general flight crew license endorsement. In accordance with the Commission Regulation No. 1178/2011 FCL.740 (a), the validity of the Cessna C525 Citation type rating is 12 months (1 year).

Cessna C525 Citation type rating entitles the holder to act as a member of the flight crew on the variant of Cessna C525 Citation airplane on which they successfully passed the license skill test.
To act as a member of the flight crew on another variant than the skill test has been successfully passed, the so-called Cessna C525 Citation differences training is required. This differences training is usually being provided by the airplane operator in accordance with the approved Operations manual, Part-D.
For example: you have passed Cessna C525 Citation type rating license skill test (LST) on the aircraft, or on a simulator of variant of Cessna C525 Citation, CJ1 and you would like to act as a member of the flight crew on Cessna C525A Citation, CJ2+. In this case, you need to attend the additional training, so-called differences training for the Cessna C525A Citation, CJ2+ variant.
If the pilot was not acting as a member of the flight crew on a specific variant of Cessna C525 Citation airplane for more than 24 months, in accordance with FCL.710 (b) Part-FCL, Regulation Ec 1178/2011 the additional differences training is required.
The requirement above is just a legislation requirement required by the Regulation (EC) 1178/2011. An owner of the airplane or the operator respectively may have additional requirements, which may be required beyond the legislation requirements, to let you fly as a pilot in command (PIC) on the specific variant of the Cessna C525 Citation operated/owned.
