My understanding was that "small" covered planes up to 12,500 pounds, no matter the engine type.

Would that be gross weight/max takeoff weight?

Brought to mind by the two recent Cessna Citation crashes, and head lines of "Small jet crashed during takeoff" and "Small jet crashed during landing".

Luckily, all crew and passengers were able to walk away in both accidents.

Brought to mind by the two recent Cessna Citation crashes (Cessna 560, Cessna 680A), and head lines of "Small jet crashed during takeoff" and "Small jet crashed during landing". Pretty sure their gross weights, 15900 lbs and 30800 lbs would push them out of the small category.
