N111BP

This article describes a single airframe, the business jet registered as N111BP, a factory-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 (CitationJet 4) manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc in 2023 with serial number 525C0431. The airframe is owned and operated by ALABAMA FARMERS COOPERATIVE INC, a corporation based in Decatur, AL, US, and is registered in the US. The entry reflects the aircraft’s fresh-build status and corporate ownership; there are no recorded changes of registry or notable historical events beyond its factory delivery and placement in corporate service. Condition is that of a recent production example and is consistent with typical post-delivery completion for a 2023 build.

The airframe is completed in an executive configuration typical of the CJ4 lineage, with a cabin layout that commonly accommodates 7–10 passenger seats in corporate interiors while the aircraft is certificated for 11 seats overall; cabin dimensions are 17 ft 4 in in length, 58 in in width, and 57 in in height. Typical avionics fit for factory CJ4s is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, with a commonly installed Collins Venue cabin management system to manage in-flight entertainment and connectivity. Operationally, this aircraft suits short- to mid-range corporate missions from Decatur and the surrounding regional network, leveraging a 2,165 nm mission radius and a high cruise speed for efficient point-to-point travel. Maintenance considerations follow CJ4 fleet practices for Williams FJ44-4A engine programs and OEM avionics support.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 (CitationJet 4) occupies the light-to-light-medium business jet niche, offering higher speed and range than earlier CitationJet variants while retaining single-pilot capability in many operations. Competitors in the segment include later-model light jets and small midsize turbofan entrants that offer similar cruise speed and transcontinental short-haul capability. Buyer and charter demand for late-production CJ4s emphasizes low-hour airframes with modern avionics and cabin management, while resale and maintenance considerations focus on engine program status for the Williams FJ44-4A powerplants and the lifecycle support for Pro Line 21 avionics installations.
