N163M

The airframe with tail number N163M is a 2011-built light jet, a Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and bearing serial number 525C0035. It is owned by DATA CENTER SERVICES LEASING LLC, a corporation based in Salem, OR, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe's documentation indicates normal commercial registration activity consistent with corporate ownership and leasing use; it is recorded as owned by the named leasing corporation in Salem, Oregon. Contemporary valuation places the aircraft at approximately $6,250,000, reflecting its build year and typical market condition for a 2011 CJ4.

This specific CJ4 is outfitted in a typical executive cabin layout accommodating 8–11 passengers with an enclosed lavatory and external baggage access, consistent with corporate transport and light charter missions. Avionics fit for this airframe is the Collins Pro Line 21, supporting regional business operations, single-leg city pairs and frequent short-to-medium range trips within the aircraft’s 2,165 nm capability. Operated under corporate ownership from Salem, Oregon, the aircraft suits high-utilization leasing or on-demand charter profiles; its documented ownership by a leasing entity suggests allocation to varied corporate operators over its service life. Maintenance considerations align with the CJ4 fleet standard—twin Williams FJ44-4A engines and Pro Line avionics dictate established support pathways and parts commonality.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, long-range end of the Citation family, offering high cruise speed (451 kts) and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, making it competitive for transregional business travel. Rival models in this niche include later light jets and small-cabin midsize types that vie on range, cabin space and operating costs; the CJ4’s combination of performance and established aftermarket support sustains demand in buyer and charter markets. For this 2011 airframe, resale and lease prospects are influenced by age, avionics fit (Collins Pro Line 21) and the prevalent maintenance status; the listed market value of $6,250,000 reflects these factors in current secondary-market contexts.
