N1K

This entry covers airframe N1K, a factory-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 delivered in 2022 with serial number 525C0390. The jet is registered in the US and is owned by the corporate operator Macneil Aviation LLC, based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US. The airframe’s public valuation is listed at $11,000,000 and its configuration and avionics reflect the typical Citation CJ4 specification for late-production examples. No additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions are recorded in the supplied data.

The cabin for this airframe is fitted in an executive layout accommodating 8–11 passenger seating with options for club seating and an optional belted lavatory, indicating flexibility between business transport and light charter missions. Typical avionics for the CJ4 family are present in this airframe, with a Collins Pro Line 21 fit identified as the typical CJ4 installation. With a range of 2,165 nm and a cruise of 451 kts, the aircraft is suitable for regional cross-country flights and short transcontinental hops from its Fort Lauderdale base. Corporate operation by Macneil Aviation LLC implies an emphasis on executive transport and charter availability rather than scheduled airline service. Maintenance considerations for this specific jet center on the twin Williams FJ44-4A turbofans and systems common to late-model CJ4s, while resale and valuation reflect its recent build year (2022) and contemporary avionics fit.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, long-range end of the light business jet market, offering higher cruise speed and payload than earlier Citation models while retaining single-pilot capability in many configurations. Competing types typically include light-to-midsize jets offering similar ranges and cabin flexibility; buyer demand often targets corporate owners and charter operators seeking efficient regional transport. For this airframe, the modern Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite and twin Williams FJ44-4A engines support competitive operating economics, although maintenance and resale considerations will reflect hours, cycles, and operator upkeep beyond the supplied baseline data.
