N2KC

This entry describes airframe N2KC, a factory-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 completed in 2022 with manufacturer serial number 525C0399 by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna). The aircraft is registered in the US and is registered to SIERRA FLIGHT LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, which is the listed owner and likely operator/home base for routine operations. Recorded value for this specific airframe is $9,500,000, reflecting a relatively recent-build Citation CJ4 in executive configuration. There are no additional publicly noted transfers or exceptional registry actions recorded in the supplied data beyond the current ownership and registration.

The onboard accommodation is an executive layout described as typical 8–10 passenger club/sofa arrangements within a cabin length of 17 ft 4 in and an approximate cabin volume of 293 cu ft, with an additional 77 cu ft of baggage space; the installed seating capacity is listed as 11. Avionics fit for this airframe follows the typical CJ4 installation with Collins Pro Line 21, supporting mixed business-aviation missions, single-leg ranges up to 2,165 nm, and high-speed cruise at 451 kts. Operated from a US base under SIERRA FLIGHT LLC, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range corporate charter or owner-flown missions with emphasis on speed, cabin comfort, and transregional connectivity. Maintenance considerations reflect a modern, low-time CJ4 with Williams FJ44-4A engines and contemporary avionics, implying standard OEM/third-party inspection cycles for a 2022 airframe.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, light-jet niche with high cruise speed and transcontinental short-stage capability, exemplified here by a 45,000 ft ceiling and 2,165 nm range. Typical competitors include other light-cabin jets offering similar speed and range; demand among buyers and charter operators favors recent-build, well-equipped examples like this 2022 airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations for a CJ4 of this vintage and configuration center on engine TBO planning for the Williams FJ44-4A pair, avionics currency for Collins Pro Line 21, and market valuation drivers consistent with the stated $9,500,000 figure.
