N345NE

This entry documents airframe N345NE, a Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with manufacturer serial number 525C0483. The aircraft is built by Textron Aviation Inc. and is owned by TEXTRON AVIATION INC of Wichita, KS, US; the FAA registration reflects corporate ownership and a US registration status. Build year: Not published. The registry shows corporate stewardship rather than private or fractional operation, and valuation listings place the airframe at $7,100,000, indicating market value consistent with well-equipped late-model light-cabin business jets. Not published: notable transaction dates and condition reports.

FAA registration records indicate a 6-seat executive layout for N345NE, reflecting a typical light-cabin corporate interior configured for executive transport. Detailed avionics fit and interior finish specifications are not published; however, the CJ4 platform and the stated cruise and range performance suggest missions spanning short- to mid-range point-to-point corporate travel, often nonstop regional flights in North America. Based at the owner’s location in Wichita, KS for registry purposes, the aircraft’s twin Williams FJ44-4A turbofans influence maintenance planning and component life-cycle management, including time-between-overhaul and shop visit scheduling typical for the engine type. Cabin amenities and specific maintenance status: Not published.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment of the business jet market, offering transcontinental capability for mission profiles enabled by a 2,165 nm range and high cruise speed of 451 kts. Competing models include other light-cabin offerings from Embraer and Bombardier, where buyers evaluate cabin size, avionics, and operating cost; the CJ4’s Williams FJ44-4A engines provide a balance of thrust (3,621 lbf) and efficiency that factors into operating economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe focus on engine program enrollment, avionics upgrades, and documented ownership and maintenance history, elements that are only partially published in the registry for N345NE.
