N357BV

This airframe, registered as N357BV, is a Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 built in 2011 with serial number 525C0060. The aircraft is owned by Hilltop Aviation Services LLC, a corporate owner listed on the US registry. It carries a US registration (US) and retains the typical original fit and equipment consistent with early CJ4 deliveries. No public record of additional owners or notable registry actions is published beyond the current corporate ownership.

The cabin of N357BV is fitted in a typical executive layout for 6–8 passengers, featuring club seating with forward seats and an externally-serviceable lavatory; baggage capacity is approximately ~77 cu ft. Avionics are the typical original CJ4 fit, the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, providing integrated flight management, weather radar, and flight director capabilities consistent with operator business and light charter missions. With a cruise speed of 451 kts and a range of 2,165 nm, the aircraft is well suited to point-to-point regional and transcontinental executive transport, short-notice charter work, and corporate travel. Maintenance considerations align with CJ4 norms—two Williams FJ44-4A turbofan engines and Pro Line 21 avionics support common parts and service networks for Textron-built light jets.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance end of the light business jet market, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental capability within a compact airframe. Competing models in this niche include later-configured light jets from Embraer and Bombardier that target similar mission profiles; buyers and charter operators value the CJ4 for its combination of speed, range, and operating economics. For resale and maintenance, common considerations include engine shop visits for the Williams FJ44-4A series, Pro Line 21 avionics support, and airframe fatigue inspections typical of early-2010s airframes.
