N3LD

This airframe, registered as N3LD, is a Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) built in 2011 with serial number 525C0063. The aircraft is manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to acquisition by LUCKY DUCK ENTERPRISES LLC (an LLC based in El Paso, TX, US), which operates the jet from that home base; valuation records list the airframe at $6,500,000. No further notable registry actions are published for this tail; condition and valuation reflect a mature, service-ready Citation CJ4 airframe.

The cabin of this specific CJ4 is set up in an executive 8–11 passenger layout with a forward refreshment center and belted lav/seat options consistent with a typical CJ4 executive configuration; published descriptions list a common 8–10 passenger executive layout for the model. Avionics reporting for this airframe note a base Collins Pro Line 21 fit with Collins FMS-3000 options reported, supporting modern flight-management capabilities. Operationally the airframe’s performance (short-field capability, high cruise speed and 2,165 nm range) suits business and regional point-to-point missions operated from its El Paso base; maintenance considerations align with light jet twin-engine schedules typical for Williams FJ44-powered Citation variants.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) occupies the light-cabin, long-range segment of the Citation family, offering a blend of cruise speed (451 kts) and transcontinental range (2,165 nm) for owner-operators and charter operators. Competing models include other light-to-super-light jets offering similar payload-range tradeoffs; buyer and charter demand typically favors CJ4s for corporate point-to-point missions and owner-operated long regional hops. From a resale and maintenance perspective, common considerations include Williams FJ44 engine support, Pro Line avionics lifecycle, and market pricing that places well-maintained 2011 CJ4 airframes near the multi-million-dollar valuation reflected here.
