Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N409CJ is a Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4 built by Textron Aviation Inc in 2023, constructor serial 525C0409. The aircraft is registered in the US and is currently owned by CARRIAGE DPB LLC, an LLC based in Gainesville, GA, US; this ownership represents the principal known corporate custodian on record. No additional ownership transfers or historic operators are published in the supplied data. The airframe is valued at $11,595,000, reflecting a modern-production, low-time example of the CJ4 sub-type.
The aircraft is equipped in an executive cabin layout typical of the CJ4, with certification for up to 11 seats and a common executive fit of 7–10 passengers; an optional two-seat couch configuration is noted as available. Avionics are provided by a typical Generation 2 fit of the Collins Pro Line 21, supporting the operational profile of short‑to‑medium haul corporate missions. Based in Gainesville, GA, US by owner registration, the CJ4 airframe is suited to business travel, regional charters, and owner‑operator transport over its 2,165 nm range at cruise speeds around 451 kts, operating up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations align with modern-production Citation standards and the airframe’s factory-installed systems as specified.
The Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4 occupies the light/citation light segment with transcontinental-ish range and high cruise speed relative to earlier Citation models. Powered by twin Williams FJ44-4A engines producing 3,443 lbf each, it competes with other light business jets offering similar cabin flexibility and performance. Buyer demand typically favors recent-production, low-hour examples for charter and corporate use; resale and maintenance profiles reflect factory support from Textron Aviation Inc and commonality of Pro Line avionics fits such as the Collins Pro Line 21.
