N414KU

This airframe, tail number N414KU, is a 2014 Cessna-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with manufacturer's serial 525C0175. The jet is owned by CRIMSON & BLUE SKIES LLC and is based in Lawrence, KS, US, operating on a United States registration (US). The airframe has a reported market valuation of $8,000,000, and registry records indicate it is configured and documented for typical executive operations including certification for up to eleven seats. Maintenance and operational entries traceable to the owner reflect an active light corporate mission profile rather than storage or long-term layup.

The cabin of this specific CJ4 is fitted in a typical executive layout, commonly arranged as an eight-passenger club seating but registered for up to 11 seats, reflecting flexibility between corporate owner usage and higher-capacity configurations. The avionics fit for this airframe is the Collins Pro Line 21 integrated suite, supporting single-pilot capable systems and advanced flight management appropriate to business-jet operations. With a long-range capability of 2,170 nm and a cruise speed near 451 kts, the aircraft is operated on regional transcontinental and point-to-point corporate missions from its base in Lawrence, KS, US. Engine choice—twin Williams FJ44-4A units—drives routine maintenance cycles focused on time-between-overhaul and accessory inspections typical for the type.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, combining high cruise speed, substantial range, and a pressurized, executive interior suitable for owner-operators and charter operators alike. For this airframe, the combination of a 45,000 ft ceiling, 2,170 nm range and a Collins Pro Line 21 fit targets buyers seeking efficient point-to-point business transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect standard light-jet economics: engine and avionics life limits, interior refurbishment cycles tied to owner usage, and a market valuation recorded here at $8,000,000, which informs depreciation and replacement parts planning for prospective operators.
