The Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) occupies the light-cabin, long-range end of the Citation family, offering a balance of single-pilot capability, efficient turbofan engines, and transcontinental range of 2,165 nm. Competing models in the market niche include light-to-midsize business jets offering similar payload-range and cabin comfort. Buyer and charter demand for CJ4-series airframes tends to emphasize low operating costs, modern avionics such as Collins Pro Line 21, and strong dispatch reliability—factors that influence resale value and leasing appeal for a 2010 airframe valued at $6,000,000. Maintenance considerations center on engine time limits for the Williams FJ44-4A units and avionics upgrade paths to sustain marketability.
