The aircraft was manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is currently registered in the US to N43KA LLC, an LLC based in Provo, UT, US; it is registered to N43KA LLC in Provo, UT. No further notable registry actions are published for this airframe.

The cabin of N43KA in the Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 configuration accommodates up to 11 seats and is typically arranged for executive or short-to-medium-haul charter missions, balancing passenger capacity with baggage and range capability. Avionics on this specific airframe consist of a Collins Pro Line 21 suite, which supports performance planning for long-range hops and single-pilot or two-pilot operations under civil air transport rules. Operating out of its owner’s base in Provo, UT, US, the aircraft’s profile supports point-to-point regional business travel, medevac or charter work within its 2,165 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. Maintenance considerations follow typical CJ4 programs for Williams FJ44-4A engine management and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle support.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the super-light to light business jet niche, offering transcontinental reach for short-field-capable missions with cruise speeds around 451 kts. Competing models in this category include other light jets that prioritize a mix of speed, cabin flexibility, and low operating costs. Buyer and charter demand for late-model CJ4s remains supported by the model’s performance and single-pilot capability, while resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine hours for the Williams FJ44-4A pair and avionics upgrades relative to platforms using newer flight decks.
