N448CJ

The airframe bearing tail number N448CJ is a 2014-built Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) with manufacturer serial 525C0163. It is owned by Wings & Wheels LLC, an LLC based in Menlo Park, CA, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s factory designation and serial place it within the later production run of the CJ4 line, and current records identify Wings & Wheels LLC as the registered owner and operator based from Menlo Park. No public record of additional owners or major registry actions is provided in the supplied data.

This specific CJ4 is outfitted in a typical executive cabin configuration accommodating 7–9 passengers, featuring a forward refreshment center, club seating and an enclosed lavatory suitable for business or charter missions. Avionics fit for CJ4 production models is listed as Collins Pro Line 21, which supports complex airspace and high-performance navigation typical of the class; note that later CJ4 Gen3 examples use Garmin G3000, a distinction relevant for avionics commonality. Operationally, the aircraft’s long range of 2,165 nm and cruise speed of 451 kts make it suitable for transcontinental point-to-point missions, owner/operator corporate travel, and on-demand charter sectors operating out of the Menlo Park Bay Area. Maintenance considerations follow typical light jet practices for the Williams FJ44 series and CJ4 airframe inspections; no specific maintenance status or condition reports are included in the supplied data.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) occupies the light jet niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering a combination of high cruise speed and long range relative to earlier CJ-series models. Competing aircraft in its class include other light-to-midsize business jets offering similar performance and cabin amenities. Buyer and charter demand for CJ4s is driven by their operational efficiency, useful payload, and range; resale and maintenance considerations commonly hinge on avionics fit (e.g., Pro Line 21 versus G3000 retrofits), engine cycles on Williams FJ44-4A powerplants, and overall completion and equipment levels.
