N477RF

This entry covers airframe N477RF, a Cessna 525C CitationJet 4 (Citation CJ4) built by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna) in 2017 with serial number 525C0258. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by EDGINGTON TRANSPORT LLC, an LLC based in Livermore, CA, US; ownership is recorded to that Livermore-based LLC in registry data. The airframe's recorded configuration and registry entries list it as a standard CJ4 build with executive outfitting options; notable administrative entries include its US registration and the cabin seating capacity documented on the registry.

The registry lists up to 11 seats for this airframe, while common executive layouts for the model place the cabin in 8–10 passenger club arrangements; this airframe is typically configured in an executive layout consistent with charter and corporate missions. The avionics fit is the typical CJ4 installation, Collins Pro Line 21, supporting advanced navigation, integrated flight displays and common corporate avionics workflows. With a long-range capability of 2,165 nm, cruise speed around 451 kts, and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the aircraft is suited to regional to transcontinental point-to-point executive missions operated from its home base in Livermore, CA. Routine line maintenance follows CJ4 schedules for Williams FJ44-4A engines and Pro Line avionics, with standard executive interior upkeep for club-style seating and cabin systems.

The Cessna 525C CitationJet 4 (Citation CJ4) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment, offering notable speed and range for its class driven by twin Williams FJ44-4A engines. Competing types include light-to-midsize business jets that trade cabin size for longer range or larger payload; the CJ4's combination of 451 kt cruise and 2,165 nm range makes it attractive to owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficiency on regional and near-transcontinental sectors. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor aircraft with Pro Line avionics such as Collins Pro Line 21 and well-documented maintenance histories; resale considerations focus on engine cycles for the FJ44-4A pair and interior condition given executive seating configurations.
