Model & Market Context
N494TB is a 2009 Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+ (Serial 525A0442) airframe registered in the United States and presently held by TRADEBOT SYSTEMS INC, a corporate owner based in Kansas City, MO, US. The airframe's manufacturer is Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.), and it carries the U.S. registration N494TB throughout its documented lifecycle. Operationally this airframe is configured and maintained for light executive transport missions consistent with CJ2+ role expectations. Valuation and detailed condition reports for this specific airframe are not published.
The cabin of this airframe follows the typical 6–8-place executive layout with single-pilot certified seating and is commonly fitted with belted lav seat options, reflecting its use for light corporate missions and owner/operator transport. Avionics are installed as a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, with an STC pathway available to upgrade to Garmin G3000, enabling modernization without major structural modification. With a maximum range of 1,781 nm and a cruise speed near 418 kts, the CJ2+ airframe is employed for short- to mid-range point-to-point flights from its operator base in Kansas City, MO, US. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include support for the twin Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines and the choices around avionics modernization which can affect downtime and resale positioning.
The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+ family occupies the light, fixed-wing multi-engine executive jet niche, offering trans-regional capability highlighted by 418 kts cruise and a 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient climb and cruise profiles. With an operational range of 1,781 nm and seating for 8, the platform targets owner/operators and corporate flight departments seeking single-pilot certification and compact cabin economics. Common market considerations for this airframe include the availability of avionics upgrade paths (Pro Line 21 to Garmin G3000) and ongoing support for the Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines, both of which influence maintenance planning and resale prospects.
