N496LT

This entry concerns airframe N496LT, a factory-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 Gen2 completed in 2024 with serial number 525C0444. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by LT WINGS AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Paris, TX, US. Delivered new to LT WINGS AVIATION LLC in 2024, the airframe carries typical new-production fit and is currently valued at $11,800,000. Registry records and ownership details indicate single-owner status since manufacture and operational basing in Paris, Texas.

The on-board cabin in N496LT follows a typical 8–11 passenger executive layout with a forward galley and a belted lavatory, and provision for approximately 77 cu ft of baggage. Avionics are provided by Collins Pro Line 21, supporting modern flight-deck operations appropriate for single- or two-pilot dispatches under common business-aviation operating rules. Typical mission profiles for this airframe emphasize regional and transcontinental business travel within its 2,165 nm range and high-speed cruise of 451 kts, with operations taking advantage of its 45,000 ft service ceiling. Maintenance and operational planning will reflect the twin Williams FJ44-4A engine architecture and standard light‑jet support cycles for a 2024 factory delivery.

As a member of the Citation CJ4 Gen2 family, N496LT embodies the platform’s emphasis on high cruise speeds, extended range for its class, and executive cabin flexibility. The aircraft’s combination of 451 kts cruise, 2,165 nm range and seating for up to 11 positions it squarely in the light‑jet business market segment where demand typically centers on owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficiency and stage-length capability. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe will reference its new-production status, the widely supported Williams FJ44-4A powerplant, and the installed Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite when establishing long-term operating costs and residual value.
