N4976H

The airframe registered as N4976H is a 2002-built Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2, serial number 525A-0130, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The jet is owned by Sky Blue Aviation Sales LLC, a corporation based in Bessemer, AL, US, and is registered in the US. Its documented configuration and ownership indicate operation from a corporate-owner registry rather than a fractional or airline operator, with ownership changes noted when the airframe entered the sales company’s portfolio. Condition and valuation are typically assessed against CJ2 market comparables and retrofit status, with specific appraisal results not published in the provided data.

This airframe is commonly fitted with a typical seven-place executive club cabin, described as Typical 7-place executive club layout; forward service galley and optional aft lavatory (config varies), reflecting variability in interior fit depending on owner retrofit choices. Avionics aboard CJ2s of this vintage are frequently a Collins Pro Line 21 installation, though the fit can vary by airframe and retrofit, affecting avionics capabilities, certification paperwork, and maintenance planning. Typical missions for N4976H would include short-to-medium-range corporate transportation and on-demand charter work within its 1,550 nm range and high-speed cruise capability near 410 kts, operating from the owner’s regional base in Bessemer, AL or nearby airports. Maintenance considerations center on engine life-limited parts for the Williams FJ44-2C units and avionics retrofit programs when upgrading older Pro Line 21 systems.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business jet niche, offering transcontinental regional capability with a max cruise around 410 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing types include other light jets with similar range and seating, and buyers typically prioritize operating economy, dispatch reliability, and interior flexibility. For resale, airframe serials like 525A-0130 are benchmarked on engine cycles, avionics standard (Pro Line 21 vs. modern upgrades), and interior condition; maintenance history for the two Williams FJ44-2C engines is a primary determinant of market demand.
