The airframe N4CJ is a 2008-built Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4, serial 525C-714001, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation Inc.). The aircraft is owned by Textron Aviation Inc. (a corporation based in Wichita, KS, US) and is registered in the US. Valuation data for this specific airframe lists a market value of $9,000,000, and its configuration and maintenance history align with typical corporate executive use for the CJ4 series.

The cabin of this airframe is configured in an executive layout for 8–10 passengers with typical club seating, a forward refreshment/galley and a belted lavatory, supporting short- to mid-range corporate missions. Avionics fit for the series on this airframe is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, with acknowledgment that Gen2/Gen3 variants utilize updated systems; the installed Pro Line 21 is typical for CJ4-series operational avionics suites. Typical mission profiles for N4CJ would leverage the CJ4’s high cruise speed and long-range capability to operate point-to-point corporate flights; maintenance considerations reflect twin Williams FJ44-4A engines and executive interior amenities, which influence scheduled inspections and refurbishment cycles. The owner/operator base being Textron Aviation Inc. in Wichita, KS, US implies centralized OEM support and access to factory-level parts and service.

The Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4 occupies a fixed-wing multi-engine light jet niche characterized by high cruise speeds and transcontinental range for its class, as shown by this airframe’s 451 kts cruise and 2,165 nm range. Buyer and charter demand for CJ4 airframes is driven by a mix of owner-operators and fractional/charter operators seeking executive interiors with reliable Williams FJ44 engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific 2008 airframe include engine time, interior condition, avionics standardization on Pro Line 21, and the factory ownership linkage to Textron Aviation Inc., which can affect parts access and valuation at $9,000,000.
