N500WD

This article concerns airframe N500WD, a Cessna 525B (Citation CJ4) built in 2012 with serial number 525B0393. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as currently owned by N500WD LLC, based in Versailles, OH, US, with no public record of earlier registry actions disclosed here. The airframe reflects a typical-condition 2012 CJ4 example and carries an indicated market valuation of $6,600,000, consistent with late-model light-citation turbofan pricing for a 2012 airframe in operational configuration. No additional notable registry actions or major incidents are published in the provided data.

The cabin of N500WD is arranged in a typical eight-passenger executive layout and the airframe is noted as having a single‑pilot certified option available, matching common CJ4 interiors for business and owner-operated missions. Avionics fit is listed as Collins Pro Line 21 (typical CJ4 fit), providing an integrated flight deck suited to high-speed, cross-country executive operations and single‑pilot use when so equipped. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include regional point-to-point business trips and charter missions within its 2,170 nm range capability and high cruise speed of 451 kts, operating from the owner/operator base in Versailles, Ohio. Maintenance considerations follow standard CJ4 practices for twin FJ44 powerplants and Pro Line avionics suites; specific maintenance status beyond the basic data provided is not published.

The Cessna 525B (Citation CJ4) occupies the light jet niche within the Citation family, offering extended range and higher cruise speed compared with earlier CJ-series models. Its combination of the WILLIAMS FJ44-3A engines and Pro Line avionics makes it competitive against similarly sized light-cabin jets in charter and owner-operator markets. Buyer and charter demand for CJ4s typically emphasizes single‑pilot capability, range and speed, and ease of maintenance; resale considerations for this 2012 airframe will reflect total time on engines/airframe, avionics upgrades, and interior condition relative to the indicated market value of $6,600,000.
