N501DJ

The airframe bearing registration N501DJ is a 2020-built light business jet, a Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with manufacturer serial number 525C0324. The aircraft is owned by CSC DELAWARE TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the US; the registration and trust ownership record are the principal public registry entries associated with this airframe. Valued at approximately $8,000,000, the jet represents a relatively recent production example of the CJ4 line, with condition and configuration consistent with typical executive service for the model year.

This airframe is commonly outfitted in an executive configuration; the cabin for this example reflects the typical OEM/operational layout of a forward divan, a four-place club, and two forward-facing chairs, yielding an executive seating arrangement that commonly accommodates 8–9 passengers while the aircraft is certificated for 11 seats. The installed avionics package is the Collins Pro Line 21 in its typical factory fit, with modernized retrofit options available as operators require; this supports the CJ4’s mission profile of short- to mid-range business travel. Typical operations for this airframe would include point-to-point executive transport, regional charters, and corporate missions within its 2,165 nm range and cruise speed near 451 kts. Maintenance considerations for this particular jet follow fleet norms for Williams FJ44-4A–powered Citation aircraft, including time-between-overhaul and component shop visit schedules that affect dispatch reliability and operating cost for trust-owned corporate fleet assets.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light/entry-super-light segment of business jets, offering long range and high cruise speed relative to earlier Citation variants. Competing models in this performance niche include newer light-cabin jets and upgraded variants from other manufacturers, where buyer and charter demand emphasizes operational efficiency, runway performance, and modern avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2020 airframe hinge on engine maintenance status, avionics standardization (Collins Pro Line 21), and configuration; the recorded trust ownership and U.S. registration are typical of owner/operator structures used to manage liability and asset disposition in the pre-owned market.
