N51AC

This entry documents airframe N51AC, a 2018-built example of the Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) with serial number 525C0276. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by AVIS INDUSTRIAL CORP, a corporation based in Upland, IN, US, which is the known operator/home base for this airframe. There are no published extraordinary registry actions or accident histories tied to this specific tail; its market valuation at the time of record is listed at $9,495,000, reflecting a relatively recent manufacture year and contemporary systems fit. Condition highlights tied to this entry reflect factory-standard equipment and avionics common to the CJ4/525C production run rather than exotic aftermarket modifications.

The cabin of this CJ4 airframe is the large-light configuration commonly arranged in a 6–10 passenger executive layout, and the specific entry notes seating for 11, with a typical forward galley and a lavatory and baggage capacity around 77 cubic feet. Avionics fit for this unit follows the common factory installation of Collins Pro Line 21, a suite that supports typical business-jet mission profiles including high-speed regional travel and single-crew operation in many charter configurations. Operational use for N51AC would therefore typically include transcontinental or regional executive transport within the aircraft’s 2,165 nm range and cruise speed of 451 kts, operating from its base in Upland, IN, US or similar continental U.S. hubs. Maintenance considerations are consistent with twin Williams FJ44-4A powerplants and the CJ4/525C logistics stream, with attention to engine shop visits and Pro Line 21 avionics support.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) sits in the light jet segment and, as exemplified by 525C0276, delivers a blend of transregional range, high cruise speed and a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft, competing with other light-to-light-medium jets in capability. Typical competitors for buyers or charter operators include modern light jets offering similar speed/range figures; resale and maintenance value for a 2018 CJ4 benefits from commonality of the Pro Line 21 avionics and the popular Williams FJ44 series engines. Fleet operators value the CJ4 for its roomy cabin relative to light-jet peers and flexible mission profile, while prospective buyers and lessors monitor engine TBO cycles, avionics upgrades and overall market demand when assessing a $9,495,000 valuation for an airframe like N51AC.
