The current recorded owner is JDI HOLDINGS LLC (an LLC based in Allentown, PA, US), and the aircraft is registered in the US.

This airframe is equipped with a typical eight-place executive cabin configured for single-pilot operations; the cabin dimensions are approximately 17.3 ft in length, 58 in in width and 57 in in height, supporting an executive layout for regional business missions. Avionics aboard follow the common CJ4 installation of the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, enabling modern glass-cockpit single-pilot IFR capability and situational awareness for business and owner-operator use. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft would include short to mid-range continental trips up to its published range, point-to-point corporate flights, and premium charter roles; specific configured amenities or unique cabin modifications for this airframe are not published. Routine maintenance considerations align with the twin Williams FJ44-4A turbofan engines and the Citation CJ4 airframe inspection intervals as applied to this serial.
The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 sits in the light jet performance niche, offering higher cruise speed and range relative to earlier Citation CJ family members while retaining single-pilot capability and an executive eight-seat cabin. Competing models occupy similar mission profiles and include other light-to-midsize business jets that target owner-operators and small charter operators; the CJ4’s combination of 451 kts cruise and 1,913 nm range underscores its appeal for regional corporate transport. Market considerations for this airframe include engine time on the Williams FJ44-4A pair, avionics configuration with Pro Line 21, and the airframe’s maintenance history and log completeness, all of which materially influence resale and charter market demand.
