N525EM

This airframe, registered as N525EM, is a 2010-built Cessna Citation CJ4 (Cessna Citation CJ4 (Model 525C)) bearing serial number 525C0007. The aircraft is owned by RANDY RHOADS AVIATION LLC of Twin Falls, Idaho, US, and is registered in the United States; available records indicate routine civil registry actions consistent with private LLC ownership. Broker and seller descriptions note an executive configuration and the airframe is valued in listings at approximately $5,550,684, reflecting its age, equipment (typical Pro Line 21 fit), and market condition among light-cabin business jets. The airframe’s documentation shows FAA certification for up to eleven seats while operator and marketing materials describe seven- and eight-place executive cabin layouts.

This specific CJ4 is typically presented with a seven-place executive cabin with a belted lavatory in seller and broker descriptions, although some listings report an eight-place executive layout and FAA records show certification for up to eleven seats; this reflects common interior variations offered on the model. The airframe is equipped with a Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, consistent with many CJ4 examples and confirmed in listings for this tail number, supporting modern flight-deck capabilities for single-pilot operation in light business jet use. Typical missions for this airframe would include regional and transcontinental executive travel within its approximately 2,165 nm range and high-speed cruise profile, operating from the owner’s base in Twin Falls, ID, and similar mid-size airports. Maintenance considerations follow the CJ4 fleet norms, with attention to Williams FJ44-4A engine program schedules and avionics support for Pro Line 21 systems.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (Model 525C) fills the light-cabin, high-performance niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering higher speed and range than earlier CJ-series models while retaining single-pilot certification potential. Competing aircraft in this class include other light-cabin turbofan types that prioritize short-field performance and efficient regional cruise, making the CJ4 attractive to owner-operators and charter fleets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2010 airframe center on engine program status, Pro Line 21 avionics support lifecycle, and interior configuration variability (7-, 8- or up to 11-seat certification), factors that materially affect utilization and market value among peers.
