N525KJ

This airframe, registered as N525KJ, is a 2014-built Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) with serial number 525C0155. The aircraft is owned by JACKSON FAMILY ENTERPRISES INC, a corporation based in Santa Rosa, California, and is U.S.-registered. Notable registry information includes a seating discrepancy: broker listings show a 9-passenger executive cabin fit while the official registry records 11 seats, a point that has appeared in sales and charter documentation. The airframe is valued at approximately $7,200,000, reflecting its mid-decade build, avionics fit, and executive interior configuration.

The specific cabin of this CJ4 is listed in broker material as a 9-passenger executive layout featuring a forward galley/refreshment area, club seating, and an aft belted lavatory; the registry, however, records an 11-seat capacity. Avionics are centered on the Collins Pro Line 21 suite with a Collins FMS-3000, triple VHF radios, and an onboard Gogo ATG-4000 Wi‑Fi system, supporting modern flight planning and passenger connectivity. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional corporate transportation and owner-operator missions from its Santa Rosa, CA home base, leveraging the CJ4’s 2,165 nm range and 451 kt cruise for transcontinental and West Coast hops. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would align with CJ4 fleet norms, including monitoring of Williams FJ44-4A engine times and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle items.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) occupies a light to midsize business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft service ceiling suitable for efficient regional and near-transcontinental operations. Competing models in its segment include variants of the Embraer Phenom 300 and the late-model Learjet and HondaJet family, with buyer demand driven by low direct operating costs and cabin flexibility. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2014 vintage, avionics pedigree (Pro Line 21/FMS-3000), and the documented interior configuration differences that prospective buyers and brokers typically reconcile during pre-purchase inspection and title searches.
