N54BD

The airframe bearing tail number N54BD is a Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 built as serial 525C0206 by Textron Aviation Inc.. The aircraft is registered in the US and is currently owned and operated from Lubbock, Texas by Brownie Air LLC; the airframe’s transfer into Brownie Air LLC’s registry represents the most recent recorded ownership change. The example is maintained in an executive configuration and is valued at $9,000,000, reflecting its CJ4 capability and equipment fit. No additional build-year or prior-operator data are published in the supplied records.

The cabin for this specific CJ4 is configured in a typical executive layout for 8–10 passengers with a forward galley and an optional belted lavatory, matching the common executive interior fit found on 525C examples. Avionics aboard examples of this variant are typically the Collins Pro Line 21, providing operator-standard flightdeck capability for business missions. Operating from Lubbock, Texas, the aircraft is well suited to regional and transcontinental trips within its 2,170 nm range and high-speed cruise capability; common mission profiles include point-to-point corporate travel, on-demand charter, and owner-operated business flights. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on its twin Williams FJ44-4A engines and systems associated with the Pro Line 21 suite, with routine inspections and engine monitoring driving operating cycles and service scheduling.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light business jet performance niche, offering a blend of high cruise speed (451 kts), useful cabin capacity, and transregional range (2,170 nm) that appeals to owner-operators and charter operators alike. At an indicated market value of $9,000,000, this airframe competes in a segment where buyers weigh operating costs, dispatch reliability, and cabin flexibility; resale considerations commonly reflect total time, engine cycles on the FJ44-4A engines, and avionics standardization such as the Collins Pro Line 21 fit.
