N551CA

This airframe, registered as N551CA, is a 2024 build of the Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 (Model 525C) manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc, serial number 525C0451. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in Salt Lake City, UT, US; ownership is recorded to that trustee entity and the FAA lists an 11-seat executive configuration. Notable registry entries include the 2024 build year and the FAA listing of an 11-seat executive layout; its reported market valuation is $7,500,000, reflecting a late-production Gen2 airframe in corporate trust ownership.

The cabin for N551CA is reported in an executive layout with the FAA listing 11 seats, consistent with upper-end CJ4 executive arrangements that typically seat 8–10 passengers but here configured for 11. Avionics fit is the typical Collins Pro Line 21 installation for the CJ4 series. With a cruise speed of 451 kts and a range of 2,165 nm, the airframe is well suited to regional corporate missions and transcontinental sectors from its home base in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft include support for the Williams FJ44-4A engines and Gen2-specific systems; as a 2024-build airframe, it benefits from recent production standards and a contemporary avionics suite.

As a Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 (Model 525C), this airframe occupies the light-cabin, long-range turbofan niche, offering high-speed cruise and a 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient high-altitude operations. The combination of a 2,165 nm range, 451 kts cruise, and an executive 11-seat layout targets owner-operators and corporate trust arrangements seeking modern capability with a documented valuation of $7,500,000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial ( 525C0451 ) reflect typical attention to engine lifecycle on the Williams FJ44-4A powerplants and the avionics/software currency of the Collins Pro Line 21 fit.
