N555JA

This airframe, registered as N555JA, is a 2018-build Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) with serial number 525C0284. The jet is owned by the corporation JOHNSON AIR LLC, based in Midland, Texas, and is registered in the US. Registered to a Midland, TX corporate operator, the airframe sits within the light-jet executive transport sector and is appraised at $8,250,000. Public registry entries indicate its manufacturer as Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna) and identify the airframe as a fixed-wing multi-engine executive aircraft with standard certification and typical executive cabin documentation.

The aircraft is configured with an executive cabin; the FAA registry lists 11 seats while typical operator layouts for the CJ4 family are between 7–10 passengers in an executive arrangement with an available belted lavatory option. The avionics fit is generally Collins Pro Line 21 for this model, although upgrade and configuration variations are possible on a per-aircraft basis. Operationally, this airframe’s mission profile aligns with short- to mid-range business trips given a maximum range of 2,165 nm and a cruise speed near 435 kts, making it suitable for corporate shuttle, on-demand charter, or owner-operator long-day missions out of Midland, TX. Maintenance considerations follow light-jet schedules for Williams FJ44-4A engines and CJ4 airframe inspections under Textron/Cessna service guidance.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) occupies the light corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental regional flexibility with a high single-digit cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in its class include other light jets that emphasize cabin comfort and short-field performance; market demand typically favors well-documented, low-cycle CJ4s with contemporary avionics. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will hinge on engine time, avionics upgrades from the baseline Collins Pro Line 21 fit, and completion/configuration choices that affect charter or private owner appeal.
