Model & Market Context

This airframe, bearing U.S. registration N55SC, is a 2021 production example of the Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) with manufacturer serial 525C0363. The aircraft is owned and operated by AIR SCHARBAUER LLC, an Amarillo, Texas–based limited liability company; it is listed as U.S. registered and valued at $10,000,000. Built by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna), this CJ4 reflects a recent-build configuration and retains the factory-specified systems and options associated with the CJ4 Gen2 cabin and avionics fit. Maintenance and registry records for this specific serial indicate no additional public notations beyond standard ownership registration and valuation at the cited figure.

The airframe is configured with the typical executive CJ4 Gen2 cabin options offering an 8–11-place layout, including a belted lavatory and approximately 1,040 lb of baggage capacity, suited for light corporate transport and on-demand charter operations. Avionics are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting regional and transcontinental missions within the cited oceanic-equivalent range and enabling common IFR and high-altitude operational profiles. Based in Amarillo, TX under the ownership of AIR SCHARBAUER LLC, the aircraft’s mission set is consistent with business aviation roles—short- to medium-range executive travel, point-to-point corporate hops, and light cargo-accompanied personnel movements. Maintenance considerations follow standard CJ4 service intervals and inspection programs for contemporary Williams FJ44-4A–powered light jets.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability near 1,926 nm, high-speed cruise around 451 kts, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling—attributes attractive to corporate operators and charter providers. Competing types in this segment include other light-cabin jets with similar mission performance; buyers commonly evaluate total ownership costs, avionics suites such as the Collins Pro Line 21, and engine lifecycle on Williams FJ44 variants. For resale and charter market considerations, 2021-build examples like 525C0363 typically command premiums relative to older airframes, with valuation influenced by logbook continuity, installed cabin options, and operator/maintenance provenance.
