N565DR

This entry covers airframe N565DR, a factory-built Cessna Citation CJ4 (Model 525C, CJ4 Gen2) completed in 2023 with serial number 525C0422. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is registered to the corporation DRGK INC, based in Niagara Falls, NY, US, which is shown on FAA records as the current owner/operator. The airframe retains its original specification delivery configuration and factory options as reflected in the Generation 2 CJ4 build, and recent valuation assessments place the type-specific worth for this example at $11,000,000. No public record of prior ownership transfers or major registry actions beyond the initial corporate registration is listed in the supplied data.

The aircraft features a factory‑customizable executive cabin typical of CJ4 installations, with the supplied configuration noting a common 8–10 passenger executive layout but an FAA record listing 11 seats; cabin provisions include a forward refreshment/galley and an aft belted lavatory option. Avionics are completed in the Generation 2 CJ4 fit with a Collins Pro Line 21 integrated flight deck, supporting the aircraft’s high-speed regional business missions. With a long-range capability of 2,165 nm and a cruise speed near 451 kts, typical operations for N565DR would include transcontinental or high-frequency corporate shuttle missions from its Niagara Falls, NY base. Maintenance considerations follow Textron Aviation factory schedules for the Model 525C and Williams FJ44-4A engines, with operator logistics centralized under corporate ownership.

The CJ4 Gen2 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance sector of the business jet market, offering transcontinental range and fast cruise for point-to-point executive transport. Competing types include other light jets with similar speed and range budgets; demand generally favors corporate owners and charter operators seeking lower operating costs than midsize jets while retaining long-range capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect a 2023-build, low-calendar example with modern avionics (Collins Pro Line 21) and factory options, factors that typically support stronger residual value and easier marketability among buyers seeking recent-build light jets.
