N57HC

This entry concerns airframe N57HC, a production Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 completed in 2023 with serial number 525C0429. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Bridgeport Associates Inc (a corporation based in Boston, MA, USA) and is registered in the US. There are no additional public registry actions noted for this specific airframe; valuation records list the airframe at $11,855,000, reflecting a recent-production CJ4 example in expected condition for its model year.

The airframe is outfitted in an executive 8-seat layout featuring a forward galley and an enclosed lavatory, consistent with corporate transport and on-demand charter configurations. Avionics for this CJ4 airframe follow the typical fit of Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, supporting integrated flight management, flight director/autopilot coupling, and modern situational awareness suites. Operating from an owner base in Boston, MA, USA, the aircraft’s mission profile is suited to short- to medium-haul executive travel, business shuttles and single-leg transcontinental hops within its 2,165 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 451 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with manufacturer schedules for Williams FJ44-4A powerplants and Pro Line 21 avionics support networks.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance turbofan niche offering transcontinental range and a high-service ceiling of 45,000 ft, appealing to corporate flight departments and fractional/charter operators. Competitors in the segment include other light-cabin jets that balance speed, range and operating economics; the CJ4’s typical Pro Line 21 fit and two Williams FJ44-4A engines support robust dispatch reliability. For buyers and operators, considerations for acquisition and resale include engine time accumulation, avionics updates, and the strong market demand for late-model CJ4s—reflected in the airframe’s listed value of $11,855,000.
