N65DD

This article covers airframe N65DD, a 2014-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with serial number 525C0151. The airframe is manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US. It is owned by LUCKY MAN LLC, an LLC based in Missoula, MT, US, and is listed on U.S. civil aircraft registers under that entity; registered ownership is recorded to LUCKY MAN LLC in Missoula, Montana. No other historic operator changes are published for this specific tail number in the provided data.

The cabin on N65DD is an executive single-class layout typical of Citation CJ4 installations, with registry information citing 11 seats though factory executive fit commonly seats 8–9 passengers; an enclosed lavatory is fitted and baggage capacity is 77 ft³. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to mid-range business trips within the aircraft’s 2,165 nm radius at cruise speeds around 451 kts, operating from the owner/operator’s home base in Missoula, MT, US for executive transport and on-demand charter operations. The avionics package is the typical factory fit, Collins Pro Line 21, supporting modern IFR operations and advanced flight management; maintenance considerations align with light-cabin business jets powered by twin Williams FJ44-4A turbofans, including engine inspections and avionics software/retrofit lifecycle events.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin business jet niche with transcontinental short-haul performance, high cruise speed, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, competing against types such as the Embraer Phenom 300 and Bombardier Learjet variants in owner-operator and charter markets. Buyer and charter demand typically emphasizes cabin flexibility (8–9 passenger executive fit despite registry listing of 11 seats), low-hour engines like the Williams FJ44-4A, and modern avionics such as Collins Pro Line 21; resale and maintenance considerations often focus on engine time, avionics currency, and documented operator-based upkeep records.
