N690AC

The airframe bearing registration N690AC is a 2022-built Cessna Citation CJ4 (Model 525C) constructed by Textron Aviation Inc. and assigned serial number 525C0384. This specific airframe is owned by PERFORMANCE CONTRACTORS INC (a corporation based in Baton Rouge, LA, US) and appears on U.S. civil registry under that corporate ownership. The aircraft's recent build year and corporate single-owner status suggest a relatively young, low-time example within the CJ4 fleet. Recorded registry information indicates operation from a Baton Rouge, Louisiana base under corporate control, with no publicly listed prior owners or notable incident entries in the supplied data.

The airframe is certificated for operation with up to 11 occupants (two crew plus nine passengers) per the FAA type certificate data sheet, though typical executive interiors for the model commonly accommodate eight to ten passengers in more spacious configurations. This specific CJ4 is equipped with the Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite as the standard Gen2 fit; later CJ4 Gen3 builds transition to the Garmin G3000 PRIME on newer production runs. Typical missions for the platform operated by a corporate owner include short- to mid-range business travel across domestic U.S. city pairs within the aircraft's approximately 2,165 nm range and high-speed cruise capability near 451 kts, with operations exploiting the 45,000 ft service ceiling for efficient, long-range positioning and charter-style point-to-point trips. Maintenance considerations for a 2022 CJ4 emphasize adherence to Williams engine programmes and Collins avionics support pathways under Textron service networks.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (Model 525C) occupies the light/very light business jet niche with a combination of transcontinental range, high cruise speed and single-pilot capability in many configurations, competing against models such as the Embraer Phenom 300 and Pilatus PC-24 in mission profile. Demand from corporate and charter operators typically favors low-cycle, late-build examples like this 2022 serial 525C0384, which benefit resale and charter marketability due to newer certification standards and avionics provisions. Maintenance and resale considerations focus on Williams FJ44-4A engine time tracking, Collins avionics lifecycle, and documentation continuity under corporate ownership by PERFORMANCE CONTRACTORS INC.
