N701AL

This specific airframe, registered as N701AL, is a 1996-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with serial number 525C0169. The aircraft is owned and operated by the Alabama Department of Transportation, based in Montgomery, AL, US, and is entered on the U.S. civil registry. The airframe is recorded as government-owned and used for departmental missions, and its documented market valuation is $7,100,000, reflecting its condition and equipment fit for public-sector operations. No other prior ownership entries or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data.

The cabin is fitted in a typical seven-place executive club layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, described in the supplied data as an executive/short‑range configuration. Avionics are typical for the CJ4-series, equipped with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting modern navigation, communication and flight management needs for state-level transport and inspection missions. Operational use for this airframe under the Alabama Department of Transportation would typically include short- to medium-range executive transport, project inspection flights and personnel movement within the continental U.S., leveraging the CJ4’s cruise speed of 417 kts and a maximum practical operating ceiling of 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations reflect the CJ4’s twin Williams FJ44-4A turbofan installations and government maintenance regimes appropriate for department-owned aircraft.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-citation segment of fixed-wing multi-engine business jets, offering a balance of transcontinental short-range capability and efficient twin‑engine operation as shown by the 2,165 nm range and high cruise speed. Key buyers include corporate, charter and government operators seeking compact cabins with robust avionics fits such as the Collins Pro Line 21. In resale and maintenance markets, CJ4-series airframes are judged on engine cycles of the Williams FJ44 family, avionics retrofits and interior condition — factors that influence valuation around the documented $7,100,000 level for this specific government‑operated example.
