N713CS

The airframe bearing tail number N713CS is a 2013-built Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C), serial number 525C-0120, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.). The airframe is recorded as owned by Cessna Finance Export Corp, a corporate lessor based in Wichita, KS, US, and is registered in the US. Retained on the manufacturer’s finance register since delivery, this specific CJ4 carries a reported market valuation of $6,700,000, reflecting typical mid‑life value for a well-equipped light business jet of its vintage.

The cabin in this aircraft conforms to a typical executive layout, accommodating club/pedestal arrangements for 7–10 passengers with a forward refreshment center and a belted aft lavatory; the listed seating capacity for the type is 11, with actual configurations varying by operator. Avionics are commonly fitted with Collins Pro Line 21 systems, usually incorporating dual FMS, TCAS II and optional weather radar — the CJ4’s typical panel package supports mixed corporate and charter operations. Missions for this specific airframe are consistent with the model’s role: short‑to‑medium range executive transport and on‑demand charter, operating from a variety of regional and international fields while benefiting from the CJ4’s higher cruise speed and range. Maintenance and inspection records are managed under corporate lessor oversight in Wichita, reflecting typical lease‑return and asset management practices.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) occupies the light business jet niche, offering longish range and high cruise speed relative to earlier CJ-series models. Competing types include light jets from Embraer and Bombardier in terms of mission and cabin flexibility. Demand among buyers and charter operators favors the CJ4 for efficient trans‑regional trips, and resale values—exemplified by the $6,700,000 estimate for this airframe—are influenced by avionics fit, engine hours on the Williams FJ44-4A units, and continuity of ownership or leasing arrangements. Maintenance and resale considerations are typical for finance‑held airframes, with lessor records and consistent avionics suites aiding marketability.
