N744CB

The airframe bearing tail number N744CB is a 2004-built Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 (serial 525A-0223) manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The registered owner is the organization UNIVERSITY OF UTAH HEATH, based in Ogden, UT, US, and the aircraft carries a United States registration. This airframe has been retained in the university’s corporate/operational inventory, reflecting an institutional operator profile rather than a private individual or commercial charter operator. Current valuation for the airframe is listed at $3,450,000, a figure that reflects its 2004 build year, equipment baseline, and market positioning.

The aircraft is typically outfitted in an executive six–eight place CJ2 configuration with club seating common; the specific interior of N744CB is not publicly detailed beyond this standard layout. Avionics and any mission-specific modifications for the university are not published, so operational capability is represented by the factory performance numbers. With a cruise of 413 kts and a range of 1,530 nm, the airframe is well suited to short- to mid-range institutional missions such as regional executive transport, medical liaison, or multi-site university travel originating from its base in Ogden, UT. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on its twin Williams FJ44-2C turbofans and typical calendar- and cycle-based inspections consistent with its 2004 manufacture date.

As a Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2, serial 525A-0223 sits within a light-citation family characterized by relatively high cruise speeds and modest transcontinental range, exemplified here by a 413 kt cruise and 1,530 nm range to a 45,000 ft ceiling. The twin Williams FJ44-2C engines provide the performance baseline and factor into operating and maintenance economics that influence resale value; the listed $3,450,000 valuation reflects age, configuration, and continued institutional use. For buyers or fleet operators evaluating this specific airframe, considerations include engine TBO and overhaul status, interior refurbishment needs relative to the standard CJ2 executive layout, and continued suitability for regional missions from the Ogden, UT operating base.
