Model & Market Context
The airframe registered as N74AD is a 2020 production Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with serial number 525C0321, built by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna Aircraft Company). The jet is owned by Altair Advanced Industries Inc, a corporation based in Bellingham, WA, US, and is registered in the US. Condition and valuation highlights list the airframe at an estimated market $11,000,000, reflecting a late-model CJ4 equipped for executive operations. Delivery and registry histories beyond current ownership are not published in the supplied dataset.
This airframe is outfitted in an executive cabin layout with the typical flexible seating of 7–9 pax but a certified capacity of 10, featuring a cabin measured at 17 ft 4 in L × 58 in W × 57 in H and options for a forward galley and a belted lavatory. Avionics are listed as the typical Collins Pro Line 21, supporting business-aviation navigation, communications and flight management suites commonly used on CJ4s. Operationally the aircraft’s 2,165 nm range and 451 kts cruise speed make it well suited for medium-haul corporate missions and regional charter work originating from its operator base in Bellingham, WA. Maintenance considerations align with the CJ4 fleet standard—twin Williams FJ44 engines and modern avionics—requiring OEM-supported inspections and parts channels.
The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment within Textron’s Citation family, offering transcontinental short-range capability with a high cruise speed and 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models in the class target buyers seeking a balance of operating economics and cabin comfort; typical competitors include other light jets with similar ranges and cabin volumes. Market demand for late-model CJ4s remains focused on corporate buyers and charter operators; resale and maintenance considerations reflect engine support for the Williams FJ44-4A and avionics service for Collins Pro Line 21, both influential in lifecycle cost and remarketing.
