N783DC

The airframe bearing tail number N783DC is a 2003-build Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 with serial number 525A0139. Manufactured by Cessna, this fixed-wing multi-engine business jet is registered in the US and is currently owned by 812CD LLC, an Indianapolis, IN–based limited liability company; registry records reflect ownership under 812CD LLC. The aircraft is equipped and maintained as a typical light-cabin Citation CJ2 airframe of its vintage and carries an estimated market value of $3,500,000, reflecting its age and configuration. Operator and home base activities are associated with the owner’s location in Indianapolis, Indiana.

The aircraft’s eight-seat configuration positions it for light corporate transport, short-haul executive missions and on-demand charter operations consistent with its range of 1,613 nm and cruise speed of 410 kts. Power is provided by two Williams FJ44-2C turbofan engines rated at 2,400 lbf each, supporting a maximum certified ceiling of 45,000 ft suitable for high-altitude cruise and favorable block times on typical point-to-point sectors. Ownership and operational oversight are conducted from Indianapolis, IN, where the owner organization manages basing and maintenance planning for this US-registered airframe. Estimated market valuation of $3,500,000 informs decisions on maintenance investment, parts provisioning and potential resale timing.

As a Cessna 525A Citation CJ2, serial 525A0139 sits within the light-cabin Citation family, offering a balance of transcontinental-ish range and high single-leg cruise speed for its class. The performance profile—410 kts cruise and 1,613 nm range—defines its niche for business travelers seeking efficient point-to-point service without the operating costs of larger midsize jets. The twin Williams FJ44-2C engines are a common powerplant for the type, and the airframe’s model-year 2003 vintage and $3,500,000 estimated value are key factors in maintenance planning and resale considerations for owners and operators.
