Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing registration N785DF is a 2012-built Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4 (serial 525C0075) manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). This specific airframe is owned by Airjay LLC, a corporate owner based in Wayne, PA, US, and is registered in the United States. Notable registry activity includes its listing on the US civil register under the stated registration; ownership is recorded to a corporate entity in Pennsylvania, reflecting common US fractional and corporate operation patterns. The airframe's market valuation is estimated at $8,000,000, indicating a mid-life light-cabin jet in maintained condition consistent with its age and configuration.

This airframe, configured as a Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4, is operated from its owner’s base in Wayne, PA, US, and is typically employed on short to mid-range corporate transport and on-demand charter missions given its range and cruise performance. The CJ4 family is commonly outfitted with a light-cabin executive interior and modern avionics suites; for this specific aircraft those features support efficient regional routing and point-to-point business trips. Maintenance considerations for the airframe include Williams FJ44-4A engine support and the manufacturer’s scheduled airworthiness directives, with corporate ownership suggesting an organized maintenance program and recordkeeping. Unique amenities and exact cabin layout for this registration are not published in the supplied data.

The Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance niche among civil light jets, offering transregional range and high single-pilot capability at a relatively low operating footprint. Typical competitors include other light-cabin jets that balance range near 2,165 nm and cruise speeds near 377 kts; buyer and charter demand for this class remains robust for corporate and charter operators seeking efficiency on short-to-medium sectors. Resale considerations for a 2012-built airframe with serial 525C0075 include remaining engine life, avionics state, and overall logbook continuity, factors that underpin the stated market value.
