N787EP

This entry covers airframe N787EP, a 2016-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 bearing manufacturer serial 525C-0239. The aircraft was manufactured by Textron Aviation (Cessna Aircraft Company) and is registered in the United States; it is owned by POET, LLC, a corporation based in Sioux Falls, SD, US. Entered private corporate registry under POET ownership and has been operated as a fixed-wing multi-engine executive transport; current valuation is listed at $7,750,000, reflecting a late-model CJ4 in typical corporate configuration. No additional notable registry actions beyond standard U.S. registration are published for this specific tail.

The cabin for N787EP is fitted in a typical 7–8 place executive layout with a forward refreshment/galley area and a belted lavatory, reflecting factory-configured corporate interiors common to the CJ4. Avionics are the typical factory fit Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting advanced navigation, flight management and situational awareness for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. With a cruise speed around 451 kts and a range of 2,165 nm, the airframe is suited to domestic and short transcontinental corporate missions from its Sioux Falls operator base. Maintenance considerations follow standard Textron/Cessna recommended programs for Williams FJ44-4A powered CJ4s, with component-level and calendar-based inspections appropriate to an aircraft of this model year and valuation.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light jet performance niche, offering a balance of speed, range and operating economics for corporate and charter buyers. Competing models include other light-to-midsize business jets that target 3–2.5 hour sectors; the CJ4’s cruise and ceiling performance make it attractive for point-to-point regional missions. Buyer demand for late-model CJ4s remains steady due to the combination of modern avionics (Collins Pro Line 21), efficient Williams FJ44 family engines and a compact eight-seat executive cabin; resale considerations center on engine cycles, avionics upgrades and completion condition, factors directly affecting the listed value of $7,750,000.
