N78RK

The airframe bearing registration N78RK is a 2013-built example of the Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2+, serial number 525A0507. It is registered to RKFL LLC (an LLC based in Boulder, CO, US), which appears as the current owner on public registry records; this ownership is noted here as the primary recorded ownership. Built in 2013, the airframe’s configuration and certification reflect the eight-place executive setup common to late-model CitationJet CJ2+ deliveries. No additional notable registry actions or public valuation events are recorded in the supplied data.

The cabin of this specific CJ2+ is the typical executive arrangement described as a 6–8 place layout and is certificated for 8 seats, suitable for small corporate groups or high-end charter missions. Based from Boulder, CO, US under ownership of RKFL LLC, typical mission profiles for the airframe would exploit the CJ2+’s transcontinental short-to-medium range capability, with cruise speeds near 402 knots and a maximum flight ceiling of 45,000 feet enabling efficient high-altitude routings. The twin Williams FJ44-3A-24 turbofan installation on this airframe drives operational characteristics and maintenance planning; operator-specific maintenance records are not provided, but the engine type is a key factor in scheduled shop visits and hot-section inspections for this airframe. Cabin appointments, avionics suite specifics and in-service modifications for this tail number are not listed in the supplied data.

As a member of the CitationJet family, the Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2+ occupies the light jet niche focused on owner-operators and charter operators seeking eight-seat executive capability, relatively low operating costs and access to short runways. The CJ2+ competes with light jets offering similar range and speed figures and is often compared with contemporaries when buyers assess cabin size, performance (here: 1,781 nm range, 402 kt cruise, 45,000 ft ceiling) and overall lifecycle maintenance. For a 2013 airframe such as N78RK, age-related maintenance, avionics updates, and engine shop visit scheduling tied to its Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines are typical considerations influencing resale value and charter dispatch reliability.
