N79JS

This entry covers airframe N79JS, a 2013-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with serial number 525C0138. The aircraft is owned by Jds Aviation Inc (a corporation) based in Jenkintown, PA, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe carries an estimated market value of $7,000,000 and is presented in typical executive condition for its type; registry records list seating for 11, while the cabin is configured in an executive layout for approximately 8–10 passengers. No additional notable registry actions are published beyond standard ownership registration.

The airframe operates in the fixed-wing multi-engine category and is typically used in executive transport roles from its operator base in Jenkintown, PA, US. The cabin is finished in an executive layout intended for roughly 8–10 passengers while the registry records 11 seats, reflecting the factory or supplemental seating provision. Avionics on this production CJ4 follow the typical fit of the model with Collins Pro Line 21 systems, supporting advanced navigation, communication and flight management for business missions. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include short- to mid-range point-to-point business travel within the aircraft’s 2,165 nm range and cruise at 451 kts, with operations up to the service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine Williams FJ44-series support and CJ4-specific airframe checks.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, long-range end of the light jet market, offering higher speed and range than earlier CJ-series variants. Its competitors include other light-to-super-light jets that target corporate and charter buyers seeking transcontinental capability without moving into mid-size categories. Demand for CJ4s is driven by owner-operators and charter operators prioritizing speed, modern avionics such as Collins Pro Line 21, and efficient Williams FJ44 powerplants. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect typical lifecycle costs for a 2013 airframe with factory avionics and Williams engines, with market value around $7,000,000 for an aircraft in standard executive configuration.
