N804RC

This entry covers airframe N804RC, a 2020-built example of the Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) with factory serial 525C-0323. The airframe was manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna) and is recorded with US registration and corporate ownership by CG LEASING LLC, a corporation based in Mobile, AL, US; ownership is logged to that lessee entity. The twinjet retains a contemporary avionics fit and nine-passenger executive interior as reported, and its market valuation at the time of record is $9,700,000, reflecting a late-model airframe in serviceable condition. Registry entries indicate the aircraft operates under US civil registration for fixed-wing multi-engine operations.

The cabin of N804RC is reported in a nine-passenger executive layout with a forward two-place divan, a mid four-place club arrangement with two executive writing tables, and an aft area with two forward-facing chairs plus a belted lavatory. Avionics are installed as the Collins Pro Line 21 suite incorporating dual primary flight displays, IFIS-5000, FGC-3000 flight guidance computer, and dual FMS, supporting typical business-jet navigation and operational profiles. With a 2,165 nm range and a cruise of 392 kts, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range corporate missions and charter sectors operating from its US base; maintenance considerations follow the CJ4 family schedule driven by Williams FJ44-4A engine support and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle management. Operator activity and mission planning are consistent with fixed-wing multi-engine corporate transport under corporate leasing arrangements.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance turbofan niche within Textron’s Citation family, offering transcontinental regional capability for small corporate groups. Competing models in its segment typically include other light-cabin jets with similar cruise and range performance; buyer and charter demand often favor late-model airframes with modern avionics and nine-passenger executive interiors like 525C-0323. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe emphasize engine support for the Williams FJ44-4A pair and avionics upgrades or STC compatibility for the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, factors that influence marketability and retained value.
