Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N81QC is a 2016 Cessna 525C CitationJet 4 (Citation CJ4), constructor serial 525C0217, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). It is registered in the United States and is owned by PNFP AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Nashville, TN, US; this ownership is the primary recorded operator/home-base association for the airframe. The airframe’s equipment standard and good-condition valuation are reflected in an estimated market value of $7,885,747, and it is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft with a U.S. registration.
This individual Citation CJ4 is fitted with a typical eight-passenger executive cabin arrangement comprising a forward galley, a four-place club, two forward-facing seats, and an aft lavatory, while remaining owner-configurable up to certification limits; the completed configuration supports up to 11 seats including crew. Avionics are provided by a four-screen Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting advanced flight management and situational awareness for short- to mid-range business missions. With a cruise speed of 430 kts and a range of 2,165 nm, the airframe is well suited to point-to-point corporate travel, regional charter, and owner-operator missions radiating from its Nashville, Tennessee base. Maintenance considerations follow standard CJ4 schedules for Williams FJ44-4A engines and Pro Line 21 avionics support.
The Cessna 525C CitationJet 4 (Citation CJ4) occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental short-range capability versus earlier Citation models. Competing types in its class include other light-to-medium business jets that balance speed, range, and operating economics. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor CJ4s with modern avionics packages and well-maintained Williams engines; resale value and maintenance outlook for this airframe are supported by its relatively recent 2016 build year and the documented equipment fit.
