N824NE

This entry documents airframe N824NE, a 2024-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with serial number 525C0447 manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is registered in the United States (US) and the current recorded owner is the corporation FW EQUIPMENT LEASING LLC; the registry shows the airframe in corporate ownership without a listed operator/home base. The registration and serial linkage identify routine new-aircraft registry actions associated with recent delivery year status, and the airframe represents a current-production CJ4 example with factory specification continuity.

The registry lists 11 seats for this airframe; typical executive CJ4 configurations seat eight to ten passengers in club seating with a refreshment area, so this example likely reflects a high-density or flexible interior arrangement within that envelope. Avionics are fitted in the typical CJ4 manner with Collins Pro Line 21, supporting modern glass flightdeck capabilities, FMS navigation, and integrated systems monitoring suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Mission profiles for this airframe align with light-cabin business transport and short-to-medium international hops within the 2,165 nm range and high-speed cruise of 451 kts, frequently used for charter, corporate point-to-point work, and owner/operators leasing arrangements. Maintenance considerations follow the CJ4 fleet norms, with emphasis on Williams FJ44-4A engine support and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle management.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance niche among small business jets, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental short-range capability to FL450. Competing models in the segment include other light jets that balance speed, range, and operating economics; demand for late-model 2024 examples typically centers on corporate charter fleets and fractional or leasing companies such as FW EQUIPMENT LEASING LLC. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial ( 525C0447 ) follow family-wide patterns: emphasis on engine program enrollment, avionics updates for Pro Line 21, and the interior configuration’s impact on charter suitability and residual value.
