N86VP

The airframe bearing tail number N86VP is a 2023 build of the Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 (525C) produced by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna), constructor serial 525C0416. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by KYAN AVIATION LLC, an entity based in Spring Lake, MI, US; this ownership represents the primary and current operator/registrant for the airframe. As a recent-production example of the CJ4 Gen2 line, the airframe carries a contemporary avionics and cabin fit typical of the sub-mid size business jet segment and is valued at $11,600,000, reflecting its 2023 manufacture and factory-standard equipment condition. There are no other published registry actions beyond the recorded 2023 build and current ownership.

The airframe is outfitted in a typical executive eight-to-eleven place cabin configuration with a forward galley and aft lavatory; the layout is listed as configurable with options for a belted lavatory or a side-facing divan, allowing the interior to be tailored to operator mission needs. Avionics equipment for this CJ4 Gen2 example is consistent with the family’s typical fit of the Collins Pro Line 21, supporting integrated flight, navigation and communications capabilities for business and charter operations. Operated from the owner’s base in Spring Lake, Michigan, the aircraft’s range and cruise speed make it suitable for regional to transcontinental business missions, high-utilization shuttle flights, and on-demand charter where speed and cabin flexibility are priorities. Maintenance considerations follow standard CJ4 Gen2 schedules and engine-specific practices for the Williams FJ44-4A powerplants.

The Cessna Citation CJ4 Gen2 (525C) occupies a performance niche as a light-to-mid-size business jet offering transcontinental capability with efficient turbofan engines and a modern avionics suite, appealing to owner-operators and charter operators seeking single-pilot optionality and low operating costs relative to larger jets. Competing models in the segment include other light-cabin jets that trade cabin volume for similar speed and range; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific 2023 airframe reflect current demand for modern, well-equipped CJ4 Gen2 examples and the established support network from Textron/Cessna and Williams engine service providers.
