N8707

The airframe bearing registration N8707 is a Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 built by Textron Aviation Inc. in 2017, serial number 525C0250. Ownership is recorded to CITATION 2017 LLC (an LLC based in Chesterfield, MO, US), and the aircraft is registered in the US. The airframe’s documented market valuation is $8,000,000, reflecting a late-model light-corporate jet in established service. The aircraft was entered on the U.S. registry under the owning LLC and has been operated from the owner’s Chesterfield, Missouri base since acquisition.

This specific CJ4 is outfitted in a typical executive cabin described as an 8–10 passenger executive layout with 11 certified seats and configured for corporate transport, short-duration business trips and regional charter missions. The avionics suite installed on this airframe is Collins Pro Line 21, supporting modern flight management, navigation and situational awareness typical of the type. Based on the owner’s location in Chesterfield, MO, US, typical operations would include mid-continent point-to-point flights within the CJ4’s 2,165 nm range and up to high-altitude cruise profiles at its service ceiling. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow CJ4 norms: twin Williams FJ44-4A engine support programs, avionics upgrades within the Pro Line 21 ecosystem, and periodic inspections consistent with light-corporate fixed-wing multi-engine operations.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light jet niche, offering a combination of transcontinental short-range capability, elevated cruise speed near 430 kts, and a 45,000 ft ceiling for favorable fuel burns and weather clearance. Competing models include light-cabin entrants from Embraer and Honda/others in similar mission roles; demand centers on owner-operators and charter companies seeking eight to ten passenger executive capability with the flexibility of 11 certified seats. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine program enrollment for the Williams FJ44-4A engines, avionics modernization paths for Collins Pro Line 21, and the airframe’s late-model 2017 build status.
