Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N87FL, a 2011-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with serial number 525C0024. The airframe is owned by LILL AIR LLC, a corporation based in Victor, NY, US, and is registered in the United States. The aircraft's build year, manufacturer lineage to Cessna (Textron Aviation), and corporate ownership identify it as a late-production CJ4 used in executive transport roles; no public record of prior owners or registry changes beyond the current corporate registration is presented here. Condition highlights and valuation specifics are not published in the supplied data.
The cabin configuration for this airframe follows the typical CJ4 executive arrangement, described as a Typical 8–10 place executive layout (9–10 passenger standard) that accommodates up to ten seats in its certification. The avionics complement for CJ4 production and commonly upgraded examples is the Collins Pro Line 21, which equips this class with integrated flight management, multi-function displays, and advanced communications suitable for operator mission profiles. Typical operations for N87FL would include short to mid-range business flights within the continental United States given its 2,165 nm range and high cruise speed of 451 kts, operating from the owner/operator base in Victor, NY, US. Maintenance considerations center on twin Williams FJ44-series engine support and CJ4-specific system inspections consistent with Textron Aviation guidance.
The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light-cabin, long-range end of the Citation family, offering transcontinental capability for corporate users while retaining single-pilot certification possibilities in some configurations. With twin Williams FJ44-4A engines producing 3,621 lbf each and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the model competes with other light-cabin business jets for buyers seeking high cruise speeds and efficient regional connectivity. Market and maintenance considerations for this serial ( 525C0024 ) align with typical CJ4 lifecycle factors: avionics upgrade paths such as Pro Line 21, engine shop visit scheduling for FJ44 series units, and demand driven by charter and corporate operators valuing speed, range, and low-per-seat operating costs.
