N8GQ

This article covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N8GQ, a 2011-built Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4 with manufacturer serial 525C0045. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by ABOUT TIME LLC, a corporate owner based in Parker, CO, US. The airframe's documented market valuation stands at $6,000,000, reflecting its configuration and age within the early CJ4 production run. No public record of additional registry changes or notable incidents is included in the supplied data.

The airframe is typically fitted in an executive cabin layout accommodating 7–9 place executive seating with a forward galley/refreshment area and commonly a belted lavatory consistent with CJ4 executive fits; for this specific airframe the published seat count is 8, indicating a common seven- or eight-passenger executive arrangement. Avionics for this early CJ4 fit are listed as the Collins Pro Line 21, though later retrofit or Gen2 options are noted as available and relevant to maintenance and upgrade planning. Based out of Parker, CO, US under corporate operation by ABOUT TIME LLC, the aircraft’s mission profile aligns with short- to medium-range executive transport and business travel, leveraging its 2,165 nm range and 451 kt cruise speed for regional and transcontinental hops. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include typical CJ4 engine and avionics lifecycle items and potential investment in avionics retrofits to modernize the cockpit.

The airframe represents the Cessna 525C CitationJet CJ4 family niche defined by transcontinental-capable light business jets with relatively high cruise speeds and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. With twin Williams FJ44-4A engines producing 3,621 lbf each, this configuration supports operator demand for efficient, high-performance light jets in corporate fleets. The documented market value of $6,000,000 for this 2011 serial places it within typical pre-owned pricing bands for early CJ4s, where factors such as avionics retrofits (Collins Pro Line 21 upgrades to Gen2), interior configuration, and maintenance history drive resale considerations. Maintenance and resale planning for this specific airframe should account for potential avionics modernization and standard engine/airframe service items expected for its production vintage.
