N920DS

This airframe, tail number N920DS, is a 2023 production example of the Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 Gen2 built by Textron Aviation Inc with serial number 525C0427. It is owned by NUCO GEN2 LLC (an LLC) based in Bristol, VA, US, and carries United States registration. The airframe’s contemporary build year and factory-new configuration place it near the top of current Citation CJ4 Gen2 market listings, with an assessed value of $11,695,000 reflecting its recent manufacture, avionics fit, and executive cabin. Registered in the United States under US registration, the aircraft presents as a modern light business jet with a single documented ownership entity.

The cabin of this specific CJ4 Gen2 is outfitted as an executive nine-passenger layout featuring a forward two-place side-facing divan, a four-place club, two forward-facing seats, and an aft belted lavatory, supporting versatile private and charter missions. Avionics are equipped with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, providing integrated flight management, enhanced situational awareness, and standard business-jet navigation and communication capability for regional and transcontinental routings. Typical operations for this configuration would include point-to-point executive transport, short-notice charter work, and corporate shuttle missions from its owner’s base in Bristol, Virginia, with performance to sustain long regional sectors given the 2,165 nm range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the twin Williams FJ44-4A engines’ support ecosystem and factory-new airframe status resulting from the 2023 build year.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 Gen2 occupies the light-cabin, long-range segment of the market, offering higher cruise speeds and range than earlier CJ-series variants while retaining single-pilot capability in many configurations. It competes with clean-sheet and derivative light jets that prioritize low operating costs and airport flexibility; typical competitors include newer entries from other manufacturers in the light-business-jet class. Buyer and charter demand for a 2023 CJ4 Gen2 with modern avionics and an executive nine-seat cabin remains strong, and resale values are supported by recent build year and full OEM systems, with routine maintenance and engine shop visit cycles aligned with Williams engine support programs.
