N926JJ

The airframe bearing tail number N926JJ is a 2018-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4, serial number 525C0272, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The aircraft is registered on the US registry and is owned and operated by RUAN INC, a corporation based in Des Moines, IA, US. The airframe’s documentation reflects corporate operation from Des Moines with routine registry maintenance consistent with US civil operator requirements. Valued at approximately $8,000,000, this specific CJ4 example presents as a late-model executive jet with a corporate operator profile.

The aircraft is fitted in a typical executive cabin layout accommodating 8–11 passenger club seating, supported by a forward galley and a belted lavatory; cabin dimensions provide approximately 17 ft 4 in of length and a 58 in width. Avionics are the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting advanced flight management and integrated avionics workflows common to corporate operations. Operated from Des Moines by RUAN INC, mission profiles for this airframe are consistent with regional and transcontinental corporate transport within its 2,165 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 451 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with Williams FJ44-4A engine support and Pro Line 21 avionics commonality, facilitating operator logistics and parts availability.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 family occupies the light to mid-size business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models typically include other light jets with similar range and cabin flexibility; buyer and charter demand for this platform is driven by its combination of cabin ergonomics and efficient Williams FJ44 propulsion. For corporate owners such as RUAN INC, resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine time, avionics updates to Pro Line 21 standards, and overall completion condition, factors that influence valuations in the vicinity of the stated $8,000,000.
