N98CH

This airframe, registered as N98CH, is a 2012-built Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 with serial number 525C0097. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by Harrell Ventures LLC of Houston, TX, US, which serves as its primary operator/home base. The airframe’s basic registry facts show an on‑type configuration consistent with original 525C production standards. Valuation and condition reports are not published for this specific airframe in the supplied data.

The cabin of N98CH is outfitted in the typical CJ4 eight‑passenger executive layout, featuring a forward two‑place divan, four‑place club seating mid‑cabin and an aft belted lav, reflecting the common factory or completion configuration for the model. Avionics are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting advanced flight management, navigation and situational awareness for regional and transcontinental business missions. Operated from Houston, TX, US by its owner, the aircraft’s performance—particularly its cruise speed of 451 kts and range of 2,165 nm—suits point‑to‑point business travel, light charter work and ferry flights between major business centers. The twin Williams FJ44‑4A engines emphasize efficiency and lower maintenance cycles relative to older generation small jets, though specific maintenance history for this airframe is not provided.

The Cessna 525C Citation CJ4 occupies the light jet niche with improved payload‑range and cabin volume over earlier CitationJet variants, combining a 45,000 ft ceiling and high cruise speed to bridge short and medium‑haul missions. Competing types in its market segment include other light/entry midsize jets offering similar eight‑passenger layouts and 2,000+ nm ranges; demand is typically strong among owner‑operators and charter fleets seeking lower operating costs with modern avionics like the Collins Pro Line 21. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the FJ44 series engine upkeep, avionics support lifecycle and completed configuration, all factors that influence marketability for a 2012‑built CJ4.
