Cessna CJ4 For Sale

The Cessna Citation CJ4 (Model 525C) is a light to midsize business jet manufactured by Cessna in Wichita, Kansas. Announced in 2006 and first delivered in 2010, it is the largest and most capable member of the Citation CJ family. The CJ4 was designed to bridge the gap between light jets and midsize aircraft, offering greater range and cabin space while retaining single pilot certification.

Powered by two Williams FJ44-4A engines, each producing 3,621 pounds of thrust, the CJ4 has a range of approximately 2,165 nautical miles with four passengers. The cabin measures 17 feet 4 inches long, 4 feet 10 inches wide, and 4 feet 9 inches tall, seating up to ten passengers. Maximum cruise speed is 451 knots, making it the fastest CJ variant.

Cockpit and Systems

The CJ4 features the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced integrated avionics suite with four 10 inch LCD displays, dual flight management systems, and TCAS II. Unlike earlier CJ models, it includes a fully enclosed lavatory as standard. The aircraft has a maximum operating altitude of 45,000 feet and a maximum takeoff weight of 17,110 pounds. Its balanced field takeoff distance of approximately 3,410 feet gives it access to a wide range of airports across Europe, North America, and beyond.

Buying a Pre Owned Cessna CJ4

The CJ4 offers the best performance in the CJ family and competes favourably with midsize jets on range and speed while operating at light jet costs. Key evaluation points include Williams FJ44-4A engine condition and programme enrolment, avionics software currency, and interior configuration. The CJ4 Gen2 variant, introduced in 2021, features updated avionics and cabin improvements, though standard CJ4s remain popular on the used market for their proven reliability.
