About the Cessna Citation CJ4
The Cessna Citation CJ4 is a light-to-midsize business jet produced since 2010, the flagship of the CJ family. Seating up to 10, it cruises at 451 knots with a range of 2,165 nautical miles, powered by twin Williams FJ44-4A engines.
With fuel burn of approximately 160 gallons per hour, variable hourly costs around $2,100, and annual fixed costs near $350,000, the CJ4 bridges the gap between light and midsize jets. Single-pilot certified with Garmin Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, it appeals to owner-operators wanting Citation performance with true coast-to-coast range.

Buying a Used Cessna Citation CJ4
Buying a Cessna Citation CJ4 is about the engines, maintenance programs and avionics as much as the airframe. Engine and airframe hourly-maintenance programs transfer with the aircraft and materially change both price and risk.
What to check before buying
- Engine status & program — time to overhaul/MPI and whether the engines are enrolled on an hourly maintenance program (the biggest value driver on any jet).
- Airframe program & inspections — scheduled (Doc) inspections, airframe/parts programs and total cycles.
- Avionics & mandates — a modern glass flight deck plus required mandates (ADS-B, FANS) raise value and capability.
- Damage history & logbooks — complete, gap-free records and a clean accident history protect resale.
- Pre-buy inspection — a full pre-buy at a type-authorised service centre before money changes hands.
