AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

3 FAA ADs in effect name the Citation CJ4

ADs published since 1995 whose applicability names the type. Whether one applies to a given aircraft depends on its serial number and equipment.

  1. AD 2017-22-14 One-time Appliance

    Rockwell Collins, Inc. Traffic Surveillance System Processing Unit

    This AD was prompted by five instances of air traffic control observing coasting (extrapolated stale data) automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast data (ADS-B position/velocity data) on a related Rockwell Collins, Inc. platform that shares a common architecture with the TSS-4100 Traffic Surveillance System Processing Units.

    Effective Dec 20, 2017 · Amendment 39-19094

    Applicability, as the AD words it

(1) The FLS RCPNs 810-0052-002, -003, -010, -011, -012, -100, or -101 found on TSS-4100 Traffic Surveillance System Processing Units are known to be installed on but not limited to the airplanes listed in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (14) of this AD and are certificated in any category. (i) Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) (ii) Bombardier Challenger 350 (BD-100-1A10) (iii) Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) (iv) Bombardier CRJ-700 (CL-600-2C10) (v) Bombardier CRJ-900 (CL-600-2D24) (vi) Bombardier CRJ-1000 (CL-600-2E25) (vii) Bombardier CS100 (BD-500-1A10) (viii) Bombardier CS300 (BD-500-1A11) (ix) Bombardier Global 5000 equipped with Global Vision Flight Deck (BD-700-1A11) (x) Bombardier Global 6000 (BD-700-1A10) (xi) Cessna Citation CJ4 (525C) (xii) Embraer Legacy (EMB-550) (xiii) Embraer Legacy 450 (EMB-545) (xiv) Gulfstream G280 (2) Earlier revision levels of the Rockwell Collins, Inc. service information and service information issued by airplane manufacturers before the effective date of this AD may have specified the installation of FLS with different FAA-approved part numbers than the part numbers listed in paragraph (c) of this AD. If, before December 20, 2017 (the effective date of this AD), a part number that is different than the TSSA-4100 RCPNs listed in paragraph (c) of this AD is installed on the airplane, this AD does not apply to that airplane.

  2. AD 2011-21-51 One-time

    Cessna Aircraft Company Airplanes

    This AD was prompted by a report of a battery fire that resulted after an energized ground power unit was connected to one of the affected airplanes equipped with a lithium-ion battery as the main aircraft battery.

    Effective Nov 1, 2011 · Amendment 39-16850

    Applicability, as the AD words it

QUESTIONS

Citation CJ4 questions, answered from the data

How much does a Citation CJ4 cost?

Listing-based estimates for the 15 Citation CJ4s on Radar run from about $5.8M to $11.9M, with a middle estimate of $7.5M. They are rough estimates from public listings and market reports, not appraisals.

What affects the price of a Citation CJ4?

What moves the price of any one Citation CJ4: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline; a Citation CJ4 with high hours, an engine near overhaul or gaps in its records sells below it, and one with low time, recent inspections and full records above it.

Where can I find a Citation CJ4 for sale?

Radar does not list aircraft for sale. It tracks all 415 US-registered Citation CJ4s by tail number, each with its registration record and a value estimate, so you can check a listing against the value of its build year and look up the aircraft's own history before you call.

How many Citation CJ4s are there?

415 Citation CJ4s are on the US civil aircraft register (FAA file of October 2026), built 2010 to 2026. Aircraft registered in other countries are not counted. Radar has a page for each US registration.

What are the Citation CJ4's specs?

As published for the Citation CJ4 Gen2: up to 9 passengers, a range of 2,165 nm (2,491 statute miles), a high-speed cruise of 451 ktas (519 mph), a ceiling of 45,000 ft, a cabin 4 ft 9 in high, 4 ft 10 in wide and 2 × Williams International FJ44-4A engines. A given aircraft varies with its completion, weight and modifications.

How far can a Citation CJ4 fly?

The Citation CJ4's published range is 2,165 nautical miles (2,491 statute miles), with maximum range as Textron publishes it for the CJ4 Gen2 (condition not stated). Winds, payload, cruise speed and the reserves a flight carries change what a given trip can do.

Can a Citation CJ4 cross the Atlantic?

Not nonstop between New York and London: that is about 2,986 nm, against a published range of 2,165 nm. Aircraft with less range than the crossing make it in legs, with fuel stops in Canada, Greenland and Iceland.

Can a Citation CJ4 fly to Hawaii?

Not nonstop. Los Angeles to Honolulu is about 2,217 nm over open water, more than the Citation CJ4's published range of 2,165 nm.

How fast is the Citation CJ4?

The Citation CJ4 cruises at up to 451 knots true airspeed (about 519 mph), and its maximum operating Mach number is 0.77, as published for the Citation CJ4 Gen2.

How high can a Citation CJ4 fly?

The Citation CJ4 is certified to 45,000 feet for the Citation CJ4 Gen2. Heavy aircraft climb there in steps as they burn fuel.

How many passengers does a Citation CJ4 seat?

Up to 9 passengers, the most the type is published for (Citation CJ4 Gen2). Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats, so a given Citation CJ4 may seat fewer.

How big is the Citation CJ4 cabin?

4 ft 9 in high and 4 ft 10 in wide, 17 ft 4 in long, as published for the Citation CJ4 Gen2.

Who owns Citation CJ4s?

Of the 415 US-registered Citation CJ4s, 397 (96%) are registered to companies, trusts and other entities and 18 to individuals. Radar names entity owners only; individuals are shown as privately registered. The most common states of registration are TX (64), UT (35), DE (32).
