RADAR ESTIMATE
What N204J is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation CJ1 on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N204J's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N204J
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This entry covers airframe N204J, a 1999-built Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 bearing serial number 525-0164 and registered in the United States. No alternate operators or home base details are published in the provided data.
Operations & Cabin
The airframe is outfitted in a typical executive five-six place layout with a forward galley and a belted lavatory aft, consistent with common CJ1 configurations; seating is listed as 6. Available data do not specify a bespoke avionics fit, so operational avionics and specific equipment lists are not published here. With a cruise speed of 381 kts and a range of 1,248 nm, the aircraft is optimally employed on short to mid-range point-to-point executive missions and owner/operator single-pilot or two-pilot operations; such missions typically originate from regional business airports and city pairs within the continental United States. Maintenance considerations are those typical of late-1990s light business jets, with age-related inspection regimes and component life-limited parts to be monitored by the owner-operator.
Model & Market Context
The Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 occupies the light business jet niche, offering economical operating costs and efficient short-field performance relative to larger corporate jets. With twin Williams FJ44-series engines producing 1,965 lbf each, the CJ1 provides competitive cruise performance for owner-operators and small charter operators seeking fast regional connectivity.
