Airworthiness directives
3 FAA ADs name the Citation CJ4
- AD 2017-22-14 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.
- AD 2011-21-51 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.
- AD 99-07-04 To prevent high pressure turbine (HPT) disk rim failure, which could result in an uncontained engine failure and damage to the aircraft.
FAQ
Citation CJ4 questions
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.
