N106CJ

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N106CJ, a 1993-built Cessna light business jet with serial number 525-0006. The airframe is a Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) completed in 1993 and at the time of record is owned by CITATION 525 INC, a corporation based in Eugene, OR, US. The aircraft is registered in the US civil registry and is categorized as a fixed-wing multi engine airplane. Valuation records list the airframe at $1,900,000, and its documented configuration and ownership suggest active private or corporate utility rather than military or commercial airline service.

The subject airframe, as a CitationJet 1 configured with 8 passenger seats, typically supports short- to mid-range corporate missions within its 1,250 nm ferry radius and cruise capability of 385 kts. Based from Eugene, Oregon under corporate ownership, its operational profile is consistent with executive transport, owner-flown travel, or ad hoc charter where permitted by the operator’s certificate. Cabin layout for the CJ1 series is commonly a single-class executive arrangement accommodating up to eight occupants; avionics fits can vary by retrofit, and no specific aftermarket interiors or avionics upgrades are published for this serial. Maintenance considerations for this particular airframe reflect the Williams FJ44-1A turbofan engine type and the Citation series support network.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) occupies the entry-level light jet segment, offering efficient short-haul speed and access to smaller airports with a 41,000 ft ceiling and favorable climb performance. Competing models in its era include early Embraer Phenom and older Learjet light jets; demand in the owner-operator and fractional/charter markets has historically been steady for well-maintained CJ1 airframes. Resale and maintenance economics for this serial-numbered airframe are influenced by engine time on the Williams FJ44-1A, avionics modernization status, and the documented valuation of $1,900,000.
