N109AP

The airframe bearing tail number N109AP is a 2002-built Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2, serial 525A0131, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The jet is owned by the corporate entity DIRECT AVIATION LLC, based in Sioux Falls, SD, US, and is registered in the US. The aircraft’s documented market value is $2,000,000, reflecting an airframe in the mid-life service period for its model and typical of privately operated light business jets. Registration and ownership records indicate corporate operation from Sioux Falls, SD, and no other ownership history is published in the supplied data.

This specific CJ2 airframe is configured with six seats, aligning with the typical light bizjet executive cabin that emphasizes short to mid-range point-to-point missions. Typical operations for the type and this operator profile include corporate charters, owner-flown business travel, and regional hops within the continental United States up to the aircraft’s 1,680 nm range and 45,000 ft ceiling. Given the twin Williams FJ44-2C turbofan installations producing 2,400 lbf each, the aircraft supports relatively efficient cruise speeds around 384 kts for its class. The supplied data does not include a detailed avionics fit or bespoke interior amenities for this specific airframe; maintenance considerations would focus on mid-life engine and avionics cycles consistent with a 2002 serial 525A0131.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies the light business jet niche, offering combination of single-pilot capability (in many configurations), efficient Williams FJ44 series engines, and access to short runways. Competing models in the segment include other light jets from manufacturers such as Embraer and Bombardier’s smaller offerings. With a listed value of $2,000,000 for this 2002 airframe, resale considerations hinge on maintenance status, engine cycles, and avionics modernization; buyer demand in the used market typically favors well-documented, corporately operated examples like this one.
