N113BG

This entry documents the airframe bearing tail number N113BG, a 2002-built light business jet with manufacturer serial 525A0078. The airframe is a Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the US. The jet is listed as owned and operated by KERN PACIFIC AVIATION LLC, based in Wasco, CA, US, a registration/ownership status that defines the aircraft's civil operator and home base. Its reported market valuation is $2,500,000, reflecting condition and equipment for a 2002-model Citation CJ2.

The cabin of N113BG is configured for two crew and eight occupants with a four-place club seating module, two forward-facing single seats, and a belted lavatory, reflecting a layout optimized for short- to medium-range business missions. Avionics fit includes a Collins Pro Line 21 suite with dual EFIS and dual FMS, supplemented by Garmin GPS units and ADS-B transponders, supporting modern navigation, situational awareness and airspace compliance. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 1,550 nm range and 410 kt cruise, include domestic U.S. point-to-point charter, corporate repositioning, and regional executive transport from its base in Wasco, CA, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the Williams FJ44-2C powerplants and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle management, which influence operational availability and ongoing value.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 occupies the light business jet niche, offering turbofan efficiency and high-altitude capability to 45,000 ft combined with single-pilot or two-crew operation depending on outfitting. Competitors in its market segment include other light-cabin jets delivering similar cruise speeds and ranges; resale and buyer demand are driven by equipment standards such as Pro Line 21 avionics and engine time on wing. For a 2002 airframe like N113BG, key resale and maintenance considerations are engine shop visits, avionics currency and ADS-B compliance, all factors that bear on the reported $2,500,000 valuation.
