Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered N11WB, is a 2006-built Cessna 525 (Citation CJ1) with manufacturer serial 525-0616, and is listed in civil registry as owned by MERCIER DAVID of Whitefish, Montana, US. The aircraft is a factory-built Cessna (Textron Aviation) Citation CJ1-family business jet delivered with twin Williams engines and an executive interior. The registry records show the airframe as operated from a US home base in Montana; no other operator transfers or liens are published in the supplied data. Current market valuation for this specific ship is listed at $2,495,000, reflecting its build year, equipment baseline and typical CJ1 market position.
The cabin of this CJ1 is described in registry notes as an executive 6–8 passenger club layout and the registry explicitly lists 8 seats for this serial, consistent with typical CJ1 configurations used for owner-operator and small charter missions. Avionics are recorded as a Collins ProLine-style fitment in the family common-fit category; the registry does not list serial-specific avionics options beyond this common-fit description. Operational use for this airframe would typically include short to mid-range owner flights and on-demand charter legs within a roughly 1,300 nm mission profile, operating out of its Montana home base to regional business centers; maintenance considerations are standard for CJ1-series airframes with Williams FJ44 engines and executive interiors.
The Cessna 525 (Citation CJ1) occupies the light-cabin, light-jet niche with efficient short-field performance, modest operating costs and a high-cruise capability of around 389 kts to FL410. Competing models in its era include early Phenom 100s and Hawker 400/Beechjet family aircraft; buyer demand historically favors owner-operators and smaller charter operators seeking economical transcontinental capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2006 serial hinge on engine time on the Williams FJ44-1AP modules, avionics upgrade status from the common Collins ProLine baseline, and interior condition consistent with the listed 8-seat executive layout.
