Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N121VM is a 1999-built Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1, serial 525-0314, registered in the United States. Since manufacture it is recorded as owned by ALAN AVIATION LLC, a corporate owner based in Altadena, CA, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this specific airframe. Registry information and valuation place the jet at an estimated $1,700,000, reflecting its age, configuration and continued operation within the light business jet category. Notable registry actions include its sustained US registration and corporate ownership status; no additional ownership transfers or refurbishments are published in the provided data.

This specific CJ1 is fitted in a typical executive interior described as a 4–8 place layout with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory; configuration and refurbishments may vary by aircraft, and any particular interior modifications to this airframe are not published. Operated from Altadena, CA, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short- to medium-range business travel, leveraging a 1,200 nm range and a 368 kt cruise speed for regional point-to-point trips. The twin Williams FJ44 engines provide the rated thrust and performance characteristics that support operations up to a 41,000 ft service ceiling; maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect its 1999 build year and corporate ownership maintenance program. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities for this airframe are not detailed in the available data.

As a member of the Cessna CitationJet CJ1 family, this airframe’s specifications—8 seats, 1,200 nm range, 368 kt cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling—define its performance niche within the light, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet category. The presence of two Williams FJ44 engines with 1,900 lbf thrust each contributes to the type’s operational efficiency and maintenance profile. With a reported market value of $1,700,000 and a 1999 manufacture date, resale and upkeep considerations for this airframe will be influenced by age, refurbishments, and corporate ownership history.
