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.

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.
