The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light business jet niche, offering single-pilot capability, modest operating costs, and transcontinental regional mission flexibility matched to its 1,300 nm range and 41,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the same role typically include other light jets that trade off cabin size, range, and speed; the CJ1’s cruise of 370 kts and twin FJ44 powerplants represent a balance of performance and economy for owner-operators and charter operators alike. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect market demand for well-maintained, corporate-registered CJ1s and the lifecycle costs associated with FJ44-series engines and aging 1990s airframes.
