N144YD

The airframe bearing tail number N144YD is a 2003 Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 with serial number 525A0144. It is registered in the United States and is currently owned by Pinnacle Aviation Group LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE. The aircraft’s recorded paperwork indicates the OEM configuration and standard CJ2 specifications carried into service in 2003; valuation documents list its market value at $3,500,000. Registry details identify the operator/home base as Wilmington, DE, US, and no additional registry actions beyond standard U.S. registration are published in the supplied data.

This airframe is fitted in a typical seven- to eight-place executive club layout with a forward refreshment center and a belted lavatory, reflecting the common CJ2 interior fit for business and light charter missions. The avionics suite for this specific CJ2 is the Collins Pro Line 21, an OEM-common fit that supports regional and cross-country IFR operations and modern flight-deck capabilities. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to medium-range corporate transport and on-demand charter operations within the aircraft’s 1,613 nm range and at cruise speeds around 410 knots. Maintenance considerations follow standard CJ2 practices for the Williams FJ44 engines and Pro Line 21 systems as applied to a 2003-build airframe under LLC ownership and U.S. registry.

As a Cessna 525A Citation CJ2, Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) positioned this model in the light-cabin, entry-level business jet segment, offering a balance of economy and performance with a 45,000 ft ceiling and efficient FJ44 powerplants. Competing models in its era included other light jets targeting owner-operators and small charter operators; demand on the used market reflects interest in well-equipped, well-maintained CJ2s with Pro Line 21 avionics and executive interiors. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine hours, avionics currency, and interior condition relative to its 2003 build and the stated valuation.
