N148FB

This airframe, registered as N148FB, is a Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 built in 2003 with serial number 525A0148. The aircraft is owned by Telum Air LLC (Sioux Falls, SD, US) and is registered in the US; public records list the operator/location as Sioux Falls, South Dakota. The registry entries and available listings identify the airframe as having the Collins avionics suite and an executive interior; its current market valuation is recorded at $3,295,000. No other ownership changes or notable registry actions are published beyond the documented Telum Air LLC ownership.

The cabin of this specific CJ2 is configured as a six-passenger center-club executive layout with a left-hand refreshment center and a belted flushing lavatory; the registry lists a total of 8 seats including cockpit positions. Avionics are advertised as Collins Pro Line 21, consistent with Pro Line 21-equipped listings for the model, supporting typical single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations common to light mid-size business jets. With a cruise speed of 410 kts and a range of 1,781 nm, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range business missions, charter hops, and regional corporate travel out of its Sioux Falls base. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe follow the CJ2 program norms, including attention to the Williams FJ44-2C engine maintenance intervals and avionics lifecycle for the Pro Line 21 suite.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies the light business jet niche, offering high single-pilot capability, modest operating costs, and runway performance attractive to regional operators. Competing models in its segment include other light-cabin jets with similar range and speed profiles; demand typically comes from owner-operators and charter providers seeking efficient regional transports. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2003 build year and the valuation of $3,295,000, with long-term value influenced by engine cycles on the two Williams FJ44-2C engines and the condition/upgrades of the Collins Pro Line 21 avionics and the executive cabin fit.
