N170MU

This entry covers airframe N170MU, a Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) completed in 1996 with serial number 525-0170. The airframe is held in corporate ownership by CITATIONJET 525 LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, and it carries a United States registration. Registered in the United States under an LLC based in Wilmington, Delaware, the airframe’s documented history centers on corporate ownership rather than individual proprietor operations. Public records reflect standard registry actions consistent with corporate-held light business jets; valuation and specific condition reports for this airframe are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe is configured as an eight-seat light business jet, consistent with the Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) family seating arrangement; specific cabin layout, finish level, and avionics fit for this individual aircraft are Not published. Typical missions for this type and configuration include short- to mid-range corporate travel and on-demand charter missions within a roughly 1,300 nm radius at high-speed cruise of about 389 knots and operating ceilings up to 41,000 feet. As a corporate-owned asset, routine operation and maintenance considerations would follow standard Textron Aviation/Cessna maintenance programs for the CJ1 series, with attention to engine-specific service intervals for the Williams FJ44-1A / FJ44-1AP powerplants. Based at the owner’s registered location in Wilmington, DE, US, the aircraft’s operational profile is oriented toward business transport rather than heavy charter rotation.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light jet niche for efficient short- to medium-range corporate transport, offering modest cabin capacity of 8 seats and practical operating economics with twin Williams FJ44 series engines producing 1,965 lbf each. Competing models in this market segment historically include other light jets with similar range and cruise profiles; buyer and charter demand for CJ1 airframes tends to emphasize low-hour, well-maintained examples and clear maintenance records. For resale and upkeep, considerations specific to this airframe include age-related avionics upgrade potential and the maintenance history of its Williams engines, while corporate LLC ownership often simplifies transaction logistics and registry continuity.
