N1865C

The airframe bearing tail number N1865C is a 2007-built Citation CJ1+ with serial 525-0647, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by HOTEL ALPHA LLC (an LLC based in Tampa, FL, US), which is the listed registrant and operator/home base. The airframe’s equipment pedigree includes a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite and an eight-place executive cabin fitment; exact interior fitment details are not published. No additional historical ownership transfers or notable registry events are publicly detailed in the provided data.

The aircraft is configured with an 8-place executive layout in the cabin, though the exact interior fitment is not publicly listed; this suggests a typical light-jet corporate executive arrangement optimized for short- to medium-haul missions. Avionics are provided by a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting modern navigation, flight management and integrated cockpit operations appropriate for single-pilot or two-pilot corporate use. With a cruise speed of 381 kts and a range of 1,300 nm, typical missions for this airframe under current ownership would include regional business hops and point-to-point interstate flights from its Tampa, Florida base. Maintenance and operational considerations align with light-jet norms for the Cessna Citation lineage and the Williams FJ44 series engines installed on this airframe.

The airframe is a Cessna Citation CJ1+ (525), part of the light-citation family built by Cessna Aircraft Company, positioned for owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficient short-to-medium range performance. With twin Williams FJ44-1AP engines, a 41,000 ft service ceiling and Pro Line 21 avionics, the CJ1+ competes in a market niche against other light jets offering corporate eight-seat layouts and single-pilot capability. Buyer and charter demand typically values dispatch reliability, operating economics and avionics capability; resale and maintenance considerations are influenced by the airframe’s engine selection, avionics package and documented operator maintenance history.
