The aircraft is registered in the United States to KAR AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in New Albany, MS, US, which is the listed owner and operator/home base association for this airframe.

The cabin for this airframe conforms to the executive 7–8 place typical CJ1 layout and is single-pilot capable, permitting operations without a mandatory two-pilot crew for many corporate and charter missions. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short- to medium-range executive travel within the continental United States, leveraging the 1,248 nm range and a cruise speed near 329 kts for point-to-point trips under a few hours. Based at the owner’s locale in New Albany, Mississippi, the operator would commonly employ the aircraft for company transportation, charter operations or owner-flown executive use; specific avionics fit and interior amenities for this individual airframe are not published. Maintenance considerations follow the CJ1 series norms for twin Williams FJ44-powered light jets, with attention to engine monitoring and compliance with manufacturer airworthiness directives.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche, offering efficient short-to-medium-range performance and single-pilot capability, typified by this 1997 model airframe. With twin Williams FJ44-1A engines producing 1,900 lbf each and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the CJ1 competes with other light jets of its era in operator appeal for cost-conscious owners and charter operators. Buyer and charter demand for late-1990s CJ1s tends to concentrate on airframes with well-documented maintenance histories and upgraded avionics; resale considerations for this airframe would hinge on interior condition, avionics modernization, and records, none of which are published in the supplied data.
