N213JT

The airframe bearing tail number N213JT is a 2002-built Cessna 525 Citation CJ1, serial 525-0492, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by LAKE AIR SALE LLC, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US, which represents the most recent documented ownership interest. Registry records indicate the airframe has remained in corporate ownership rather than individual private ownership, and valuation notes place the aircraft at an estimated $2,000,000, reflecting market and condition assessments current to the provided data. Condition highlights correspond to a typical early-2000s light business jet showing market valuation consistent with airframe age, avionics modernization cycles, and maintenance status customary for active corporate-operated CJ1 aircraft.

The CJ1 airframe configured with 8 seats typically supports short to mid-range corporate missions, ferry and on-demand charter flights, and point-to-point business travel within the aircraft’s 1,300 nm range and high-speed cruise of 381 kts. Operated from a corporate owner based in Wilmington, DE, US, the aircraft’s mission profile would commonly include regional hops along the eastern seaboard and intra-continent flights compatible with its single-pilot-capable design philosophy (operator-specific). Cabin layout for this Citation CJ1 airframe is consistent with light jet executive interiors of its model class, offering a compact executive cabin suitable for up to eight occupants; specific aftermarket interior or avionics upgrades for this serial are not published in the supplied data. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with CJ1 program schedules and Williams FJ44 engine shop visit planning based on hours and cycles.

The Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 occupies the light, entry-level business jet niche within Cessna’s Citation family, offering efficient operating economics, single-pilot capability, and access to smaller airports with a ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in the early-2000s light-jet market included other entry-level Citations and light jets from manufacturers targeting owner-operators and small corporates; demand centers on buyers seeking lower acquisition cost and favorable operating economics. Resale considerations for this 2002 airframe with serial 525-0492 and current valuation of $2,000,000 hinge on records of maintenance, avionics upgrades and engine time; the Williams FJ44 powerplant family is noted for favorable fuel efficiency and shop visit intervals, factors that influence continuing buyer and charter demand.
