N21RA

This entry covers airframe N21RA, a 2002-built Cessna light business jet with serial number 525A-0092. The aircraft is a factory-built Cessna 525A (Citation CJ2) completed in 2002 and later registered in the United States; it currently appears on record under the corporate trustee ownership of TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE of North Salt Lake, UT, US. The airframe has the US registration N21RA and, as an in-service Citation CJ2, carries typical fleet maintenance and inspection histories associated with mid-production CJ2 airframes; no additional notable registry actions beyond trustee ownership are published. Valuation for this specific airframe is recorded at $3,500,000, reflecting its age, configuration and the CJ2 market position.

The aircraft is outfitted in an 8-place executive layout (typical CJ2 seating), providing a conventional light-cabin executive arrangement common to Cessna Citation CJ2 examples. Typical missions for this airframe profile include short- to medium-range business charters, owner-operator point-to-point trips, and corporate repositioning within a roughly 1,600 nm mission radius, operating from regional and major airports. Avionics fit is consistent with the CJ2 family standard for its production era, and maintenance considerations align with twin-engine Williams FJ44 powerplants and piston-era auxiliary systems common to 2002 CJ2s. As a corporate-trust-owned asset based in North Salt Lake, Utah, its operational base and scheduling tend to mirror regional charter and corporate use patterns.

The Cessna 525A (Citation CJ2) occupies the light business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes than turboprops while remaining more economical than larger midsize jets. With cruise capability of 402 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the model competes with other light jets powered by modern small turbofan engines; primary market comparisons include other light-cabin jets of the early 2000s. Buyer and charter demand for CJ2 airframes is influenced by airframe condition, engine cycles on the WILLIAMS FJ44 series, and avionics modernization needs; resale considerations for this airframe would weigh its 2002 build year and $3,500,000 valuation against required continued maintenance and potential upgrades.
