Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N238RM is a 2009-built Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+, manufacturer serial number 525A0453, recorded as owned by SACJ LLC of San Antonio, TX, US. This airframe is registered in the United States and listed under the single LLC owner based in San Antonio. The airframe configuration and age place it within the later-production CJ2+ lot built by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) in 2009; registry and ownership records indicate no additional operators are published for this specific serial. Current valuation for the airframe is listed at $4,000,000, reflecting its 2009 build and the CJ2+ market position.
The cabin on this airframe conforms to the typical Citation CJ2+ executive arrangement, a 6–8 place layout featuring a center club seating group with provisions for a forward or aft belted lavatory. As operated from its San Antonio base under SACJ LLC, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short to medium-range business travel, leveraging a 1,781 nm range and 410 kt cruise for efficient point-to-point charter or owner/operator flights. Avionics fit and specific interior finish of this serial are not published; maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on the twin Williams FJ44-3A-24 turbofans and standard CJ2+ scheduled component programs.
The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+ occupies the light-cabin, light-twin business jet niche, emphasizing single-pilot capability, economical trip costs, and runway performance suitable for regional operations. With a 45,000 ft ceiling and cruise near 410 kt, the CJ2+ competes with similar light jets in owner-flown and charter markets where purchase prices around $4,000,000 for a 2009 airframe reflect age, installed equipment, and market liquidity. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial center on engine timeframe and avionics updates, which materially affect marketability within the light-jet segment.
