This airframe is outfitted in the typical executive configuration for the type, a 6–8 place single-aisle executive seating arrangement optimized for short‑to‑medium business missions. With a cruise of 381 kts and a maximum practical ceiling of 41,000 ft, the aircraft is suited to point‑to‑point corporate or charter missions covering roughly 1,248 nm without refueling.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche as a compact, efficient twin‑engine platform powered by two Williams FJ44-1A turbofans producing 1,900 lbf each, which delivers jet performance and low operating cost relative to larger corporate types. Its performance profile—moderate transcontinental range, high single‑engine reliability, and a cruise near 381 kts—competes with other light jets in its class and appeals to owner‑operators and charter operators seeking short field capability and fast point‑to‑point trips. For this specific airframe, buyers and operators would focus on serial 525-0198’s age (1999), service history, and documented maintenance status when assessing resale value and continued operational utility.
