N253CW

This entry covers airframe N253CW, a 1999-built example of the Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 with manufacturer's serial 525-0253. The aircraft is owned by the corporate entity KEYSTONE SENIOR AC LLC, a corporation based in Phoenix, AZ, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe's ownership is recorded under that single corporate owner, and the airframe carries a reported market valuation of $1,900,000, reflecting its status as a late-1990s light business jet with continued utility in corporate or charter operations.

The cabin of this specific Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 is configured for 8 seats, making it suitable for small-group business transport, executive repositioning flights, or light charter missions. Operated from its owner's base in Phoenix, AZ, the aircraft's 1,248 nm range and 381 kts cruise speed allow for regional missions across domestic routes without intermediate stops, while the 41,000 ft ceiling provides access to high-altitude flight levels for efficient routing. Powered by twin Williams FJ44-1A engines producing 1,900 lbf each, maintenance considerations for this airframe will center on legacy support for late-1990s systems and engine shop visit cycles consistent with the model's design. The corporate ownership and U.S. registration suggest routine oversight under U.S. regulatory and maintenance frameworks.

As a member of the CitationJet family, Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 serial 525-0253 represents the light, entry-level business jet segment characterized by modest acquisition cost relative to larger jets, efficient short-to-medium range performance, and straightforward twin-engine systems exemplified by the Williams FJ44-1A propulsion. The aircraft's operational performance—381 kts cruise, 1,248 nm range, and a 41,000 ft ceiling—defines its performance niche for point-to-point regional business travel. Given its 1999 build year and an assessed value of $1,900,000, resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will typically weigh calendar age against cumulative utilization, maintenance history, and the continued availability of parts and support for the platform.
