N27CJ

This airframe, registered as N27CJ, is a 1999-built Cessna Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 with serial number 525-0311. The jet is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by 411KC LLC, an Alabama limited liability company based in Tuscaloosa, AL. The airframe carries factory-installed Williams engines and a six-place executive interior; its market valuation is listed at $1,400,000. Registered to 411KC LLC of Tuscaloosa, AL, the aircraft’s current status and any recent transfers beyond that ownership record are not published in this data set.

The cabin of N27CJ is arranged in a six-place executive layout with a center club four-place configuration, a forward side-facing seat, and a belted aft lavatory seat, reflecting a typical owner/operator executive interior for light business jet missions. Avionics installed on the airframe include a Honeywell two-tube EFIS suite, an Avidyne EX500 multifunction display, a Garmin 530AW navigation/communication unit, and a Sandel ST3400 providing EGPWS and TCAS capability, supporting single-pilot or two-pilot instrument operations. With a 1,485 nm range and a cruise speed near 383 knots, the aircraft is suited to regional point-to-point business missions from its reported base in Tuscaloosa; maintenance considerations center on typical CJ1 systems and the Williams FJ44 engine program as installed on this serial. The compact cabin and belted lavatory seating indicate a configuration optimized for short to mid-range executive trips rather than long-haul comfort modifications.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speed and transcontinental-short-range capability for small-crew or owner-operator use. Competing models in this segment historically include early-generation light jets that balance operating costs and field performance; resale value and buyer demand for a 1999 CJ1 like N27CJ depend on avionics fit, engine program status, and interior condition. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe are influenced by the installed Williams FJ44-1A engines and the avionics suite noted, which can affect marketability compared to later CJ-series upgrades and modern glass cockpit-equipped competitors.
