N27VQ

This entry describes airframe N27VQ, a Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 built in 2005 with serial number 525A0221. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by ALCYONE TRUST CORP TRUSTEE, a Corporation based in Wichita, KS, US. Registry entries and the ownership listing identify the trustee as the current owner; an interior refit was completed and listed as 1+9 / 9 pax in February 2025. The airframe is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet equipped and maintained for executive single-pilot operations.

The aircraft is fitted in an executive single-pilot layout with a cabin capable of accommodating 8–9 passengers (listed as 1+9 / 9 pax interior refit Feb 2025), while the published seating count for the airframe is 8. Avionics are reported as Collins Pro-Line 21 with a three-tube EFIS, complemented by Dual Garmin 530 units and a GTX 345 transponder pair (per listing), supporting single-pilot IFR operations and modern navigation situational awareness. Typical mission profiles for this configuration leverage the CJ2’s combination of cruise speed and range for regional business travel—efficient point-to-point hops and multi-leg itineraries—operated from its Wichita-based owner/operator environment. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe are tied to its twin Williams FJ44-2C engines and the Pro-Line avionics suite, both of which require specialized support and logbook continuity.

As a Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2, this airframe occupies the light business jet performance niche defined by moderate transcontinental range and high cruise speed, here reflected by a 1,600 nm range and 410 kts cruise at a 45,000 ft ceiling. These characteristics make the CJ2 family suitable for owners and charter operators seeking fast regional connectivity with single-pilot capability. Buyer and charter demand for an airframe like N27VQ is influenced by its specific equipment fit—Williams FJ44-2C engines and Collins Pro-Line 21 avionics—as well as any recent interior updates, which affect both operational flexibility and resale considerations.
