N30VR

This entry covers airframe N30VR, a 2002-built Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 with serial number 5250481. The aircraft is owned by WD JOURNEYS INC, a corporation based in Downers Grove, IL, US, and operates on a U.S. civil registration. The airframe is equipped and maintained in a configuration typical of the CJ1 series and carries a reported market valuation of $1,900,000. No other public registry actions or prior ownership transfers are published in the supplied data.

The cabin is fitted in a typical light-jet executive layout with a 4–6 passenger executive club arrangement and retains the optional belted lavatory provision as part of the standard CJ1 executive fit. Avionics on this airframe are specified as Collins Pro Line 21, the common suite for the CJ1 series, supporting corporate mission profiles that prioritize short-to-medium haul point-to-point trips. With a cruise speed of 381 kts and a range of 1,248 nm, the aircraft is well suited for regional business travel, air taxi operations, and owner-flown missions from its base in Downers Grove, IL, US. Maintenance considerations follow typical light-jet practices for twin FJ44-equipped airframes, including monitoring of hot-section life and avionics software updates for the Pro Line 21 suite.

The Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 occupies the light business jet niche designed for economical short to mid-range corporate transport, trading cabin volume for lower operating costs and runway performance. In its segment the CJ1 competes with other light jets offering similar payload-range and cruise profiles; buyers often prioritize dispatch reliability and lower acquisition cost relative to larger Citation family models. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect the common factors for early‑2000s CJ1s: engine life-limited components on the Williams FJ44-1A, avionics currency for Collins Pro Line 21, and market sensitivity to total time, maintenance history, and equipment fit at a stated value of $1,900,000.
