N315HC

This airframe, registration N315HC, is a 2000-build example of the Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 with serial number 525-0373. It is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by HOOPER HOLDINGS LLC, a corporation based in Madison, WI. The airframe’s corporate ownership and US registration have defined its operational role predominantly in the US business aviation market. Current market valuation for this specific airframe is listed at $1,700,000.

The cabin for this airframe is fitted in a typical executive configuration described as a 5–6 place executive club layout with a forward refreshment center and a belted lavatory, though final layout and fitment remain operator-dependent. Avionics aboard this type are typically the Collins Pro Line 21, and an OEM-supported retrofit — a Garmin all‑Glass STC — was announced for 2025, representing a pathway for modernizing the cockpit on this airframe. Typical mission profiles for N315HC under corporate ownership would include short- to mid-range business trips within the continental US consistent with the aircraft’s 1,266 nm range and high cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow CJ1 norms, including attention to the Williams FJ44 series engine support and avionics upgrade pathways when assessing lifecycle cost.

The Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 occupies the light business jet niche with a balance of speed, range, and operating economics intended for owner-operators and charter operators. With a cruise near 389 kts and a ceiling of 41,000 ft, it competes with other very light/light jets in buyer and charter demand. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (525-0373) reflect its age (built 2000), corporate use profile, and the availability of avionics retrofits like the announced Garmin all‑Glass STC, all of which influence marketability and long-term ownership costs.
