N31HD

The airframe bearing tail number N31HD is a 1998-built Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1, constructor serial 525-0261, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). Owned by Hotel Delta LLC, a corporation based in Sacramento, California, United States, the aircraft is U.S.-registered and has been identified in civil records as operated from that corporate home base. The airframe’s assessed market value is $1,700,000, reflecting its late-1990s build standard and typical CJ1-era equipment; specific condition and recent maintenance status are not published in the supplied data. No other registry actions or historic operators are provided in the available dataset.

The cabin of N31HD follows the executive CJ1 layout with a 6‑place club configuration and includes the belted aft lavatory option typical for this model, providing a compact executive environment for short- to mid-range business missions. Avionics are described as the typical CJ1-era fit — commonly the Collins Pro Line 21 — but the specific avionics fitment for N31HD is not published. Operationally, the aircraft’s combination of 381 kts cruise and 1,200 nm range suits point-to-point corporate or charter missions within continental U.S. sectors from its Sacramento base; payload and modifications beyond the listed cabin option are not detailed. Maintenance considerations follow standard CJ1 practice given the Williams FJ44-1A powerplants and late-1990s airframe age, though no specific maintenance history is supplied.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light business jet niche for short-haul executive transport, prioritizing efficient cruise and single-pilot capability in many operator configurations. Competing models in this performance and capacity bracket often include other late-1990s light jets offering similar cruise speeds and ranges; resale interest typically hinges on avionics fit and maintenance records, which for N31HD are not published beyond the common Pro Line 21 era fit. Buyers and charter operators evaluating this airframe would compare the $1,700,000 valuation against entry costs for avionics upgrades, engine time remaining, and any interior refurbishments to align the aircraft with contemporary market expectations.
