N324BD

This entry covers airframe N324BD, a 2008-built Cessna 525 Citation CJ1+ with manufacturer's serial number 525-0674, registered in the United States. The airframe is owned and operated by GODWIN AVIATION LLC of Dunn, NC, US, with registry entries reflecting U.S. registration and an assessed market value of $2,595,000. The airframe’s documented history includes both registry data and broker representation discrepancies regarding seating configuration, noted separately below. Overall condition and equipment are consistent with an executive light-citation configured for short- to mid-range corporate transport.

The aircraft is fitted with an executive-style cabin described in broker listings as a 6-seat/6-passenger executive interior featuring a forward right-side facing belted seat, dual executive writing tables, and an aft belted lavatory (airline-style belted lav); however, the FAA registry documents 8 seats for the airframe, an important operational and regulatory distinction that has been noted in transactional materials. Avionics are robust for the platform, installed as a Collins Pro Line 21 suite incorporating Collins FMS-3000, GPS-4000A, Landmark TAWS-8000, SkyWatch HP TCAS-I, and ALT-4000 radar altimeter, supporting typical executive missions up to the aircraft’s 1,550 nm range and cruise at 404 kts. Based in Dunn, NC, the operator’s mission profile for this airframe would center on regional business transport and on-demand charter operations within the aircraft’s performance envelope.

As a Cessna 525 Citation CJ1+ airframe, N324BD sits within the light-citation category emphasizing efficient short- to mid-range executive transport with a maximum cruise near 404 kts and a ceiling of 41,000 ft. The twin Williams FJ44-1AP engines rated at 1,965 lbf each underpin its performance and operating-cost profile. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include equipment fit (Collins Pro Line 21 avionics) and the documented seating discrepancy between broker advertising and FAA registry, which can affect certification, interior refurbishment choices, and market valuation noted at $2,595,000.
