N325SJ

This article covers airframe N325SJ, a factory-built airframe completed in 1979 with serial number 550-0097. The airframe is a conversion of the original Citation II platform marketed as Cessna 550 Citation II (Super S-II / FJ44 conversion) and is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to DOVENATOR HOLDINGS LLC (corporation) of Thompsons, TX, US, the listed corporate owner and operator/home base location. Recent registry and equipment records list the airframe value at $504,097, with condition and value reflecting its conversion, current avionics fit and turbine engine upgrade.

The cabin for this specific airframe is configured as an executive interior with an advertised 7-place layout (per MSN-specific listings) including a forward galley/refreshment center, a 3-place divan and an aft belted lavatory; the aircraft is listed with 8 seats overall, consistent with corporate transport use. Avionics recorded to the aircraft include a Garmin G600 PFD/MFD, dual Garmin GTN-750 navigators and GTX ADS-B transponders, supporting modern navigation and surveillance compliance. Typical mission profiles for this airframe combine short- to mid-range corporate transport and on-demand charter legs within its 1,998 nm range and high-speed cruise of 403 kts, while the FJ44 conversion improves fuel efficiency and performance envelopes relative to original engines. Maintenance considerations center on the conversion-specific components and modern turbofan support for the Williams FJ44 series; records identify corporate ownership and registry actions consistent with private/corporate operation from Thompsons, TX.

The airframe is a converted member of the Cessna 550 family where the Super S-II/FJ44 modification targets improved performance, lower fuel burn and higher useful load than original Citation II powerplants. In the light-medium business jet niche it competes with updated small-cabin business jets offering transcontinental capability at similar speeds; buyer and charter demand tends to focus on lifecycle cost, avionics upgrades and engine program availability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its conversion to Williams FJ44-3A engines, avionics modernization and corporate ownership, all factors that heavily influence market value and operator appeal.
