N331PL

The airframe bearing tail number N331PL is a 2002-built Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 with manufacturer serial 525A-0070. It was manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is registered in the United States. The aircraft is owned by LAWLER LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is recorded as an executive transport with an eight-seat registration configuration. Recorded valuation data lists the airframe at $2,312,640, and the twin-engine, light-corporate jet configuration indicates a maintained, market-ready condition consistent with typical CJ2 examples.

This specific CJ2 is outfitted in an executive cabin layout and is registered as an eight-seat configuration, while typical CJ2 examples vary between six–eight passenger executive seating. Its avionics fit is reported as Collins Pro Line 21, a common system for the CJ2 series that supports multi-crew IFR operations and modern navigation/flight-management tasks. With a maximum cruise near 410 kts and a range of 1,512 nm, typical mission profiles for N331PL would include short- to mid-range business travel, point-to-point corporate trips, and charter operations originating from its owner/operator base in Wilmington, Delaware. Maintenance considerations follow standard CJ2 practices for Williams FJ44 series engines and Pro Line avionics life-cycle programs; the airframe’s year and serial placement place it within early CJ2 production runs that may have undergone avionics and interior refreshes over time.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 occupies the light-corporate jet niche with efficient short-field performance, relatively low operating costs for its class, and fast regional cruise capability. Competing models include other light jets with similar mission profiles; demand from private owners and charter operators remains steady for well-maintained CJ2s, particularly those with updated avionics like the Collins Pro Line 21. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine program enrollment for the Williams FJ44-2C engines and cabin/refurbishment history, both factors that materially affect market value and operational availability.
