N363SH

This airframe, registered N363SH, is a 1993-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) carrying serial number 525-0012. The airframe is listed with an ownership status of SALE REPORTED to an Individual based in Oberlin, KS, US, and is registered in the US. As one of the earlier CJ1s produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation), the airframe’s long in-service life and single-owner change recorded as SALE REPORTED are notable for prospective buyers and registries. Valuation records indicate a market value of $1,200,000, reflecting age, configuration and remaining economic utility.

The cabin of this Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) is outfitted to the industry-standard layout for CJ1-class aircraft, described as a typical 5–6 executive seating arrangement within an eight-seat certified capacity, suitable for short- to mid-range corporate or owner-flown missions. Based on the reported owner location in Oberlin, KS, typical operations would include regional hops across the central United States, leveraging the aircraft’s 1,550 nm range and high cruise speed of 404 kts for efficient point-to-point travel. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe include the legacy age (1993 build) and the two Williams FJ44-1A turbofan engines, which demand type-specific inspections and life-limited component tracking consistent with older CJ1 examples. No aftermarket cabin retrofit or avionics detail is published in the available data for this airframe.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche, offering jet performance and lower operating costs than larger midsize types, with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft that supports efficient en route profiles. Competing models in the same market segment include early-model Embraer Phenom 100s and later Citation variants; resale and buyer demand for early-1990s CJ1s tends to hinge on total time, engine program status, and interior condition. Given the reported valuation of $1,200,000, maintenance status of the Williams FJ44-1A engines and documented ownership events such as SALE REPORTED will be primary determinants of near-term marketability and charter suitability.
