N38QA

The airframe bearing tail number N38QA is a 2004-built Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and identified by serial number 525A0214. Ownership is recorded to 7 SEAS AVIATION LLC — co-owned with SMG LEASING LLC; CRKIII LLC — with the owner entity located in Monroe, GA, US. The aircraft is registered in the US and is listed as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet in corporate service. Registry and corporate ownership entries emphasize shared corporate ownership rather than an individual proprietorship, reflecting a common financing and leasing structure for light-cabin business jets of this vintage.

The airframe is outfitted with a typical CJ2 executive cabin configured in a 6–8-place executive layout (CJ2 executive seating), supporting short- to mid-range corporate missions and on-demand charter work. With eight seats available, the interior is sized for small corporate delegations or owner-operator use on routes up to its 1,550 nm range, enabling non-stop regional sectors and transcontinental legs with punctual refueling stops. Its twin Williams FJ44 turbofan engines, each producing 2,400 lbf, support a cruise speed of 402 kts and a service ceiling up to 45,000 ft, allowing efficient cruise above commercial traffic and favorable fuel-burn regimes for its class. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the CJ2 program norms, where shared corporate ownership often centralizes scheduled inspections and component exchanges across related entities.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business-jet niche, prized for short-field performance, economical operating costs, and efficient pair-of-engine redundancy. Typical competitors include other light jets offering similar mission capability and ranges; buyer and charter demand remains driven by fleet availability and maintenance history for 2004-era airframes. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial — 525A0214 — are influenced by hours/cycles, inspection status, and any supplemental records associated with its corporate ownership structure and operator maintenance program.
