Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N392SM, is a 2000-production example of the Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1, serial number 525-0392. The airframe is listed as owned by Pacific Flight Services LLC (corporation) and carries a US registration. The aircraft’s recorded build year and serial place it among early CJ1 production runs, and its current book valuation is shown as $1,600,000, reflecting its age and configuration. Notable registry actions and a detailed ownership timeline beyond the current corporate owner have not been published.

The airframe carries a typical five-seat executive layout, with common interior arrangements including a double-club or 4+1 seating plan that supports owner-operator and small corporate mission profiles. While specific avionics fit for this serial are not published here, the CJ1 configuration normally supports single-pilot operation and point-to-point light business transport at high cruise speeds and modest trip distances. With a cruise of 404 kts and a range of 1,550 nm, operations typically consist of short- to mid-range business trips, regional charters, and owner-flown missions. Maintenance considerations for this particular aircraft would follow CJ1 program schedules for the Williams FJ44-1AP turbofans and airframe inspections commensurate with a 2000 build, with any unique amenities or STC modifications not published.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light jet niche for high-speed, short-to-medium range executive transport, offering fast cruise and efficient twin-engine simplicity. Competing models in its era include other light jets that trade cabin size and range against operating cost; the CJ1 is commonly sought for owner-operators and small charter operators. Given this airframe’s 2000 build date and an indicated value of $1,600,000, resale and buyer demand will hinge on maintenance history, avionics upgrades, and interior condition, while engine program status on the two Williams FJ44-1AP units will be a primary factor in acquisition and operating cost considerations.
