N3SW

This entry documents the airframe bearing registration N3SW, a 2002-build Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 with manufacturer serial number 525-0501. The jet is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by AERO BURRO LLC, an LLC based in San Antonio, TX; this ownership is the primary public registry action on file for this airframe. The aircraft's documented condition and market valuation place it at approximately $1,900,000, reflecting its status as an early-production CJ1 example equipped with standard propulsion for the type. No additional historic operator transfers, lien notations, or major registry events are published in the provided data.

The aircraft is configured as an eight-place cabin (FAA seat count 8), consistent with light business jet interior arrangements typical of the CJ1 line. As operated from its San Antonio, TX registry base, typical mission profiles would center on short- to mid-range business travel within the continental United States, exploiting the type’s roughly 1,550 nm range and high single-engine cruise speed capability to support point-to-point charter or owner-flown trips. The twin Williams FJ44-1A engines, each rated at 1,900 lbf, provide the performance to reach a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, beneficial for efficient cruise and weather avoidance. Specific avionics fit, cabin modifications, or supplemental type certifications are not published in the supplied data and therefore are not detailed here.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 family occupies the light business jet niche, prized for economical operating costs and compact field performance relative to larger light jets. With cruise speeds near 329 kts and an eight-seat layout, the CJ1 competes with contemporaries from Embraer and Learjet entry models for owner-operators and small charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2002 airframe hinge on engine program status, avionics currency, and structural/component life-limited items; the listed valuation of $1,900,000 reflects those common market factors for early-2000s CJ1s.
