N43NW

This article documents airframe N43NW, a Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 built in 2004 with serial number 525-0543. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by Airvest Partners LLC, an LLC based in New Bern, NC, US, which is the listed operator and home-base interest for the type certificate and registry actions. The airframe’s condition is reflected in an assessed market value of $1,900,000, consistent with a light business jet of its vintage and configuration. Notable registry and ownership changes are limited to the current documented ownership by Airvest Partners LLC.

This specific airframe is outfitted in an executive 6–8 place layout (single-pilot certificated) with an available belted-lavatory option, providing flexibility for business missions while maintaining single-pilot operations. Typical mission profiles for the airframe reflect point-to-point executive transport within its 1,550 nm range and cruise speeds near 381 kts, enabling regional and short transcontinental sectors under single-pilot dispatch. The twin Williams FJ44-1A engines deliver the thrust cited, supporting efficient climb and cruise to the 41,000 ft ceiling. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with typical light, fixed-wing multi-engine executive jets of the era, and cabin configuration choices such as the belted-lavatory affect weight-and-balance and mission flexibility.

As a Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 airframe from 2004, N43NW occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering a balance of speed, range, and single-pilot certification attractive to owner-operators and charter operators. The aircraft’s performance figures and seating capacity position it for demand in short- to mid-range executive transport, while its assessed value of $1,900,000 and vintage year are primary factors in resale and acquisition considerations. Maintenance history, configuration choices such as the belted-lavatory, and current registry under Airvest Partners LLC will materially influence marketability and operating economics.
