N45GB

The airframe bearing tail number N45GB is a 2011-built Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+, constructor serial 525A0482, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by ASCAIP LLC, an Alabama limited liability company based in Birmingham, AL, US; no other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published for this specific airframe. As a 2011 model CJ2+ with the listed configuration and equipment, the published indicative market value for this airframe is $4,200,000, reflecting its position within the light-cabin turbofan sector and the typical condition of similarly aged examples.

This airframe is commonly outfitted with a typical executive interior supporting a 6–8 passenger layout and is reported to feature a forward refreshment center with a belted lavatory in common CJ2+ configurations, though the exact interior fit for N45GB is not confirmed. Avionics for the CJ2+ are commonly the Collins Pro Line 21 suite; aftermarket retrofit paths such as Garmin G3000 are known for the model and may be present on some examples, but specific avionics equipment for N45GB is not published beyond the common fit. Operationally, the CJ2+ performs short- to mid-range executive missions consistent with its 1,781 nm range and 418 kt cruise, typically operating from company or charter bases — in this case with an owner based in Birmingham, AL, US — and is used for point-to-point business travel and on-demand charter assignments. Maintenance and cabin refurbishment histories for this serial are not published in the supplied data.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+ occupies the light, fast-cabin niche among small business jets, offering transcontinental-short range capability with high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing models in the segment include other light-cabin turbofans; market demand typically centers on owner-operators and charter fleets seeking a balance of speed, operating cost, and runway performance. For a 2011 airframe like 525A0482, prospective buyers and operators factor in lifecycle maintenance, avionics upgrade potential (e.g., Pro Line 21 to Garmin G3000), and resale considerations tied to total time, maintenance status, and interior condition when assessing the $4,200,000 valuation.
