N504P

The airframe bearing tail number N504P is a 1993-built example of the Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1), serial 525-0026, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is registered in the US and is owned by WIDE OPEN MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC, an LLC based in Winston‑Salem, NC, US; the aircraft is documented as registered to that entity. Valuation records list the airframe at $1,500,000, reflecting its age, model standard configuration, and market position among early light-cabin business jets.

The airframe is configured in the model-standard executive cabin with a typical 6–8 place layout common to the Citation 525 family, supporting short to mid-range business missions and light charter use. Based on the owner’s location in Winston‑Salem, NC, the aircraft’s operational profile would commonly include regional trips across the eastern United States within its 1,300 nm range and cruise at approximately 381 kts, although specific route logs are not published. Avionics fit, maintenance history, and interior refurbishment records for this serial are not published in the supplied data; the current documented status centers on registry and ownership rather than detailed retrofit or refurbishment events. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the Citation 525 family’s support requirements, in particular the Williams FJ44 engine series commonality.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light-cabin, short-to-medium range niche, offering efficient operations with twin Williams FJ44 powerplants producing 1,965 lbf thrust each and a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft. Its performance—cruise speed around 381 kts and a practical 1,300 nm range—targets owner-operators and regional charter operators seeking lower operating costs relative to larger business jets. Given its 1993 build year and a listed value of $1,500,000, resale and maintenance considerations typically focus on engine life, avionics upgrades, and interior condition when comparing against competing light jets of its era.
