N505BG

The airframe bearing tail number N505BG is a 2003-built Cessna 525A0188 CitationJet CJ2 produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The certificated owner is SDB CORP (co-ownership with TLM AIR LLC), a corporate owner based in Wichita Falls, TX, US, and the aircraft is registered in the US. Public listings identify the airframe's market valuation at $3,500,000; specific condition reports and recent transactional history are not published. Notable registry actions: Not published.

N505BG is equipped with a typical CJ2 executive cabin configuration described generically as a 6–8-place layout; this includes a forward refreshment center and a belted lavatory as common features, while the specific interior layout for N505BG is not published in public listings. The avionics fit commonly associated with the CJ2 family is the Collins Pro Line 21, though individual aircraft may vary and the exact installations for this serial are not detailed. Operating profiles for this airframe would align with light business-jet missions such as regional point-to-point charters, owner-operator corporate transport, and short transcontinental sectors within the cited range and cruise performance. Based in Wichita Falls by owner location, typical deployments would reflect regional US operations and airspace compatible with a 45,000 ft ceiling; maintenance considerations follow standard CJ2 inspection and component cycles as applied to Williams FJ44-powered CitationJets.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business-jet niche, offering efficient short- to medium-range transport with cruise speeds around 402 kts and a documented range of 1,613 nm. Competing models include other light business jets in the early-2000s cohort; buyer and charter demand historically targets cost-efficient, high-utilization operators and owner-operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by engine type (Williams FJ44 series), avionics fit (Collins Pro Line 21 common), and the airframe's year (2003) and serial (525A0188), all factors in market pricing and component life-cycle planning.
