N511TC

The airframe bearing tail number N511TC is a 1994-built Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (Citation CJ1), serial 525-0074, and is recorded in the US civil registry. Currently owned by BAM AVIATION OF NEW YORK LLC, an LLC based in Sanford, FL, US, the airframe’s chain of title as published is limited to the present ownership record. The aircraft’s advertised market valuation is $1,800,000, and public details on condition or major refurbishments are not published. Notable registry actions and historical maintenance events are not published for this specific airframe.

This CJ1 is configured for executive transport and is typically outfitted with executive club seating; the common arrangement for the model is a four-place club plus forward and rear seats, and operator-specific variations can apply. Avionics fit for the airframe is listed as Collins Pro Line 21 as typical for CJ1 models, although the precise equipment fitment can vary by airframe and is not uniquely itemized in the public record for N511TC. Operated from its owner’s base in Sanford, Florida, the aircraft is suited to short- to medium-range business missions, including point-to-point regional hops within the continental US and to nearby international destinations within its 1,300 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with light-jet schedules for Williams FJ44-series engines and airframe inspections customary to 1990s-build CitationJets.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (Citation CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speeds (around 381 kts) and access to smaller airports with lower operating costs than larger-cabin jets. Typical competitors include other light jets of the early 1990s and subsequent light-jet models, which prospective buyers and charter operators evaluate on dispatch reliability, retrofit avionics, and engine-cycle life. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1994 CJ1 such as N511TC center on avionics upgrades (e.g., modernization from original fits), airframe hours, and remaining TBO/overhaul life on the Williams FJ44 engines; such factors materially influence valuations around the cited $1,800,000 level.
