N525AW

The airframe bearing registration N525AW is a 2000-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1), serial number 525-0369, recorded in U.S. civil registry. The aircraft is owned by the corporation D AND D AVIATION LLC, based in Tahoe City, CA, US, and has been operated from that home base under corporate ownership. The airframe’s documented valuation is $1,900,000, reflecting its condition and market placement among early-model CJ1s. No other notable registry actions or ownership transfers are published in the provided data.

This specific CJ1 is configured in an executive layout with the FAA listing 8 seats; common operator fits for the type and likely for this airframe are 4–6 executive seats plus a belted lavatory or refreshment center, matching typical corporate mission profiles. Avionics for the airframe are consistent with CJ1/CJ1+ panels, typically a Collins Pro Line 21 suite, although individual fit varies by airframe and final equipment of N525AW is not itemized beyond that typical fit. Operational use for the owner/operator based in Tahoe City, CA would be consistent with short- to mid-range corporate hops, air-taxi work, and positioning flights within the aircraft’s approximately 1,248 nm range and cruise speed near 323 kts. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on oversight of the twin Williams FJ44-1A engines and keeping avionics and interior fittings aligned with executive transport expectations.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche for short to medium missions, offering efficient twin-engine cruise and single-pilot capability in many operator configurations. Competing models in the segment include other light jets that emphasize similar speed-range tradeoffs; resale and demand for early 2000s CJ1s are influenced by installed avionics, engine time, and interior condition. For an airframe like N525AW, prospective buyers and charter operators will weigh the documented value $1,900,000 against maintenance history, avionics standardization (e.g., Collins Pro Line 21), and cabin configuration when assessing operational and resale prospects.
