N525BP

This airframe, registered as N525BP, is a 2002 Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) with serial number 525-0479, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna). The aircraft is owned by PMI AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Fishers, Indiana, and is registered in the United States. The airframe is described in sales and registry listings with an estimated market value of $1,800,000, and listings note a cabin conversion to a six-place executive centre-club arrangement while FAA-certified seating remains at eight. Ownership is recorded to an LLC in Fishers, IN, and registry entries reflect typical private operator documentation and value assessment for a 2002 CJ1.

The configured cabin for this specific aircraft is reported as a six-place executive centre-club with a forward refreshment center and a belted aft lavatory per sales listing, while FAA-certified seating is listed as 8, supporting both executive transport and small charter missions. Typical avionics upgrade notes for this airframe class include Garmin GTN‑750/650 units, GTX‑335/345 ADS‑B transponders and, on some listings, TCAS installations; specific fit varies by individual aircraft and entry reflects common upgrades rather than a single standardized suite. Operating from Fishers, IN as the listed owner base, the CJ1 setup supports short- to mid-range point-to-point missions within the continental U.S., favoring speed and flexibility for owner/operators. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet practices for early-model FJ44-powered CitationJets, including periodical engine and avionics upgrade cycles noted in market listings.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies a light-jet niche, offering efficient short- to mid-range performance with a high single-digit to low-double-digit passenger capacity. Competing aircraft typically include other light jets from the same era; demand centers on owner-operators and entry-level charter operators seeking low-cycle, economical jets. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2002 airframe like 525-0479 include inspection-compliance for FJ44 series engines, avionics modernization to ADS‑B and GPS standards, and the market impact of interior refurbishments versus FAA-certified seating configurations.
