N525BR

This entry documents airframe N525BR, a 2001-built Cessna Citation CJ1 (Cessna 525) with serial number 525-0444. The aircraft is owned by HUFF AIR LLC, an LLC based in Uvalde, TX, US, and is US-registered as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet. The airframe appears in current broker and sale listings that note a five-place executive cabin configuration and an avionics fit that includes Collins Pro Line 21 with a quoted Garmin GTN-750/650 retrofit option. Valuation and condition summaries in the listing indicate an estimated market value of $1,595,000.

The airframe is reported in the current sale listing with a 5-place executive layout, while the type certificate allows up to 8 seats, indicating flexibility between corporate shuttle and executive transport configurations. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line 21, with brokerage notes highlighting an available retrofit path to Garmin GTN-750/650 units, which would modernize navigation and situational awareness systems. Typical mission profiles for this airframe class include short- to mid-range executive hops consistent with its 1,266 nm range and 380 kt cruise, operating from the owner/operator base in Uvalde, Texas. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe would follow CJ1 lineage schedules and documentation; the listing-driven retrofit option suggests active avionics modernization plans.

The Cessna Citation CJ1 (Cessna 525) occupies the light business jet niche, offering low- to mid-range transcontinental capability with efficient twin Williams FJ44 series turbofans. Competing models in its performance and mission bracket include other light-cabin jets from the same era; buyer and charter demand often centers on operating cost, avionics maturity, and interior condition. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2001 airframe hinge on completed upgrades—particularly avionics retrofits—and documented maintenance status, both of which strongly influence the listed $1,595,000 valuation.
