N525BT

This article describes the single airframe bearing registration N525BT, a Cessna 525 Citation CJ built in 1996 with serial number 525-0161. The airframe is owned by WHITING WINGS LLC, a corporate owner based in Alexander, AR, US, and is operated from that home base under United States registry. The airframe is equipped and listed with broker-specified avionics and cabin fittings; registration and broker listings indicate a completed executive interior and avionics retrofit details consistent with light business jet operations. Broker valuation places the aircraft at $1,900,000, reflecting its model year, equipment fit and market position.

The cabin of this airframe is configured as an executive layout supporting five main cabin passengers with a forward divan (entry-side belted seat) and an aft belted flushing lav, as described in broker listings; the certification seating capacity is 8. Avionics fit for this specific airframe includes a Honeywell SPZ-5000 EFIS two-tube system paired with a Garmin GNS-500 GPS and a Honeywell KMD-540 multi-function display, per broker listings, supporting modern glass-cockpit situational awareness and navigation. Typical mission profiles for the aircraft include short- to mid-range corporate or owner-flown trips up to the certified range of 1,300 nm at cruise speeds near 381 kts and operating ceilings up to 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations follow light twin-jet practices for Williams FJ44 engines and avionics-specific support consistent with Honeywell and Garmin components.

The Cessna 525 Citation CJ family occupies the light business jet niche, offering compact cabin comforts with twin Williams FJ44 powerplants for efficient short- to mid-range missions. Competing models in its class include other light jets with similar range and cruise performance; buyer and charter demand typically favors examples with updated avionics and well-documented maintenance history such as this airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft emphasize engine time on the Williams FJ44-1A series, interior condition (executive five-passenger fit with belted divan and lav), and the broker-identified avionics suite when establishing market comparables and supporting the listed valuation of $1,900,000.
