N525CD

The airframe bearing tail number N525CD is a Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) built in 2000 with serial number 525-0360. Manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation), this specific airframe is registered in the United States and listed as owned by LINCOLN TRANSPORT D LLC of Newark, DE, US. The listed value for the airframe is $1,700,000, and registry entries indicate standard US corporate ownership and operation; ownership is held through an LLC and domiciled in Newark, Delaware. No extraordinary incident history is published in the provided data set.

The cabin configuration for this airframe follows the common CJ1 executive layout, featuring a typical 4–6 passenger executive club layout with forward galley and belted aft lavatory (common CJ1 configuration), accommodating up to 8 seats in total certification. Avionics are fitted with Collins Pro Line 21, a system commonly found on CJ1 listings and suitable for regional business missions and single-pilot operations when configured as such. Operationally the airframe’s 1,300 nm range and 381 kt cruise speed position it for short- to mid-range point-to-point corporate or charter hops, with basing and ownership centered in Newark, DE. Maintenance considerations follow standard CJ1 practice given the twin Williams FJ44-1A engines and typical executive interior features.

As a member of the Cessna CitationJet family, the Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche focused on efficient short-haul corporate travel with relatively low operating costs and simple systems compared with larger jets. The airframe’s published performance figures—cruise of 381 kts, ceiling 41,000 ft, and range 1,300 nm—reflect the family’s emphasis on speed and runway performance for regional missions. Market considerations for this specific airframe include age (built 2000), the installed Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, and twin Williams FJ44-1A engines; these factors, together with corporate ownership structure, drive resale and maintenance planning tied to its listed $1,700,000 valuation.
