N525CE

This article documents the individual airframe bearing tail number N525CE, a 2003-built example of the Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 with serial number 525A0181. Manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation), this fixed-wing multi-engine business jet is registered in the US and is owned by PLANE HOUSE LLC, an Indianapolis, Indiana–based limited liability company. The airframe’s ownership has been recorded under that LLC in Indianapolis, IN, and its current valuation is listed at $3,100,000.

The specific cabin configuration for N525CE accommodates 8 seats, reflecting the CitationJet CJ2’s common short‑to‑mid‑range executive layout and mission profile. Operated from an Indianapolis, IN base by its owner entity, the aircraft’s combination of a 1,781 nm range and 418 kt cruise speed supports point‑to‑point regional business travel and light charter missions across the continental United States. Typical operational considerations for this airframe include management of twin Williams FJ44 turbofan engines and routine maintenance cycles appropriate to a 2003 model year jet; maintenance history and avionics fit for this individual tail are not published here. Cabin amenities and interior specifics for N525CE are not detailed in the available data.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies a light business‑jet niche characterized by efficient cruise performance and airport flexibility; with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and twin FJ44 powerplants producing 2,400 lbf each, the model emphasizes speed and climb performance for regional missions. Competitors historically include other light jets in the same era, and market demand for well‑maintained CJ2 examples is driven by buyers seeking economical short‑haul capability. For this specific airframe, resale and maintenance considerations will reflect its 2003 build year, serial 525A0181, twin‑engine architecture, and the stated valuation of $3,100,000.
