N525CP

This airframe, registered as N525CP, is a 1997 built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1), serial number 525-0228, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The jet is registered in the United States and is currently owned by PIPPING CONSTRUCTION LLC, a corporation based in Rosendale, WI, US, as shown in civil registry records. There are no public notations of major registry actions beyond standard corporate registration; its listed market valuation and documented equipment suggest a well-maintained light business jet configured for executive transport. Recent dealer brochure specifications and the valuation place the airframe in a used light-jet market segment with an assessed price of $1,900,000.

The cabin of N525CP is outfitted in an executive configuration featuring a forward side-facing seat, aft club seating and dual executive tables finished in light cream leather trim, supporting business and short-haul executive missions. Avionics listed for this specific airframe reference the Honeywell SPZ-5000 IFCS / Silver Crown suite as published in dealer literature, indicating modernized flight guidance and systems integration for its generation. With a cruise speed of 404 kts and a ferry/mission range of 1,550 nm, typical operations would include regional executive hops and point-to-point charters within the continental United States from its corporate base in Rosendale, WI. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 1997 manufacture date and twin Williams FJ44 engines, with periodic inspections and potential component life-limited parts replacement consistent with CitationJet fleet programs.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche as a small, efficient entry-level Citation with performance adequate for short to medium-range missions and access to smaller airports. Competing models in this segment historically include early variants of the Beechjet/Phenom and Learjet light-cabin types; the CJ1’s combination of 404 kt cruise and 41,000 ft ceiling keeps it competitive for owner-operators and charter operators prioritizing speed and runway performance. Buyer and charter demand for a well-equipped, executive-trim CJ1 like N525CP tends to center on cost-conscious corporate users; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine time, avionics upgrades such as the Honeywell SPZ-5000, and the documented interior condition reflected in the light cream leather executive layout.
