Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N525CT, is a 2008-built example of the Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+ with serial number 525A0397, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna). It is recorded as owned by HEARTLAND COMPANIES INC, a corporate owner based in Columbia, IL, US, which serves as the aircraft's primary operator/home base on public records. No public record of notable registry actions or ownership transfers beyond the listed corporate ownership has been published. The airframe is valued at $3,300,000 in current listings and is presented in typical executive condition for its category.
The aircraft is configured in an 8-place executive layout with aft belted lavatory as reported in listings, providing a compact business/intercity cabin arrangement suitable for typical light-citation missions. Avionics are reported in a typical fit of Collins Pro Line 21, supporting regional business operations, single-pilot or two-pilot crew configurations as required by operator procedures. With a maximum cruise near 411 kt and a ferry/mission range of approximately 1,613 nm, the airframe is commonly employed on short to mid-range corporate trips, air-taxi legs, and point-to-point regional charters. Maintenance and operational planning for this specific airframe align with standard CJ2+ program schedules and Williams FJ44-3A engine support considerations.
The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+ occupies the light-citation niche with efficient twin FJ44 turbofans and a high-altitude capability to 45,000 ft, offering speed and runway performance attractive to owner-operators and charter operators. Competing models in the segment include other light jets offering similar eight-seat executive interiors; the CJ2+ is noted for low operating empty weight and established support from Textron/Cessna. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2008 airframe reflect typical market demand for well-equipped Pro Line 21-equipped CJ2+ examples, where avionics fit, engine cycles, and maintenance history drive valuation around the published $3.3M figure.
