Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N525F, is a Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 525A0025. The airframe is recorded as owned by ELEMENT AVIATION SERVICES LLC, an LLC based in Belgrade, MT, US, and is registered in the United States. Registry entries note an operator-configured executive layout and the aircraft carries an estimated market value of $2,800,000; the listing identifies it as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet reflecting typical CJ2 condition and configuration for its vintage.
The cabin for this specific airframe is reported as an operator-configured 6-passenger executive layout, while official registry records list 8 seats, indicating a common retrofit for enhanced executive comfort over factory seating density. Typical missions for N525F would include short- to mid-range corporate and charter hops within the continental United States, leveraging a 1,550 nm range and 410 kt cruise speed for rapid point-to-point travel. Avionics fit is not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations follow Williams FJ44-series engine support practices and CitationJet airframe inspection cycles. Based in Belgrade, MT, operator logistics and maintenance are likely coordinated from that regional home base, with cabin amenities tailored to executive transport rather than high-density commuter use.
The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies the light business jet niche, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes—up to 45,000 ft—than many piston or turboprop alternatives, and competes with aircraft such as the Embraer Phenom 300 and older light King Air conversions in some mission profiles. Demand typically comes from owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficient short to mid-range performance; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2001 airframe include continuing Williams FJ44 support and airframe fatigue inspections typical of early-2000s light jets. The reported market value of $2,800,000 places this airframe within expected pricing for well-maintained CJ2 examples of similar vintage.
