N525JA

This entry describes airframe N525JA, a 1981-built Cessna 550 Citation II with factory serial 550-0252 manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (now Textron Aviation). The aircraft is currently owned by NEWSOME JEFF S, an individual based in Blackwell, OK, US, and is US-registered for civil operations. The FAA registry for this airframe records an executive, eight-passenger configuration and the type-certificate configuration remains consistent with original Citation II production standards. FAA-registered seating = 8 is noted in official records.

The airframe carries an 8-passenger executive layout as its FAA-registered cabin configuration, reflecting a typical small-cabin business jet interior tailored for short- to medium-range corporate or private missions. With a maximum practical range of 1,900 nm and a cruise speed near 376 kts, missions generally include regional point-to-point travel and transcontinental segments within U.S. domestic sectors when fuel and payload allow. The twin Pratt & Whitney Canada JT15D-4 turbofan installation provides the rated 2,500 lbf of thrust per engine supporting operations to flight levels approaching the service ceiling of 43,000 ft. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities for this individual airframe are not published in the supplied data.

The Cessna 550 Citation II occupies a long-established light-cabin business jet niche characterized by efficient twin-engine performance, moderate cabin capacity and conventional handling for owner-operators and charter operators alike. With seating and range as listed, the airframe competes with contemporaries in the light-to-light-medium segment where buyers value operating efficiency, familiar maintenance programs and established spare-parts availability. For this specific 1981 serial 550-0252, considerations for prospective operators include age-related maintenance, historical component service life items and adherence to continued airworthiness directives typical for airframes of this vintage.
