The airframe of N525JE is a 2002-built Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 bearing serial number 525-0493, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is currently recorded to SIMPLY LIVING LLC, an LLC based in Fort Myers, FL, US, and is registered in the US; this established ownership provides the latest known operator and home-base association for the airframe. The airframe’s condition and market position are represented by an indicative value of $1,400,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical CJ1 lifecycle considerations. No other registry actions are published beyond its current US registration and ownership record.

This airframe is outfitted in a typical executive CJ1 interior, featuring an executive 5–8 place layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, which supports short- to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter missions. Avionics aboard this variant are typically the Collins Pro Line 21, a common fit for CJ1s that supports business operations requiring modern flight management, navigation and situational awareness. With a cruise speed of 381 kts and a maximum certified ceiling of 41,000 ft, the aircraft is optimized for regional point-to-point missions up to 1,550 nm, often flown from its Fort Myers operational base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with Williams FJ44 engine support and standard CJ1 component cycles; no unique modifications or amenities beyond the documented executive layout are published.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 family occupies the light business jet niche, offering single-pilot capability, efficient twin-engine performance and cost-effective regional range. Competing models in its era include other light-cabin jets that balance speed and operating economics; demand typically comes from owner-operators, small charter operators and light-corporate fleets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2002 airframe focus on engine time, avionics fit like the Collins Pro Line 21, interior condition and the airframe’s documented value of $1,400,000 when benchmarking against contemporaries.
