N525JW

This entry documents airframe N525JW, a Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) built in 1996 with serial number 525-0162. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by WASHINGTON ROAD PROPERTIES LEVEL 2 LLC, an LLC based in Highlands, NC, US; the listing reflects the current ownership and operator/home base association. The airframe is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is appraised at $1,800,000, with that valuation noting its overall condition and market placement for its model year. Any notable registry actions are reflected in the ownership record and current registration status.

The cabin of N525JW is configured for 8 seats, indicative of the light business jet layout typical for the CitationJet family and optimized for short to medium-length corporate missions. Operated from its owner’s base in Highlands, NC, US, the aircraft’s 1,300 nm range and 385 kts cruise allow efficient point-to-point regional travel and typical executive transport duties. Avionics fit, cabin furnishings, and specific interior amenities for this airframe are recorded in the owner’s maintenance and equipment logs; such details inform mission planning, maintenance cycles, and passenger comfort expectations. Regular maintenance considerations center on sustaining performance of the Williams FJ44 engines and preserving the valuation reflected in the $1,800,000 estimate.

As a Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) from 1996, N525JW belongs to a family positioned in the light business jet segment, offering a balance of operating economy and point-to-point speed suitable for owner-operators and small charter operations. With a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft and cruise of 385 kts, the type competes in its era against other light jets targeting short- to mid-range missions; market demand and resale value are influenced by engine time on the Williams FJ44 series and overall maintenance history. The recorded valuation of $1,800,000 reflects age, configuration, and prevailing market conditions for late-1990s CJ1 airframes, factors important to prospective buyers and operators assessing operating cost and residual value.
