N525LM

This entry concerns airframe N525LM, a 2001-built Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 bearing serial number 525-0427. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation CTH RENTALS LLC of Halls, TN, US, which appears as the operator/home base for this airframe in registry records. No other ownership transitions or notable registry encumbrances are published in the supplied data. Valuation references indicate a market value of $1,700,000, consistent with late-model CJ1 examples offered in broker listings with varying avionics and interior configurations.

The cabin of N525LM is fitted in a typical light-jet executive arrangement with a 4-place double club configuration, forward refreshment center, belted aft lavatory and executive tables, supporting short- to mid-range corporate or rental charter missions. Avionics on this airframe are reported as Collins Pro Line 21 (3-tube) with Universal UNS-1K FMS and common Garmin GTN-style upgrades noted in broker listings, permitting conventional IFR operations and modern navigation/FMS capability for regional flights. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include single-visit corporate trips and point-to-point regional charters within the aircraft’s 1,300 nm range and high-cruise capability; maintenance considerations align with light twin turbofan practice for Williams FJ44-series engines and Pro Line avionics support.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 family occupies the light business jet niche, offering efficient short-field performance and high cruise speeds relative to piston or turboprop alternatives. Competing models in its era include other entry-level light jets; buyer and charter demand historically favors well-equipped, lower-time airframes with avionics upgrades—features reflected in broker listings for this CJ1. Resale and maintenance considerations for N525LM hinge on engine hours, Pro Line avionics supportability, and the commonality of cabin appointments such as the 4-place double club and aft lavatory in the light-jet market.
