N525LP

This airframe, registered as N525LP, is a 1997-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) with serial number 525-0196. The listed owner is the corporation TEAM FINANCIAL INC, based in Birmingham, AL, US, and the aircraft carries a US registration. Registry-specific actions and valuation records for this airframe are not published in the provided data; ownership is documented to a corporate entity in Birmingham, Alabama.

The aircraft is outfitted in a typical executive cabin for the CJ1 class, described as a 6–8 place executive layout with a forward galley and an aft belted lavatory; executive interior variations are common and may be present on this airframe. Avionics fit for CJ1 installations is commonly the Collins Pro Line 21, though retrofit and dealer upgrades can produce variations from the typical installation cited for this model. Operationally, the CitationJet CJ1 platform is routinely employed on short to mid-range corporate missions and charter hops within continental US, matching the listed 1,475 nm range and cruise speed of 381 kts; as a corporate-registered asset in Birmingham, AL, US, it would be well suited to regional executive transport and point-to-point business travel. Maintenance considerations follow standard light-jet practices for twin FJ44-powered airframes, with attention to engine hot-section inspections and avionics retrofits when owners elect to upgrade older Pro Line 21 suites.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light-cabin, short-to-medium-range business jet niche, offering efficient twin Williams FJ44 propulsion and low operating costs relative to larger cabin types. Competing models in the same sector include early Learjet 31/45 variants and Embraer Phenom 100 series aircraft, though the CJ1’s combination of cruise speed near 381 kts and a 41,000 ft ceiling keeps it competitive for owner-operators and small corporate flight departments. Buyer and charter demand for older CJ1s typically centers on lifecycle maintenance status, avionics retrofits (frequently to modernize Pro Line 21 installations), and the airframe’s interior condition; these factors drive resale value considerations for a corporate-registered airframe such as N525LP.
