N525LX

This entry covers airframe N525LX, a Cessna built airframe of type Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) in 1994, serial number 525-0058. The aircraft is owned by V2 AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Chattanooga, TN, US, and is U.S.-registered. The airframe’s listed market valuation is $1,700,000, and broker materials describe the interior as a typical five-passenger executive arrangement. No additional ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the provided data.

The cabin for this specific airframe is described with a forward single side-facing seat and an aft four-place club seating arrangement, yielding a typical five-passenger executive layout as noted in broker materials; the cabin also includes an enclosed aft lavatory and a forward refreshment center. Avionics fit for N525LX comprises a Honeywell SPZ-5000 EFIS/IFGS suite, Dual GTN-750 Com/Nav/GPS (Jettech STC reported), Dual GTX-330ES ADS-B Out transponders, Garmin GDL-69A XM & weather, Garmin FlightStream 210, and a Bendix/King KN-63 DME. Typical missions for this CJ1 configuration include short- to mid-range corporate or owner-flown trips within the aircraft’s 1,300 nm range and its 41,000 ft operational ceiling; cruise speed capability supports swift point-to-point regional operations. Maintenance and equipment considerations for this airframe include the dated manufacture year (1994) relative to modern avionics baselines, although the listed avionics upgrades mitigate some obsolescence.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light-business-jet niche, offering economical twin-engine performance with low-hour operating costs relative to larger Citation types. Competing models in this segment include early-model Eclipse and Phenom-class aircraft and other light jets; the CJ1’s combination of a 381 kt cruise and a 1,300 nm range makes it attractive for owner-operators and small charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on airframe age, engine type—Williams FJ44-1A—and installed avionics; documented avionics enhancements and ADS-B compliance generally support marketability, while the 1994 build year and overall value of $1,700,000 will influence buyer demand and operating economics.
