N525MR

The airframe bearing registration N525MR is a 2003-built Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 (CitationJet CJ2), serial number 525A0173. It is owned by JMO AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Fredericksburg, Texas, USA, and is registered in the United States. The airframe has been marketed with an updated Garmin integrated panel featuring a GDL-60 LTE datalink on a recent broker listing, and the listed market value for this specific airframe is $3,022,439. The aircraft’s configuration and avionics are noted to potentially vary from original delivery, reflecting owner-specific upgrades and typical CJ2 refits.

The cabin of N525MR is typically outfitted as a six-place executive center‑club with forward/right‑facing seats and a belted lavatory seat option; the registry allows a maximum of 8 seats. Avionics on this airframe have been reported to include a recent Garmin integrated panel upgrade with a GDL-60 LTE datalink on a broker listing, though original CJ2 examples commonly carried Pro Line 21 suites and individual examples may differ. Operationally the CJ2 airframe is suited to short to mid-range corporate and on-demand charter missions, routinely flying routes within its approximately 1,550 nm range at cruise speeds near 413 kts and operating to mid‑altitude flight levels up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations follow the typical light-jet regime for Williams FJ44-equipped Citations, with component and avionics upgrade paths influencing dispatch reliability and resale condition.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 occupies the light-cabin, short-to-medium range business jet niche, offering higher cruise speed and range than entry-level Very Light Jets while retaining single-pilot capability in many configurations. Its direct competitors include light jets with similar mission profiles; buyer and charter demand typically favors examples with modern avionics upgrades and well-documented maintenance histories. For this particular airframe, the reported Garmin panel upgrade and known US corporate ownership are positive factors for operational flexibility and marketability, while age- and component-life considerations typical of 2003-built jets remain relevant for prospective buyers and operators.
