N525NV

This entry covers airframe N525NV, a Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 built in 1994 with serial number 525-0072. The aircraft is a factory-built Cessna (Textron Aviation) small-cabin business jet currently registered in the US and owned by BEERS INVESTMENT GROUP TOYS LLC of Saint Petersburg, FL, US. Available registry data and valuation indicate a mature airframe in the mid-life market with an assessed value of $1,700,000, reflecting age, systems fit, and typical wear for a 1994 Citation CJ1. No additional operators, unique registry actions, or notable incidents are published beyond the current LLC ownership and standard U.S. registration.

The cabin is fitted in an executive five-passenger configuration with a forward left refreshment center and a flushing aft lavatory, plus dual executive writing tables providing a business-oriented interior layout. Avionics in this specific airframe include dual Garmin GTN 750 WAAS/LPV units, dual Garmin GTX 33ES transponders, Garmin GDL-69 XM capability, Bendix RDR-2000 VP weather radar, Sperry SPZ-5000 AFCS, Honeywell KRA-405 radar altimeter, and a Fairchild GA-2100 cockpit voice recorder, supporting IFR and corporate mission profiles. Typical operations would include short-to-medium range corporate transport and on-demand charter within the aircraft’s 1,248 nm range and high-speed cruise capability, operating from the owner’s Saint Petersburg, Florida base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect standard CJ1 airframe and engine cycles, with avionics modernized to Garmin navigation and surveillance standards.

The Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 occupies the light-cabin, entry-level jet niche within Textron’s Citation family, valued for low operating costs and ability to operate from shorter runways compared with larger business jets. With twin Williams FJ44-1A engines producing 1,900 lbf each and a 41,000 ft service ceiling, the type competes with early-model Embraer Phenom 100s and similar light jets in owner-operated or fractional/charter fleets. Market demand for older CJ1s centers on cost-conscious buyers seeking reliable short-range capability; resale considerations for N525NV are influenced by its avionics fit, interior condition, and the assessed $1,700,000 valuation relative to maintenance status and avionics upgrades.
