N525PL

The airframe bearing registration N525PL is a 1994-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) with manufacturer serial number 525-0043. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as being owned by RMG AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Missoula, MT, US. The airframe is equipped and maintained as an executive light business jet and carries an estimated market value of $1,600,000. Current ownership by RMG AVIATION LLC is the primary recorded operator/home base association for this airframe; no other ownership timeline entries are published in the provided data.

The cabin on this airframe is fitted for executive transport with club seating arranged forward and aft and includes a belted lavatory seat; photographic interior evidence shows four club seats plus an additional belted lav seat. The avionics complement supports modern situational awareness and navigation: Honeywell SPZ-5000 IFCS, Garmin GMX-200 MFD, Universal UNS-1Lw FMS with WAAS capability, Garmin GDL-69 for XM weather, Honeywell KGP-860 EGPWS and L3 Skywatch TCAS. Typical mission profiles for the type and this fitment emphasize short- to mid-range business trips within the aircraft’s approximate 1,300 nm range and high-speed cruise capability; operations would commonly originate from and return to the owner’s Montana base or be operated on charter or corporate point-to-point missions. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would center on turbine engine life cycles and avionics updates consistent with the installed FMS/MFD and safety systems.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) family occupies the light business jet niche, offering efficient short-field access and moderate operating costs relative to midsize jets. With cruise speeds near 389 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, the CJ1 appeals to owner-operators and charter operators seeking fast regional capability up to about 1,300 nm. Competing models in this segment include other entry-level light jets that balance single-pilot capability and lower acquisition cost. Given the airframe’s 1994 build year and the installed avionics suite, resale and maintenance considerations include engine program status for the Williams FJ44-1A powerplants, potential corrosion/avionics modernization, and market demand for executive-configured, well-equipped light jets in the used-aircraft marketplace.
