N525PT

This article covers airframe N525PT, a factory-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) delivered in 1996 with serial number 525-0125. The airframe is recorded as owned by Private (Safe Aviation Leasing), a corporate owner noted on registry records; no prior ownership changes are published. The operational operator and home base for this specific airframe are Not published. Notable registry actions and current valuation or condition highlights for this tail are Not published.

Airframe N525PT is configured with the CJ1’s stand-up cabin, approximately 11 ft long, supporting a typical 4–6 place executive club arrangement while capable of up to an 8-passenger layout variant. The installed avionics package for this airframe is recorded in the common fitment family as Rockwell Collins / Pro Line series, though specific retrofit history for this serial is Not published; the series is commonly varied by avionics upgrades over the life of CJ1 airframes. With a cruise speed of 381 kts and range of 1,550 nm, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range business missions and charter hops between regional centers. Maintenance planning for this airframe would typically consider the Williams FJ44-1A turbofan lifecycle items and any avionics retrofit paths when evaluating downtime and parts logistics.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speed and a 41,000 ft service ceiling for its class. Its performance—represented here by 2× Williams FJ44-1A engines and a 1,550 nm range—positions it against other light-cabin business jets where buyer and charter demand favors efficient short-haul capability. Market considerations for this specific 1996 airframe include age-related maintenance and common resale drivers such as engine hours, completeness of avionics retrofits (notably Pro Line series upgrades), and corporate ownership structure, which can influence records and transfer processes.
