N525RF

This article describes airframe N525RF, a factory-built Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2+ delivered in 2006 with serial number 525A0327. The airframe is registered in the US and held by 525RF LLC, an LLC based in Williamsburg, VA, US, which appears as the recorded owner on the registration. The aircraft is a production CJ2+ example equipped to the common specification for the sub-compact light-jet market; its indicated market valuation for this airframe is $4,200,000. The registration and ownership record identifies this airframe as an LLC-operated corporate asset based in Williamsburg, Virginia.

The cabin in this specific CJ2+ airframe is arranged to a typical executive layout accommodating six to eight passengers, with a common fit of 6-place club seating and the possibility of a belted lav seat for an additional belted occupant. Avionics fit on this example follows the common CJ2+ installation of Collins Pro Line 21, providing integrated flight management, communication, and navigation systems consistent with the series. Operationally, the combination of an 8-seat executive cabin, 1,194 nm range and 413 kt cruise speed positions this airframe for short-to-medium intercity corporate hops and owner/operator missions originating from its recorded base in Williamsburg, VA. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow CJ2+ fleet norms, driven by twin Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines and avionics-commonality that affect logbook conformity and systems support.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2+ occupies the light business jet niche between very light jets and larger midsize cabin types, offering relatively high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient point-to-point operations. Competing models in this class typically include other light-to-light-plus jets that prioritize single-pilot capability and low per-seat operating costs; buyer and charter demand for CJ2+ examples often reflects their blend of performance, compact cabin, and proven airframe systems. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine time, avionics condition—here the Collins Pro Line 21 fit—and the documented ownership and registration status under 525RF LLC, all factors that inform market valuation around $4.2 million.
