N525RK

The airframe bearing tail number N525RK is a 2001-built Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1, serial number 525-0413, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by WEST CHESTER PERMIT LLC, an LLC based in Cincinnati, OH, US, reflecting a single identifiable ownership entity in the public data. Its listed market valuation is $1,700,000, which frames its condition and resale positioning among early-2000s light business jets. No additional registry encumbrances or transfers are published in the supplied data.

This airframe typically features a cabin in a standard executive configuration, described as a 5–8 place layout with a forward galley and an optional belted lavatory, consistent with the factory and aftermarket completions for the model. The aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short-to-medium-haul executive transport, capable of regional U.S. flights from its owner’s base in Cincinnati, OH, US, operating within its 1,300 nm range at cruise speeds near 381 kts and at flight levels up to 41,000 ft. Specific avionics fit and maintenance status for this registration are not published in the provided data; regular attention to the Williams FJ44 engine family and airframe age-related inspections would be typical considerations for continued operation.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light business jet niche, offering single-pilot capability in many configurations and efficient twin Williams FJ44 propulsion for its class. Competing models in the same era include other light jets optimized for regional corporate missions. Given its 2001 build year and the stated valuation of $1,700,000, resale and charter demand will hinge on completion condition, avionics fit, and engine time; maintenance cycles and component life limits for the FJ44 series are key factors in marketability and operational cost planning.
