N525XD

This entry covers airframe N525XD, a 1999-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) with serial number 525-0335. The jet is recorded as owned by OUTER REEF LLC, an LLC based in Bend, OR, US, and is registered in the US. Registry activity for this airframe reflects its corporate ownership and continued operation in the fixed-wing multi-engine category; no other ownership transfers are published in the supplied data. The aircraft is appraised at $1,800,000, a figure that frames its market status and condition assumptions in secondary-market analyses.

The cabin of N525XD is configured for up to 8 seats, consistent with light business jet layouts used for short- to medium-range executive transport. Typical missions for this airframe, given its 1,550 nm range and 389 kt cruise speed, include regional point-to-point flights and business charters within the continental United States, operating from its owner’s base in Bend, OR, US as organizational travel or on-demand charter support. Avionics fit and interior finish specifics are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the twin Williams FJ44 engine family and airframe systems typical to early CJ1 production examples.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light-jet niche, emphasizing low operating costs and compact, efficient performance for owner-operators and charter operators. Equipped with two Williams FJ44 engines producing 1,900 lbf each, the type competes with other light-cabin business jets for short-haul missions and owner-piloted operations. Market demand for late-1990s CJ1s like N525XD is influenced by maintenance history, upgrades, and total time; the supplied valuation of $1,800,000 positions this airframe within the used-light-jet resale band where engine status and avionics retrofits are key resale and maintenance considerations.
