N526DV

This airframe, registered as N526DV, is a 2005 Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 with serial number 525A0226. The aircraft is owned by the corporation AUTOMALL AVIATION LLC, based in Lakeland, FL, US, and is listed on the US registry where it is certified for eight seats. The airframe retains its original 2005 build identity and, per registry details, follows the typical ownership pattern of small corporate operators; no public record of major ownership transfers or incidents is published in the supplied data. Maintenance and operational records are managed by the owner/operator at its home base in Lakeland.

The cabin for this CJ2 is described as a typical CJ2 executive layout accommodating 6–7 passengers in a conventional club/club forward arrangement with belted lav options noted, while registry certification allows up to eight seats. As configured by the owner, missions are consistent with light-citation corporate and on-demand charter work: short-to-mid range business travel within the aircraft’s 1,550 nm radius and high-speed cruise at approximately 410 kts between regional hubs. Based at Lakeland, FL, operator logistics emphasize frequent short sectors across the southeastern U.S. and Gulf Coast, with dispatch and maintenance tailored to the Williams FJ44-2C turbofan engines. The airframe’s certification and small-cabin layout support rapid turnarounds and flexible seating or belted lav configurations depending on passenger requirements.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 occupies the light-corporate jet niche, offering transregional performance with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and efficient Williams FJ44 series propulsion. Competing models in its vintage class include other light jets that prioritize low operating costs and airport flexibility. Buyer and charter demand for CJ2 airframes typically centers on owners seeking economical speed and runway performance; resale and maintenance considerations focus on engine cycles of the Williams FJ44-2C units and avionics upgrades appropriate to 2005-built examples.
