Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N5298X, is a 2001-built Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 with serial number 525-0440. The aircraft is owned by LAWTX TRAVEL LLC, a corporation based in Houston, TX, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe is powered by twin Williams turbofan engines and retains an executive eight-place interior; its listed market valuation is $1,700,000. Registry records show standard ownership registration actions consistent with corporate operation and U.S. registration, and the aircraft’s documented condition and valuation reflect typical economy-of-age considerations for early-2000s light business jets.
The aircraft is configured with an 8-place executive layout and is certificated for seating listed as 8, suitable for short- to medium-range corporate missions. Typical operation profiles for this airframe emphasize speed and modest transcontinental capability within its 1,300 nm range and cruise of 381 kts, supporting point-to-point travel from a Houston operational base. The twin Williams FJ44-1A engines, each rated at 1,900 lbf, provide performance consistent with the CJ1’s design cruise and ceiling envelope up to 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its corporate ownership model and common light-jet upkeep cycles; detailed avionics fit and interior amenities beyond the certificated seating count are not published.
As a Cessna 525 Citation CJ1, serial 525-0440, this aircraft represents the light, fixed-wing multi-engine segment within Cessna (Textron Aviation)’s product line. The documented performance figures—381 kts cruise, 1,300 nm range, and 41,000 ft ceiling—define its operational niche for short to medium business trips and corporate shuttle duties. The noted valuation of $1,700,000 provides a market reference point for residual value and resale considerations specific to early-2000s CJ1 airframes. Maintenance, parts availability, and market demand for corporate-registered examples such as LAWTX TRAVEL LLC’s aircraft factor into operational cost and resale outlook.
