N535JF

This airframe, N535JF, is a 2007-built Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 bearing serial number 525A0349. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by ARIEL LEASING LLC, based in Rapid City, SD, US. Registry information records the airframe as a U.S.-registered fixed-wing multi-engine business jet; no other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data. As of the provided valuation, the airframe is assigned a market value of $3,500,000, reflecting its configuration, year of manufacture and standard mission capability for the type.

The cabin in this specific CJ2 is fitted in a typical 6–8-place executive layout with center-club seating, a forward refreshment center and an aft belted lavatory available, providing a conventional short-to-medium range executive interior for up to 8 occupants. With a cruise speed of 415 kts and a range of 1,613 nm, the airframe is configured for point-to-point business missions and charter sectors within continental distances, supporting high-utilization day-trip and regional schedules out of its owner/operator base in Rapid City, SD, US. The twin Williams FJ44-3A-24 turbofans each produce 2,490 lbf of thrust, a factor that drives climb and cruise performance as well as maintenance inspection intervals tied to the engine model. As a U.S.-registered fixed-wing multi-engine category aircraft, routine maintenance and part support follow standard practices for the Citation 525A sub-type.

This entry is a member of the Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 family, a light business jet type positioned for short- to mid-range executive transport, combining moderate cruise speed and transcontinental-approach ceiling capability (45,000 ft). The eight-place typical cabin and the aircraft’s 1,613 nm range define its operational niche for corporate, charter and leasing operators seeking regional flexibility. Valuation at $3,500,000 reflects age (2007), mission capability, and installed powerplants; these factors also influence maintenance scheduling and resale considerations unique to the airframe serial 525A0349.
