N545RW

This entry covers airframe N545RW, a 1996-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1), serial number 525-0141, registered in the United States. The airframe is registered to NEGATIVE CONTACT LLC, an LLC based in Albuquerque, NM, US, and the registry lists a capacity of up to eight seats; broker material reports an executive six-passenger layout. Notable registry and listing details include the combination of the official registry seating allowance and a broker-reported executive interior; current listed value is $1,550,000. The aircraft is a fixed-wing, multi-engine business jet in typical light-citation service.

The cabin for this specific airframe is reported by a broker as an executive six-passenger layout (four-place club, forward side-facing seat and belted lavatory) while the official registry records up to 8 seats, reflecting a common variance between fitted interiors and maximum certified seating. Avionics reported for this airframe include dual Garmin G600TXi primary flight displays, dual Garmin GTN-750Xi NAV/COMs, a Garmin GFC-600 autopilot, GTX-345R transponder, GDL-69 XM/Weather capability and a Bendix RDR-2000 weather radar as listed by the broker. Typical mission profiles for this CJ1 airframe would be short- to mid-range executive transport within its 1,248 nm range and high-speed cruise around 323 kts, operating from regional bases consistent with the owner’s Albuquerque, NM location. Maintenance and operational considerations follow light-jet norms for twin Williams FJ44 engines and avionics upgrades commonly noted in broker listings.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche, offering single-pilot capability, efficient Williams FJ44 powerplants and airport flexibility compared to larger citations. Competing models in this class include early variants of the Embraer Phenom 100 and the Eclipse 500 family, with buyer demand often driven by operating cost, runway performance and interior configuration. For this specific airframe, resale and maintenance considerations reflect its 1996 build year and the installed avionics suite; the combination of modern Garmin displays and retained certified seating capacity can aid marketability, while engine and airframe hours, which are not published here, would be primary determinants for long-term value retention.
