N54HC

This entry covers airframe N54HC, a 1996-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1), serial number 525-0157. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by THREE BEARS AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Prineville, OR, US, which is the current operator/home base listed in registry material. The aircraft retains its original CJ1 series configuration and powerplant installation and is recorded in broker/airframe listings with an executive interior and avionics fit typical of mid-1990s light business jets. No additional registry actions or prior ownership transfers are published beyond the current LLC ownership in the supplied data.

The cabin of N54HC is an executive 6-place layout as listed in the broker/airframe listing: 1 forward side-facing, four-place club, and 1 aft belted lavatory, providing a combination of forward-facing seating and a club arrangement for passenger interaction. Avionics reported for this airframe include a Honeywell 2-tube EFIS, Honeywell SPZ-5000 autopilot, dual Garmin GTN 750 units per broker listing, TCAS-I and GTX transponder(s), supporting typical single-pilot or two-pilot business operations of the CJ1. With an effective cruise of 389 kts and a practical range of 1,300 nm, missions for this aircraft type are concentrated on short to mid-range executive transport, business shuttle flights and owner-operator use from its base in Prineville, OR, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe are driven by the Williams FJ44-1A engines and avionics suite configuration as recorded in sale and broker documentation.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) family, positioned as a light business jet offering high cruise speed, modest transcontinental range and efficient twin-fan turbofan powerplants; this specific aircraft combines Williams FJ44-1A engines with an executive interior. Given its seating for 8, a 41,000 ft ceiling and modernized panel elements listed in broker data, the airframe occupies a niche for owner-operators and small charter operators seeking fast point-to-point capability on short to medium sectors. Resale and maintenance considerations for this CJ1 center on engine program availability, avionics upgrades (notably the mix of Honeywell EFIS and Garmin GTN 750s) and interior condition as documented in the broker listing for this serial-numbered airframe.
