N571LB

This entry covers airframe N571LB, a Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) manufactured by Cessna and completed in 1999 with serial number 525-0339. The aircraft is recorded as owned by 909 AERO LLC (an LLC based in Phoenix, AZ, US) and is operated/registered in the US. Its configuration and operational record reflect a late-1990s CitationJet airframe retained in private LLC ownership; current ownership by 909 AERO LLC is the principal notable registry entry associated with this airframe.

The cabin of N571LB is outfitted to accommodate 8 seats, consistent with typical light business-jet layouts for short- to medium-range missions. With a published range of 1,550 nm and a cruise speed near 389 kts, this airframe is suited for regional point-to-point charters, corporate shuttles, and owner-operated missions from its Phoenix, AZ base. Avionics fit and interior finish for this specific airframe are not published here; maintenance considerations center on standard CJ1 systems and the two Williams FJ44-1A/1AP series engines installed on this serial 525-0339 example. Routine inspections and engine lifecycle management are typical focal points for continued operation under LLC ownership.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business-jet niche for efficient short-to-medium range transport with high cruise speeds and single-pilot capability in many configurations. With a service ceiling of 41,000 ft and the twin Williams FJ44 powerplants delivering 1,965 lbf each, the platform competes with other light jets in charter and owner-operator markets. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1999 airframe emphasize engine hours, avionics upgrades, and interior condition when compared to newer CJ family variants and competitors in the light-jet segment.
