Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N579TX is a 1994 Cessna 525 CitationJet with manufacturer's serial number 525-0061, built by Cessna (Textron Aviation). This specific jet is owned by LAW OFFICES OF DOUGLAS D KETTERMAN PLLC, a corporate owner based in San Antonio, TX, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. The airframe's documented configuration and equipment reflect standard CJ1-era completions and documented retrofits typical for late-model CitationJets; no separate valuation or recent registry actions beyond the stated corporate ownership are published in the provided data.
The interior for this Cessna 525 is described as a typical 1 + 6 executive layout, represented as a four-place club, a single side-facing seat, and a belted lavatory as commonly furnished in many 525 interiors. Typical CJ1 avionics fits apply to this airframe: Collins Pro Line installations are standard for early CJ1s, with Pro Line 21 on many CJ1 / CJ1+ retrofits reported, matching the avionics environment operators expect for short- to mid-range corporate missions. Based in San Antonio under corporate ownership, the aircraft is suited to point-to-point executive transport, regional hops and business missions within its 1,550 nm range; maintenance considerations align with Williams FJ44-series engine support and common CitationJet airframe servicing cycles.
The Cessna 525 CitationJet occupies the light-cabin, light-twin business jet niche, offering owner-operators and light corporate flight departments a balance of speed and short-field capability within its class. With cruise performance of 323 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, it competes against other light light-jets in demand for short- to medium-range corporate missions. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on Williams FJ44 engine support, avionics retrofit history (notably Pro Line 21 upgrades), and interior condition and configuration—factors that directly influence marketability among buyers seeking compact executive transport.
