N57EC

This entry covers the airframe bearing registration N57EC, a 2001-build Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) with manufacturer serial number 525-0460. The aircraft is recorded as owned by SARATOGA HOMES OF TEXAS SAN ANTONIO LLC, a limited liability company based in El Paso, TX, US, reflecting a corporate ownership model rather than individual private ownership. Registration is under the US registry; no public record of other operators or prior registry actions is provided in the supplied data. Condition and valuation details are not published for this specific airframe in the supplied data.

The airframe is fitted with the standard CJ1 8-place executive layout, which is the configured cabin arrangement for this model as supplied. As owned by an El Paso–based LLC, the aircraft’s likely operational basing or primary operator activity would be centered in El Paso, TX, although specific operator flight logs, typical routing, and utilization rates are not published in the available data. The CJ1’s cabin in this installation supports short to mid-range executive missions within the aircraft’s 1,248 nm range and is suitable for business travel requiring higher cruise speeds up to 324 kts. Details on avionics fit, specific interior amenities, and maintenance records for this serial number are not published in the supplied information.

The airframe is a member of the Cessna (Textron Aviation) CitationJet family, specifically the Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1), powered by two Williams FJ44-1A engines producing 1,900 lbf each, placing it in the light business jet niche focused on cost-efficient short to medium-range executive transport. Typical competitors for aircraft of this class include other early 2000s light jets offering similar seating and mission profiles. Buyers and charter operators consider CJ1 examples for their favorable cruise speeds and single-pilot certification opportunity, while resale and maintenance considerations hinge on component life-limited parts and engine cycles for the Williams FJ44-1A, details of which are not published for this specific serial number.
