N57FL

This entry covers airframe N57FL, a 2004-built Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 with manufacturer's serial number 525A0198. The airframe is owned by the corporation AXIS TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC, based in Sacramento, CA, US, and is registered in the US. Registered to AXIS TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LLC in Sacramento, this airframe has been operated in a corporate/charter role consistent with its six-place executive layout. Publicly available registry actions beyond the current ownership and registration are not published.

The cabin of N57FL is fitted in a typical six-place executive club layout, an operator-configurable arrangement that balances passenger comfort and light-cargo flexibility for short to mid-range missions. Avionics fit for CJ2 installations on this airframe is consistent with the Rockwell Collins / Collins Pro Line 21 suite, providing integrated flight management, communications, and navigation capabilities suitable for single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on operator procedures. With a cruise of 410 kts and a range of 1,550 nm, typical missions include regional business travel, time-critical corporate point-to-point flights, and on-demand charter sectors originating from the owner’s Sacramento, California base. Maintenance considerations follow common CJ2 practices for Williams FJ44-series engines and Pro Line 21 avionics support networks.

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 occupies the light-citation niche, offering a blend of short-field capability, low operating cost, and efficient cruise performance for up to six passengers. Its competitors include other light jets in the early-2000s market segment, and demand from buyers and charter operators remains tied to airframe condition, engine cycles, and avionics pedigree such as the Pro Line 21 fit. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on the Williams FJ44 engine maintenance history, avionics upgrades, and the completeness of records for the serial 525A0198, all typical determinants of value and marketability in the used light jet market.
