N585EP

The airframe registered as N585EP is a 2007-built Cessna 525A CitationJet 2 (CJ2) with serial number 525A0346, completed by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). It is owned by the corporate entity SONGBIRD LLC, based in Bloomfield Hills, MI, US, and bears a United States registration. The airframe is fitted out in a configuration typical of late-production CJ2 examples and is noted as an upgrade candidate for a modern avionics suite, reflecting common mid-life refurbishment considerations for aircraft of its vintage.

The cabin of this Cessna 525A CitationJet 2 (CJ2) airframe accommodates 8 passengers in a light business jet layout appropriate for short- to mid-range executive transport missions. Avionics are noted as the Collins Pro Line 21 installation in the common CJ2 configuration, a system frequently retained or targeted for upgrades to extend operational capability. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include regional point-to-point flights within its 1,550 nm range at cruise speeds near 402 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Bloomfield Hills, MI and similar metropolitan hubs. Maintenance planning for this specific airframe would follow CJ2 line items for the twin Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines and airframe life-cycle inspections, with avionics modernization a likely capital consideration.

This individual 2007 Cessna 525A CitationJet 2 (CJ2) sits within the light jet sector as a performance-focused, twin-engine business aircraft delivering transregional speed and altitude capability up to 45,000 ft. With twin Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines producing 2,490 lbf each, the platform emphasizes efficient cruise performance and rapid climb, supporting diverse operator needs from corporate shuttle to ad hoc charter. Market considerations for this airframe center on mid-life refurbishment choices—particularly avionics upgrades from the existing Collins Pro Line 21—and routine engine and airframe maintenance that influence resale and operational cost profiles.
