N585MC

This entry covers airframe N585MC, a 2001-built Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 with serial number 525-0452, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is owned by Trego-Dugan Aviation, Inc., a corporate owner based in Grand Island, NE, United States, and is registered in the US. The recorded details emphasize its corporate single-owner listing and standard business-jet configuration; no other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are provided.

The cabin of N585MC is fitted in a six-passenger executive club layout featuring a forward refreshment center and an aft belted flushing toilet, reflecting a conventional light-citation executive interior for short-to-medium corporate missions. Avionics fit is listed as Collins Pro Line 21 (as-equipped / listing), supporting modern navigation and flight management capabilities appropriate to its class and era. Operated from a base associated with its owner in Grand Island, NE, the aircraft’s stated range and cruise speed align it for regional business travel and charter missions connecting mid-continent city pairs; routine operations would typically emphasize short sector turnarounds and cost-effective single-pilot or two-pilot corporate use. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe include standard support for the Williams FJ44-1A engines and avionics common to Pro Line 21-equipped Citations, though detailed maintenance history is not published.

The Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 occupies the light-corporate jet niche, offering compact cabin comfort with trans-regional capability as reflected by N585MC’s 1,248 nm range and 41,000 ft ceiling. In the marketplace this model competes with other entry-level light jets for owner-operators and charter operators seeking lower operating costs while retaining turbofan performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine program status for the Williams FJ44-1A engines and the condition of Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, both factors that materially affect demand and operational readiness.
