The airframe bearing tail number N59BS is a 1996-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1), serial 525-0169, shown on registry as a United States-registered fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. The airframe is registered to SLX AIR LLC, a limited liability company based in Waxhaw, NC, US, which operates or owns the example listed. No other ownership transfers are recorded in the provided data; current valuation for this specific listed configuration is $1,490,000 and the aircraft is presented in executive configuration with a belted aft lavatory. Notable registry actions include its maintained U.S. registration and an avionics retrofit profile consistent with enhanced navigation and traffic awareness capabilities.

The listed cabin is an executive layout described as typical 6–8 place club seating with a forward side‑facing seat and a belted aft lavatory, supporting small-group corporate or charter missions. Avionics on this specific aircraft include a Honeywell SPZ-5000 EFIS, Dual Garmin GTN-750 units for comms/nav/MFD capability, Garmin GDL-69A XM weather/data, Honeywell KGP-560 EGPWS, and ADS‑B Out/In via Garmin 345R, providing modern situational awareness and traffic/weather services. With a cruise speed of 381 kts and a range of 1,250 nm, the aircraft is typically suited to short-to-medium haul executive transport, point-to-point regional missions, and light charter work operated from its Waxhaw, NC base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would focus on Williams FJ44-1A engine program compliance and avionics support for the Honeywell and Garmin systems fitted.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) family occupies the light business jet niche prioritizing efficient short-field performance, single-pilot capability potential, and low operating costs relative to larger jets. Competing models in the same segment typically include other small-cabin light jets; buyers often seek examples with upgraded avionics and well-documented maintenance histories. Given this aircraft’s avionics suite and executive interior, resale and charter demand is influenced by avionics modernity and engine program status; the listed value of $1,490,000 reflects its model year, equipment fit, and U.S. registry.
