N600AL

The airframe bearing registration N600AL is a Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 built in 2000, serial number 525-0383. This specific jet is owned and operated by SHOBERS EQUIPMENT LLC, an LLC based in Bedford, Pennsylvania, registered in the US. Registry records indicate sustained private ownership under the single listed LLC and a current market valuation of $1,900,000. As a 2000-build CJ1, the airframe reflects early-generation Williams FJ44-powered light business jet characteristics and will typically present age-related maintenance and component replacement considerations consistent with airframes of its vintage.

The cabin of this eight-seat Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 is configured for short to medium-range executive transport; with a maximum range of 1,266 nm and cruise speed near 381 kts, typical missions for N600AL would include regional point-to-point flights within the continental US from its Bedford, PA base. Operator SHOBERS EQUIPMENT LLC maintains the aircraft under private ownership, and operational planning will emphasize center-to-center hops and corporate travel profiles. Given the twin Williams FJ44 engines rated at 1,900 lbf each and the airframe’s 2000 manufacture date, maintenance cycles, life-limited parts, and avionics obsolescence are likely focal areas for continued airworthiness management specific to this aircraft.

The Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 family occupies the light business jet niche, offering owner-operators and charter operators efficient short-field capability with jet performance at lower acquisition cost relative to midsize models. With a cruise of 381 kts, ceiling of 41,000 ft, and eight-passenger seating, the model competes with other light jets in its class on operating economics and runway flexibility. Market demand for a 2000-built CJ1 such as N600AL is driven by buyers seeking cost-effective entry-level business jets; resale and maintenance considerations include the condition of the Williams FJ44 engines, installed avionics, and completion of scheduled inspections consistent with its age.
