N600GK

This entry concerns the specific airframe registered as N600GK, a 1998-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) with serial number 525-0297. The airframe is owned by Aerospace Trust Management LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, DE, US, which is recorded as the proprietor and administrative contact; no other prior ownership transfers or operational leases are documented in the supplied data. The aircraft is U.S.-registered and carries a light-cabin executive configuration typical of early CitationJet deliveries. No notable registry actions beyond standard registration and the current ownership record are published; current valuation is listed at $1,600,000, reflecting its age and configuration.

The airframe is fitted in an 8-seat light-cabin executive layout typical of the CJ1 series, commonly arranged in a club seating pattern for business transport and short-range charter. Avionics fit for this specific aircraft are not published in the provided data; however, the CJ1 airframe is typically equipped for single-pilot or two-pilot operation in Part 135 or corporate use, supporting point-to-point missions in the 1,500–1,600 nm class. Typical missions for this installation would include regional corporate hops, on-demand charter work, and private transport between primary business hubs, with operational ceilings up to 41,000 ft enhancing fuel-efficient cruise profiles. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow standard Textron/Cessna schedules for the CitationJet family and the Williams FJ44-1A engines, with any specific maintenance history not disclosed in the supplied dataset.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche, offering moderate range and high cruise speed for short- to mid-range missions. Competing models in the same market segment include early-generation Embraer and Learjet light jets; buyer and charter demand for late-1990s CJ1 examples is influenced by airframe hours, avionics upgrades, and engine cycles. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on the condition of the Williams FJ44-1A engines and the presence of modern avionics retrofits, factors that would materially affect the listed valuation of $1,600,000.
