N618WP

The airframe bearing registration N618WP is a 2007 Cessna-built light business jet, model Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+, serial number 525A0342, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation Inc.). The airframe is recorded as owned by TIM SHORT CHRYSLERLLC, an LLC based in Hazard, KY, US, and operates on a United States registration. The aircraft’s registry and transactional history note the movement into an LLC ownership structure, reflecting a private/operator arrangement typical for owner-operators and small charter providers. Valuation records list the airframe at $4,100,000, with condition and equipment levels consistent with a well-equipped 2007 CJ2+.

The specific cabin fit for this airframe is a seven-passenger center-club arrangement with a forward side-facing seat, complemented by a belted flushing lavatory seat and dual executive tables, supporting typical corporate or owner-operator missions. Avionics installed include a Collins Pro Line 21 suite with FMC-3000 and WAAS/LPV capability, a Collins communications and navigation suite, Landmark TAWS 8000 terrain awareness, and TCAS I traffic advisory, enabling modern IFR capability and enhanced situational awareness. With a maximum cruise around 402 kts and a mission range near 1,585 nm, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range point-to-point operations, regional hops and light charter duties from its base in Hazard, Kentucky, or surrounding regional airports. Maintenance considerations for this airframe will follow CJ2+ schedules and remain influenced by installed avionics and engine type.

As a member of the Citation CJ family, the Cessna 525A Citation CJ2+ occupies the light-cabin, short- to medium-range turbofan niche, offering higher cruise speed and improved avionics relative to previous CJ variants. Competing models in this class include other single-pilot-capable light jets with similar ranges and cabin capacities; buyer and charter demand typically favors examples with WAAS/LPV-capable FMS and TCAS, both present on this airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect the Williams FJ44 series engines’ widespread support and the Pro Line 21 avionics’ favorable impact on marketability, while the recorded ownership by an LLC and documented value of $4,100,000 are relevant factors for prospective buyers and operators assessing lifecycle costs.
