The airframe configured as a CitationJet 1 typically supports an eight-seat executive cabin layout; for N61SG this implies a compact light-cabin interior suited to short- to medium-range business missions. Avionics fit for the CJ1 in this era commonly centers on Garmin- or Collins-based flight decks tailored to single-pilot or two-pilot operations, enabling efficient point-to-point business travel within the aircraft’s 1,248 nm range and high-speed cruise of 381 kts. Operated from its home base in New Century, KS, US, the aircraft is well suited to regional hops and charter or owner-flown missions between Midwestern business centers and beyond. Maintenance considerations typical to this airframe include regular inspection cycles for the twin Williams FJ44-1A turbofans and lifecycle tracking for components on a 1997 serial airframe.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) family occupies the light business-jet niche, offering single-pilot capability, efficient short-field performance, and a cruise and ceiling profile (here 381 kts, 41,000 ft) competitive with contemporaries. Competing models in its class include early light jets from manufacturers such as Learjet and Embraer, with buyer demand often driven by lower operating costs and useful range for regional missions. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1997-built CJ1 like N61SG center on engine program status for the Williams FJ44-1A units, avionics upgrades, and documented maintenance history to support continued private or charter operations.
