N626CV

The airframe bearing tail number N626CV is a 2006 build of the Cessna 525 Citation CJ1+, serial 525-0626, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). It is recorded as owned by CVI AIRCRAFT LEASING LLC, an LLC based in Coldwater, MI, US, which serves as its apparent operator/home base for registry purposes. The airframe is presented in typical used-condition valuation listings at approximately $2,000,000, reflecting its age, avionics fit and CJ1+ configuration. No additional registry transactions or notable incident history are provided in the source data for this specific airframe.

The aircraft is equipped in a typical executive interior configured for 7–8 passengers featuring club seating, a small galley and an enclosed lavatory with the option of a belted lavatory seat; this layout supports common light-cabin business missions. Avionics aboard the type are commonly the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, which is the standard fit for the CJ1+ and supports mixed IFR charter and owner-operator operations. With a cruise speed of 389 kts and a range of 1,245 nm, the airplane is routinely deployed on short to mid‑range corporate hops, air-taxi sectors and regional repositioning flights from its documented base in Coldwater, MI, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will follow CJ1+ program schedules given its twin Williams FJ44-1AP engines and typical corporate interior systems.

The Cessna 525 Citation CJ1+ occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business jet niche where buyers value low operating costs, good runway performance and single-pilot capability. Competitors in the segment include other light jets offering similar mission profiles. The CJ1+’s combination of the Pro Line 21 avionics, Williams FJ44-1AP engines and a cruise of 389 kts keeps demand steady in the used market for owner-operators and fractional/charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will reflect its 2006 manufacture date and installed avionics package, factors that influence lifecycle component cycles and valuation around the listed $2,000,000 mark.
