N628TM

This entry covers airframe N628TM, a 1993-built Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 bearing serial number 525-0010. The jet is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by FEDAIR LLC, an Indianapolis, Indiana-based limited liability company. The airframe is an early CJ1-series example with a common Collins Pro Line 21 avionics fit and retains original-series performance characteristics. Registration and ownership are noted to have been maintained under FEDAIR LLC in Indianapolis, IN, with no public record here of subsequent operators or major registry actions.

The cabin of N628TM is configured for eight passengers in a light business-jet layout typical of early CitationJet CJ1 examples, emphasizing point-to-point corporate and charter missions. Avionics are listed as the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, a common fit for CJ1-series airframes that supports IFR operations, flight-management procedures, and modern navigation aids for regional routes. Typical missions for this airframe would include short-to-medium range corporate travel or on-demand charter flights within the continental United States, leveraging a cruise speed of 324 knots and a range of 1,248 nm. Based in Indianapolis by owner location, the aircraft’s maintenance considerations align with early-1990s CitationJet systems, Williams FJ44 turbofan support, and standard CJ1 airframe service intervals.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light-jet niche as a compact, efficient business jet introduced for owner-operators and small charter fleets, offering transregional capability with low operating costs relative to larger business jets. Competing models historically include light jets from Embraer and Learjet families; the CJ1’s modest cabin and eight-seat layout target short-haul corporate missions. For resale and maintenance, buyers consider Williams FJ44 engine support and avionics suites like Collins Pro Line 21 when evaluating modernization costs and market desirability for a 1993 serial airframe such as 525-0010.
