N648HE

This entry covers airframe N648HE, a 1997-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) with serial 525-0219. The aircraft is listed as owned by ROCKET AIR LLC (an LLC based in Carson City, NV, US) and carries United States registration. Manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation), this specific CJ1 example is reflected in contemporary valuation estimates at $1,700,000. Registered to ROCKET AIR LLC in Carson City, NV, the airframe’s public particulars focus on its age, configuration and market valuation.

The cabin for this airframe follows the CJ1 executive arrangement, typically an 5–8 place layout with a forward galley and belted aft lavatory, presented as an operator-specific configuration for N648HE. Typical avionics fit for CJ1 upgrades commonly installed on examples like this one is the Collins Pro Line 21, supporting executive short- to mid-range operations from its base in Carson City. With a cruise speed of 381 kts and range near 1,300 nm, the aircraft is suited to point-to-point executive missions within continental distances; its twin Williams FJ44-1A engines provide the thrust common to CJ1 performance envelopes. Maintenance and outfitting for this specific airframe align with light-jet executive standards and the common upgrade paths associated with the CitationJet line.

The airframe belongs to the Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) family produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and occupies the light, entry-level business jet niche consistent with its eight-seat executive cabin and performance figures. With a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft, a cruise near 381 kts and usable range around 1,300 nm, the model is positioned for short- to medium-range executive operations. Market considerations for an airframe like N648HE include its 1997 manufacture date, serial 525-0219, the installed engines (Williams FJ44-1A) and avionics upgrade potential such as Collins Pro Line 21, all factors that influence maintenance planning and resale valuation around the stated $1,700,000.
