N695PA

This article covers a single airframe, registered as N695PA, a factory-built Cessna CitationJet (Model 525) constructed in 1996 with serial number 525-0158. The airframe is on the US registry and is owned by the corporation PAFFORD AIR OF MISSISSIPPI LLC, based in Ruston, LA, US, which appears as the operating entity on recent records. No publicly recorded changes to the airframe’s registry status or dramatic alterations to configuration are documented in the supplied data; current ownership is corporate and tied to a regional operator. Condition and valuation details for this specific airframe are not published in the provided data.

The cabin of this Cessna CitationJet (Model 525) airframe accommodates up to 8 passengers in a typical light business-jet layout, suitable for short- to medium-haul executive transport and on-demand charter missions. Specific avionics fit and cabin amenities for this serial are not published in the supplied data, so typical Mission Equipment would be inferred from the model line rather than confirmed for this tail number. With a cruise speed of 381 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 41,000 ft, the aircraft is well suited to regional point-to-point missions within its 1,266 nm range from a base such as Ruston, LA, US, allowing direct flights between many city-pair markets without en route fuel stops. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe are governed by model-level service bulletins and inspections for the Williams FJ44 engine series; no single-airframe maintenance history was provided.

The Model 525 CitationJet occupies the light-cabin business-jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speeds and single-pilot operation possibilities in some configurations, appealing to owner-operators, charter operators, and small corporate flight departments. With twin Williams FJ44 engines producing 1,900 lbf each, the type emphasizes efficient cruise and good short-field performance compared with older citation derivatives. Competing models include other light jets in the same era; resale and maintenance considerations typically center on engine time, avionics upgrades, and corrosion or structural inspections for airframes built in the mid-1990s, factors that would directly affect the marketability of N695PA. The US registration and corporate ownership reflect common operator profiles for this class in North American charter and corporate fleets.
