N700CJ

This entry covers a specific airframe, tail number N700CJ, a 1993-built airframe of the Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 family carrying serial 525-0027. The airframe is recorded in U.S. civil registry and is owned by the Portland-based corporation BRUUN AIRCRAFT LLC, which is listed as the operator/home base in Portland, OR, US. Acquired into BRUUN AIRCRAFT LLC's fleet as a corporate light business jet, the airframe is noted in registry records as U.S.-registered and is assigned a current market valuation of $1,900,000, indicative of its maintained status for continued light jet operations.

The airframe configured as a Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 with 8 passenger seats is typically employed on short- to mid-range corporate missions consistent with its 1,248 nm ferry range and high-speed cruise of 381 kts. Based on the registered owner’s location, routine operations and maintenance oversight are centered on Portland, Oregon; the operator profile suggests usage for business charter, owner-flown travel, and regional point-to-point trips along the U.S. West Coast and interior routes. Cabin layout on this model is compact and efficiently arranged for up to eight occupants, and operational considerations for this specific airframe include the two Williams FJ44-1A turbofans that define its performance and maintenance cycles.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 sits in the light business jet niche, offering a balance of speed, low operating cost, and runway performance suitable for smaller airports. With a maximum operating ceiling of 41,000 ft and cruise near 381 kts, this airframe competes with contemporaries in the light-jet segment where buyer and charter demand focuses on operational economy and simple systems. Resale and maintenance considerations for serial 525-0027 reflect typical fleet-level support for Williams FJ44-powered CitationJets and the market valuation of $1,900,000 signals a maintained example positioned for continued corporate or charter operation.
