N717HA

The airframe bearing tail number N717HA is a 2002-built Cessna 525A CitationJet 2 (CJ2), serial 525A0079, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by WORLDWIDE OPTION LLC, a corporate owner based in Lewes, DE, US; the current registration and ownership are noted in public records. The aircraft's published market value is $3,100,000, which reflects its configuration and year of manufacture. No other historic registry actions or prior operators are published in the provided data.

The cabin of this specific CJ2 is outfitted as an executive 7-place layout with a forward four-place club configuration, dual aft forward-facing seats, and an aft belted flushing lavatory; a forward refreshment center is installed for inflight service. The avionics suite installed on this airframe centers on a Collins ProLine 21 integrated flight deck augmented by dual Garmin 530 WAAS/LPV units, a Garmin GI-275 standby MFD, dual Garmin 330ES transponders, a Universal 1L FMS, and safety sensors including a Collins ALT-4000 radar altimeter, Collins RTA-800 color weather radar, Honeywell Mark VIII EGPWS, and BFGoodrich Skywatch HP TCAS I. Typical missions for this airframe would leverage its 1,550 nm range and 410 kt cruise for short- to mid-range executive transport and light charter operations from its corporate base in Lewes, DE, US. Maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by the twin Williams FJ44-2C engines and the ProLine 21 avionics baseline, which may affect parts availability and avionics upgrade paths.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet 2 (CJ2) occupies the light-cabin, entry-level business jet niche with performance focused on short field access and efficient cruise for regional missions. Competitors in this segment are other light jets offering similar cruise speeds and ranges; buyers often prioritize operator economics, dispatch reliability, and cabin layout. For resale and upkeep, the CJ2’s twin Williams FJ44-2C engines and ProLine 21 avionics are key value drivers, and the documented executive interior contributes to retained market value near the stated $3,100,000 figure. Maintenance, avionics modernization, and interior condition will be principal considerations for prospective purchasers or charter operators.
