N726TM

This entry covers airframe N726TM, a 2001-built light business jet, serial number 525-0414, registered in the US. The aircraft was manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation Inc.) and is owned by Alpha Echo Aviation (a corporate owner listed without a public base location). The airframe’s documented identity and factory serial place it within the early-production Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 line, with ownership and registry data indicating corporate operation rather than individual private use. No public valuation or detailed condition history is published in the provided data.

The cabin of this specific airframe follows an approximately six-place executive layout with a forward side-facing seat, a four-seat club arrangement, and a belted aft lav seat, matching a compact corporate transport configuration. Avionics are installed as the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, providing Proline 21 EFIS capabilities typical of late-model light jets for situational awareness and integrated flight management. Operationally, the airplane’s published range and cruise performance support day-trip and short transcontinental missions within the contiguous United States, consistent with corporate shuttle, owner-flown, or on-demand charter use by a small-corporate operator. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow standard CitationJet CJ1 practices, with emphasis on adherence to manufacturer and engine OEM schedules for the twin Williams FJ44-1A units.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet CJ1 occupies the light-jet segment as an entry-level clean-sheet business jet designed for high-speed point-to-point travel for small passenger counts. With cruise speeds near 404 kts and a 1,550 nm range, the CJ1 competes historically with light jets such as the Learjet 31 variants and early Phenom/Learjet-class models in mission scope and operating economics. Buyer and charter demand for CJ1 airframes tends to focus on operators seeking efficient short-to-medium stage lengths with low crew and operating complexity, while resale and maintenance considerations emphasize the status of avionics upgrades like the Collins Pro Line 21 and the condition and shop-history of the Williams FJ44-1A engines.
