Operated from the owner’s home base in Aiken, SC, and registered in the US, the aircraft is suited to short-to-medium range executive missions and corporate transport within the continental United States. Avionics and specific equipment fit are not published in the supplied data; routine maintenance and inspections would follow the CitationJet/CJ1 type inspection schedules and engine support agreements consistent with Williams FJ44 family powerplants.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche characterized here by a cruise speed of 381 kts, a practical range of 1,550 nm and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, making it competitive for regional corporate missions and air-taxi roles. Twin Williams FJ44 series engines provide efficient thrust ratings (1,965 lbf each) for the class and influence operating economics and maintenance planning for owners. With an indicated unit value of $1,700,000 for this 1997 serial, resale considerations hinge on engine cycles, avionics updates and interior condition; such factors typically drive marketability within the light-jet used aircraft segment. The airframe’s fixed-wing multi-engine category and eight-seat executive layout maintain steady demand among owner-operators and small charter operators seeking a compact, capable business jet.
