N775TB

This entry covers airframe N775TB, a 1994-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1), manufacturer Cessna (Textron Aviation), serial number 525-0075. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by CJ PARTNERS LLC, an LLC based in Springfield, IL, US; its ownership is recorded in civil registers associated with that entity. No other operators or prior owners are published in the supplied data, and there are no additional registry actions supplied beyond national registration and the indicated ownership. Valuation information supplied lists the airframe at $1,700,000, which frames its market position among light business jets of similar vintage.

The subject aircraft, N775TB, is configured with an eight-seat cabin typical of early CitationJet CJ1 interiors, intended for short- to mid-range business missions. While specific internal layout details and avionics fit for this serial are not supplied, the CJ1 family typically supports a compact forward galley and executive seating for up to eight, making it suitable for point-to-point regional trips. Based in Springfield, IL, US under CJ PARTNERS LLC, typical operations would emphasize quick positioning flights and owner-operator business use within the aircraft’s 1,300 nm radius and high-cruise speed capability of 381 kts. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the FJ44 series engines and the 1994 build year, with common attention to life-limited components, avionics upgrades, and corrosion inspections on older airframes.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light, entry-level business jet niche, offering efficient short-haul performance and single-pilot capability in many operator configurations. With twin Williams FJ44-1A powerplants producing 1,900 lbf each, the CJ1 delivers performance such as a 41,000 ft ceiling and cruise speeds near 381 kts, putting it in competition with other light jets of the 1990s era. Buyers and charter operators typically value these airframes for low operating costs and good runway performance, but resale and maintenance considerations for a 1994 serial like 525-0075 include potential avionics modernization and the market impact of cumulative airframe hours on valuation.
