The Citation CJ1 (ICAO C525) is the original member of the Cessna 525 family: a light, short‑range corporate jet designed for single‑pilot operation, low runway performance and economical short‑haul missions. Typical CJ1 mission profiles are regional hops (up to ~1,200–1,300 nm IFR with reserves), owner‑operated charter and air-taxi work; the model competes on operating cost and field performance against early-generation light jets. The CJ1's certified ceiling is 41,000 ft and it is widely used by small companies and owner-operators.
