N793CJ

This entry documents airframe N793CJ, a factory-built Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 completed in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 525-0021. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by AGL LEASE LLC, an LLC based in Grand Rapids, MN, US. The airframe is a typical early CJ1 configuration and carries a market valuation around $1,700,000, reflecting its age, configuration and avionics fit. Recorded ownership is limited to the listed lessor; no additional operational controversies or registry interruptions are noted in the supplied data.

The cabin for N793CJ follows the CitationJet executive club layout, typically seating 6–8 passengers with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, providing a conventional light-jet executive environment for short to medium business missions. Avionics installed are the Collins Pro Line 21 suite as typically fitted to CJ1 installations, supporting IFR and corporate charter operations within the airframe’s performance envelope. With a range of 1,300 nm and a cruise of 360 kts, the aircraft is well-suited to point-to-point regional missions, light corporate shuttle duties, and lease-back arrangements; maintenance considerations emphasize the Williams FJ44 engine family and airframe/component age items typical of a 2000-build CitationJet. The listed owner, AGL LEASE LLC of Grand Rapids, MN, US, positions the aircraft for lease opportunities rather than sole private operation in the supplied record.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 occupies the light twin-engine business jet niche with efficiency and operating costs that appealed to owner-operators and charter operators in the 1990s–2000s. Competing models in this segment include other light jets offering similar single-pilot capability and short-field performance. Demand for CJ1 airframes typically focuses on cost-conscious buyers seeking proven systems such as the Collins Pro Line 21 and the reliable Williams FJ44 engine series, while resale considerations for a 2000-built airframe like 525-0021 center on avionics currency, engine cycles, and overall interior condition.
