The airframe configured as a Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 typically seats 8 passengers and supports short- to medium-range mission profiles within its 1,300 nm range and 329 kts cruise capability. Operated by HUDSON AIR LLC from its home base in Henagar, AL, the aircraft is suited to regional charter, corporate positioning flights, and owner-flown missions requiring efficient single-pilot or two-pilot operations typical of light business jets of this class.

Routine maintenance and engine support would follow the manufacturer and Williams program practices for the FJ44 series engines.

The Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 occupies the light business jet niche within Cessna’s Citation family, offering transcontinental city-pair flexibility on shorter sectors thanks to a 41,000 ft ceiling and the efficient Williams FJ44 engines producing 1,965 lbf each. It competes with other light jets in terms of cabin capacity and operating economics, where buyers and charter operators seek low-hour airframes with documented maintenance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe hinge on hours, cycles, and logbook condition, which are not published for N817HC in the supplied data.
