N81CP

This airframe, registered as N81CP, is a 2007-built Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 with serial number 525-0633. The airframe was manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and is currently owned by 78CL AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Ogden, UT, US; this ownership constitutes the principal recorded operator/home base association for the aircraft. Registry entries reflect its status as a United States-registered fixed-wing multi-engine jet, and the aircraft is reported with a market valuation of $1,800,000 and typical condition expectations consistent with its age and utilization profile.

The subject CJ1 is configured for an eight-seat executive cabin typical of the early CitationJet family, enabling short- to mid-range point-to-point missions such as regional business travel within the continental United States. Avionics fit for the type is typically oriented toward single-pilot IFR capability, optimized for efficiency on missions up to the aircraft’s 1,300 nm range and cruise speeds near 389 kts; specifics of this individual aircraft’s avionics suite are not published here. Based in Ogden, UT, US under 78CL AVIATION LLC ownership, the airplane’s operational profile is likely centered on corporate and charter missions from regional airports with occasional higher-altitude operations up to its 41,000 ft ceiling. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on common CJ1 items such as Williams FJ44 engine support and airframe checks commensurate with a 2007 serial number 525-0633 airframe.

The Cessna 525 Citation CJ1 occupies a light-cabin, entry-level business jet niche, offering lower acquisition and operating costs relative to larger Citation variants. With twin Williams FJ44-1AP engines producing 1,965 lbf each, the type balances cruise performance and fuel efficiency for short-haul corporate missions. Competing models in the segment include other light jets that emphasize low-hour, single-pilot operations; buyer demand typically reflects value-conscious operators seeking eight-seat utility and runway performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on engine program status, avionics configuration, and the documented maintenance history of this specific serial 525-0633 unit.
