N831BD

This entry covers airframe N831BD, a factory-built Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2+ completed in 2008 with serial number 525A0439. The aircraft is listed as owned by and operated for corporate use by Pioneer LLC, located in Springfield, MO, US and carries a US registration. Notable registry actions: Not published. Contemporary valuation estimates place this airframe at approximately $3,500,000, reflecting its age, equipment fit and typical CJ2+ market position.

The cabin of N831BD is fitted in a typical eight-passenger executive layout with club seating and belted aft seats, optimized for short- to mid-range corporate missions and on-demand charter work. Avionics are installed to the common CJ2+ standard of Collins Pro Line 21, providing integrated flight management, navigation and communications capability appropriate for flight to 45,000 ft cruise altitudes and regional IFR operations. Based in Springfield, MO, US under Pioneer LLC ownership, the airplane's mission profile would commonly include business shuttles, regional overnight trips and point-to-point flights within the aircraft’s roughly 1,781 nm ferry range. Maintenance considerations typical for this airframe class include calendar- and hour-based inspections for the Williams FJ44 series engines and avionics lifecycle upgrades for Pro Line 21 avionics; specific records for this airframe are not published here.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2+ occupies a light jet niche characterized by efficient short-field performance, relatively low operating costs and seating for eight in executive layouts. Competing models in the same segment include other light-cabin jets offering similar range and cruise speeds; buyer and charter demand typically favors well-equipped, low-time airframes with current avionics. For a 2008 built CJ2+ like N831BD, resale considerations center on engine hours, Pro Line 21 avionics condition, and completion maintenance status, all of which strongly influence the referenced market value of $3,500,000.
