N889SW

The airframe bearing tail number N889SW is a 2012-built Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2+, serial number 525A0504, manufactured by the Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is owned by the corporation BROKEN PICK LAND AND CATTLE COMPANY LLC, based in Whitefish, MT, US, which serves as its registered operator/home base. Ownership was recorded to the named corporate owner in U.S. registry filings, and no public records of prior operators are presented in the supplied data. Estimated market valuation for this specific airframe is $4,100,000, reflecting its year, equipment fit, and typical CJ2+ market positioning.

The cabin of this airframe is configured in a typical 6–8 place executive layout with a forward galley, club seating, and an optional belted lav seat, providing flexible arrangements for corporate transport and owner-operator missions. Avionics in the aircraft reflect the typical CJ2+ fit with a Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting modern flight management, navigation, and integrated systems monitoring. With a cruise speed of 418 kts and a range of 1,613 nm, mission profiles generally encompass regional and transcontinental point-to-point executive flights, frequently operating from the owner’s Whitefish, Montana base. Maintenance considerations align with light business jet practices for the Williams FJ44 series engines and Pro Line 21 avionics common to the model, affecting inspection intervals and component support.

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2+ occupies the light business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental capability with economical two-engine operation. Competing models include other light jets in its class that emphasize similar range and speed metrics; buyer and charter demand typically favors owner-operators and small corporate flight departments seeking short-field performance with modern avionics. Resale considerations for this 2012 airframe center on engine hours and calendar life of the Williams FJ44-3A-24 engines, avionics package currency (Collins Pro Line 21), and overall completion condition, all of which feed into valuation and marketability.
