Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N894C is a Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 (CitationJet 2) built in 2001 with serial number 525A0013. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by GOLDEN JET LLC, a limited liability company based in Sitka, AK, US; the registration reflects this single-owner corporate listing and no intervening operators are documented in the supplied data. The airframe is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and powered by modern turbofan engines for its class. Valuation information supplied places the aircraft at $2,700,000, indicating its market standing among early-2000s light jets in operable condition.
This specific CJ2 airframe, operated from Sitka, AK by GOLDEN JET LLC, is configured with an eight-seat layout, consistent with the light business-jet role of the CitationJet 2 series. Typical missions for an aircraft with 1,781 nm range and a 351 kts cruise speed include regional business travel, point-to-point charters, and quick transcontinental segments when optimally routed; its 45,000 ft ceiling supports efficient enroute profiles and favorable cabin comfort relative to turboprops. While avionics and interior specification details for this tail number are not provided, CJ2s commonly carry modern flight decks for the period and a compact cabin optimized for short to medium sectors. Maintenance considerations for this airframe will center on twin Williams FJ44-2C engine support and typical light-jet airframe and avionics checks consistent with corporate operations based in Alaska.
The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 (CitationJet 2) occupies the light-cabin, short- to medium-range niche, delivering higher speeds and altitudes than turboprops while retaining runway flexibility for regional airports. Competing models in this performance bracket include earlier light Citations and similar light jets from other manufacturers; demand is typically driven by owner-operators and small charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2001-built CJ2 such as N894C reflect engine program status, avionics updates, and regional utilization patterns, with the supplied $2,700,000 valuation representing a snapshot consistent with an active, maintained asset in this class.
