N908PR

This entry documents airframe N908PR, a 1999-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) with serial number 525-0148. Manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation), the jet is registered in the US and is owned by CITATION 908 LLC, an LLC based in Chattanooga, TN, US. The airframe is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet configured for eight passengers and is currently appraised at $1,900,000, reflecting its age and mission capability. Ownership is recorded under the cited LLC in Chattanooga, indicating a corporate proprietor and domestic registry status.

The airframe operates as a light-cabin business jet optimized for short to medium-range missions, with an eight-seat configuration suitable for owner-operators or small corporate transport. Cabin accommodations and specific avionics fit for N908PR are recorded at the operator level; however, the installed engines and performance figures support point-to-point trips within the jet’s 1,550 nm range at cruise speeds around 381 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 41,000 ft. Based at Chattanooga, TN, US under the ownership of CITATION 908 LLC, typical operation profiles for this airframe would include regional business travel and air-taxi missions where runway performance and speed-to-cost balance are prioritized. Maintenance considerations reflect the airframe’s era and twin Williams FJ44-1A powerplants, which influence scheduled engine program and component-life planning for this specific serial, 525-0148.

As a member of the Cessna CitationJet family, the Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) served the light-jet niche offering efficient regional cruise and low operating empty weight relative to larger business jets. Competing models in this segment target similar short-haul missions and owner-flown operations; demand typically centers on cost-conscious buyers seeking simple, reliable twin-engine performance. For N908PR, factors such as model year (1999), serial 525-0148, and current valuation at $1,900,000 are central to resale considerations and maintenance budgeting under corporate ownership, with parts availability and aging-system inspections being routine resale and upkeep drivers.
