The registration listing attributes an 8-seat executive layout to this specific airframe, indicating a typical corporate or private executive interior optimized for short to mid-range business missions. With a cruise speed of 364 kts and a range of 1,550 nm, mission profiles for this aircraft commonly include regional point-to-point flights and domestic charters within the continental United States when operated from its owner’s base in Fallbrook, CA, US. The twin Williams FJ44-1A engines provide the thrust necessary for rapid climb to a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, which supports efficient cruise altitudes and favorable fuel burn in the CitationJet class. Maintenance considerations align with light-jet twin-engine practices for the model and reflect typical operator needs for engine program enrollment and airframe inspections; specific equipment or avionics fit is not published in the supplied data.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet occupies the light-cabin, light-jet segment, offering economical single-pilot operations and fast regional capability compared with larger business jets. Its combination of a modest acquisition value—here listed as $1,550,000 for this airframe—and efficient Williams FJ44 series propulsion makes it attractive to owner-operators and small charter operators seeking low operating costs and accessible runway performance. Competing models in the same mission niche include other light jets from the 1990s era; typical market considerations for this specific airframe would focus on age-related systems refurbishment, engine program status, and the resale appeal tied to documented interior condition and logbook completeness.
