N993GL

The airframe bearing tail number N993GL is a factory-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) delivered in 2003 with serial number 525-0509. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by CODY AVIATION PARTNERS LLC, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, reflecting the current ownership and operator relationship. Registry and broker listings describe the airplane in executive configuration and indicate a market valuation of $2,595,000, with condition notes available through transaction records and sale advertisements. The aircraft’s documented operator/home base is associated with the owner’s Utah location, and public sale listings have highlighted the airframe’s avionics and interior as notable elements in resale presentation.

This specific CJ1 is outfitted in an executive 5–8-place cabin layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory as described in the sale listing, supporting typical light business-jet missions and short-haul executive transport. The avionics fit on broker and listing materials shows a Collins Pro Line 21 suite augmented with dual Garmin GTN 750Xi units as-equipped, enabling modern navigation and situational awareness upgrades within the original avionics architecture. Typical operations for this airframe would include regional point-to-point charters or owner/operator business use from its Salt Lake City base, leveraging the CJ1’s runway performance and economy for short- to medium-range trips. Maintenance considerations align with Williams FJ44-series engine program requirements and platform-specific inspection intervals noted for early-2000s CitationJets.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light-jet niche offering efficient cruise speeds and single-pilot capability for many operators, with the CJ family prized for low operating costs relative to larger business jets. Comparable models in its class compete on range and cabin flexibility, with buyer demand driven by entry-level executive mission needs and cost-conscious charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2003 airframe such as 525-0509 include avionics modernization (illustrated by the GTN installs) and adherence to engine program history for the Williams FJ44-series to sustain marketability at the reported valuation.
