N999HF

This airframe, registered as N999HF, is a 2001-built Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) with manufacturer serial number 525-0462. The aircraft is owned by SWEET SKIES LLC, a corporate owner based in Wellington, FL, US, and operates on the U.S. civil registry. The airframe’s documented market valuation is $1,869,915, reflecting its age, configuration, and the general market for early-2000s light business jets. Registry history highlights a corporate ownership profile and home-base operations consistent with a Florida-based operator.

The cabin of this Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) is configured for up to 8 passengers in the light-jet class, optimized for short- to medium-range corporate and private missions out of its Florida base. Avionics fit can include Collins Pro Line 21 or legacy CJ-series systems depending on retrofit history; this airframe’s OEM-derivative installations are consistent with typical CJ1 equipment options. Typical missions for N999HF would be regional point-to-point trips within a roughly 1,550 nm range at cruise speeds around 404 kts and operating ceilings up to 41,000 ft, suitable for low-fuel-penalty hops and business repositioning flights. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe follow the CJ1 program and Williams FJ44-series engine support patterns, with corporate ownership implying regular scheduled upkeep and record continuity.

The Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) occupies the light jet performance niche, offering efficient twin-engine operation with Williams FJ44 powerplants rated at 1,965 lbf each and strong speed-for-class performance. Competing models in the entry-level light-jet segment include early-production Learjet and Phenom-class types, though the CJ1 is often favored for its operating economics and runway performance. Buyer and charter demand for 2001-built CJ1s hinges on avionics retrofit status (Collins Pro Line 21 versus legacy CJ-series fit), engine cycles, and total time; these factors directly influence resale value, which for this airframe is recorded at $1,869,915. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial (525-0462) reflect typical light-jet lifecycle issues: avionics modernization, engine shop visits on FJ44 intervals, and airframe corrosion/inspection items consistent with regional operation from a Florida base.
