About the Cessna 525

The Cessna Citation CJ1 launched in 2000 as the smallest and most affordable member of Cessna's Citation Jet family, designed to bring true jet performance within reach of owner-pilots and small charter operators. Built on the proven Citation I/II lineage but with modern Williams FJ44 turbofans, the CJ1 seats five passengers plus crew and cruises at 380 knots over ranges approaching 1,200 nautical miles — making it ideal for regional business travel without the operating costs of midsize jets. Its compact size allows access to shorter runways and smaller airports that larger business jets cannot serve, while the single-pilot certification appeals to owner-operators stepping up from turboprops.

The CJ1 became one of the best-selling light jets of its era, with over 350 delivered before production transitioned to the improved CJ1+ in 2005. The type's reliability and straightforward systems earned it a strong reputation in both corporate and air-taxi roles, particularly across North America and Europe. Maximum operating speed is Mach 0.71 or 305 knots indicated, with a service ceiling of 41,000 feet — high enough to overfly most weather and traffic while remaining economical on fuel. The Williams FJ44-1A engines deliver 1,900 pounds of thrust each, providing brisk climb performance and the ability to operate from runways as short as 3,200 feet.
