N103CL 2003 Cessna Citation CJ2

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N103CL is a 2003-built Cessna 525A Citation CJ2, serial 525A0178, registered in the United States. Ownership of the airplane is held by the corporate entity GRM Aviation LLC, based in Naples, FL, US, which serves as the operator and primary home base for the type certificate and registry entry. Condition highlights for this airframe are limited to registry and specification data; no additional notable incident or registry actions are listed in the provided record.

Operations & Cabin

This Citation CJ2 is typically outfitted with a six-place executive centre-club cabin layout with a forward refreshment centre and an aft baggage area; the record notes that custom interiors are common for this airframe class. The documented seating complement for the aircraft is 8 seats, consistent with light-cabin business use and short- to mid-range missions. While the specific avionics fit for N103CL is not listed in the FAA summary, the CJ2 series commonly carries the Collins Pro Line 21 suite as a typical fit; this suggests a capability for modern IFR route structures and established corporate operations. Based in Naples, Florida, operations by GRM Aviation LLC would typically exploit the airframe’s 1,550 nm range and 410-knot cruise speed for regional and interstate charter or corporate movements; maintenance considerations reflect series-typical engine and avionics support for the Williams FJ44 family and common custom-interior logistics.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 525A Citation CJ2 airframe represented by N103CL occupies the light-cabin, long-range small business jet niche defined by a cruise near 410 kts and a 45,000 ft ceiling, enabling efficient point-to-point corporate missions within its 1,550 nm range. With eight seats and typical executive outfitting, the model targets owner-operators and charter operators seeking relatively low acquisition cost for a jet-capable platform; the documented valuation of $3,500,000 for this airframe reflects that market positioning. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial and year are influenced by the Williams FJ44-2C propulsion commonality and the prevalence of custom interiors, which can affect refurbishment costs and buyer preferences during disposition.
