RADAR ESTIMATE
What N1327J is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation CJ1 on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N1327J's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N1327J
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This entry describes airframe N1327J, a 1993-built light business jet of serial number 525-0009, produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation) as a Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (Citation CJ1). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by Absolute Altitude LLC, an Ohio limited liability company based in Bellefontaine, OH, US. The airframe has an FAA-listed seating capability of 8 and has been reported to have undergone an interior refurbishment in 2009.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin of N1327J is fitted in a typical 5-6 passenger executive configuration despite the FAA listing showing 8 seats, and includes a forward left refreshment center and an aft belted lavatory; listings note the reported interior refurbishment (2009). Avionics reported for this airframe include a two-tube EFIS, Bendix/King communications, KLN-series GPS and a Sperry SPZ-5000 IFCS as described in sales material. Operating range and cruise performance position the aircraft for short- to mid-range corporate missions, day trips and regional charters from its home base in Bellefontaine, OH, US or other U.S. bases; common mission profiles emphasize point-to-point transportation for small groups with limited baggage. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical support for the Citation CJ1 fleet and Williams FJ44-series engines, and any resale appraisal will factor in the 1993 build year and documented interior updates.
Model & Market Context
The Cessna 525 CitationJet 1 (CJ1) family occupies the light business jet segment, offering relatively low operating costs, a cruise near 381 kts, and a useful range around 1,248 nm; it competes with other entry-level light jets in charter and owner-operated markets. The twin Williams FJ44 engines provide modern turbofan efficiency for the class, while avionics fits such as two-tube EFIS and GPS units are significant to buyer evaluations. For prospective buyers and charter operators, maintenance track record, interior condition (notably the 2009 refurbishment), equipment like the Sperry IFCS, and the airframe’s serial lineage (525-0009) are key resale and operational considerations.
