RADAR ESTIMATE

What N148FB is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna Citation CJ2 on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N148FB's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific CJ2 is configured as a six-passenger center-club executive layout with a left-hand refreshment center and a belted flushing lavatory; the registry lists a total of 8 seats including cockpit positions. Avionics are advertised as Collins Pro Line 21, consistent with Pro Line 21-equipped listings for the model, supporting typical single-pilot or two-pilot IFR operations common to light mid-size business jets. With a cruise speed of 410 kts and a range of 1,781 nm, the aircraft is suited to short- to mid-range business missions, charter hops, and regional corporate travel out of its Sioux Falls base. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe follow the CJ2 program norms, including attention to the Williams FJ44-2C engine maintenance intervals and avionics lifecycle for the Pro Line 21 suite.

Model & Market Context

The Cessna 525A CitationJet CJ2 occupies the light business jet niche, offering high single-pilot capability, modest operating costs, and runway performance attractive to regional operators. Competing models in its segment include other light-cabin jets with similar range and speed profiles; demand typically comes from owner-operators and charter providers seeking efficient regional transports.
