RADAR ESTIMATE
What N177VV is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Cessna CitationJet on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N177VV's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N177VV
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This entry describes the individual airframe bearing tail number N177VV, a 1997-built Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) with manufacturer serial 525-0182. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation Dodson International Parts Inc, based in Rantoul, KS, US. Notable registry action includes its registration to the Rantoul-based corporation, reflecting its use under corporate ownership rather than private individual operation.
Operations & Cabin
The airframe retains a Typical CJ1 6-8 passenger executive layout, with the registry explicitly listing 8 seats and the cabin arranged for executive transport. As a light business jet powered by twin Williams FJ44 series turbofans, this specific CJ1 would commonly operate short- to medium-range corporate missions within its 1,550 nm ferry/mission profile and at typical cruise speeds around 381 kts. The listed owner, Dodson International Parts Inc, is based in Rantoul, KS, US, indicating the aircraft’s operational base and maintenance oversight are likely coordinated from that location. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with CJ1 fleet norms, emphasizing engine and avionics checks consistent with corporate-use cycles.
Model & Market Context
The Cessna 525 CitationJet (CJ1) occupies the light business jet niche, offering efficient short-haul performance and single-pilot capability in many operator configurations. With a ceiling of 41,000 ft and cruise near 381 kts, the CJ1 competes with other light jets for entry-level corporate and charter roles. Given the airframe’s 1997 build year and recorded valuation of $1,250,000, resale considerations include age-related avionics upgrades and engine program status, factors that materially influence buyer and charter demand in the used CJ1 market.
