N115SM

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N115SM, a 2007-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0201. The airframe is owned by Jet Aircraft 5 LLC, a corporate owner based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the United States. The airframe’s manufacturer is listed as Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and it carries the original CJ3 configuration delivered in 2007; no further registry transfers or notable incidents are published in the supplied data. Condition and valuation highlights are not published in the provided dataset.

The cabin of this airframe follows a typical 2+6/8 executive layout with a forward galley and forward airstair door and cabin baggage access aft, configured to support eight passengers in executive seating. Avionics on this early CJ3 example are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 21 system; it should be noted that later CJ3+ examples were offered with a Garmin G3000 upgrade as an alternative factory or retrofit option. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include short- to medium-range business charters and corporate point-to-point missions within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and regional cruise speed around 417 kts, operating from the owner’s U.S. base. Maintenance considerations follow common light-jet practice for two-engine Williams FJ44-equipped platforms, with cabin configuration and forward galley augmenting typical executive operations.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies a light-cabin, light-jet niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation line, balancing efficient short-field performance with transcontinental capability for its class. Competing models in the segment typically include other light-cabin jets offering similar cruise speeds and ranges; buyer and charter demand for CJ3 airframes is driven by their combination of eight-seat executive layouts and reliable FJ44 propulsion. Resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine support for the Williams International FJ44-3A, avionics generation (notably the Pro Line 21 fitted to early CJ3s), and the airframe’s recorded operator history as reflected by corporate ownership in Wilmington, DE.
