Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail N129DG is a 2008-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B-0269, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna). It is owned by the corporate entity DUTRA GROUP based in San Rafael, CA, US, and operates on the United States civil registry. No notable registry actions or incidents are published for this specific airframe in the provided data. The aircraft is described with a market valuation of $5,050,000, reflecting typical condition and equipment for a CJ3 of its vintage.

The cabin in this airframe is outfitted in the common CJ3 executive arrangement: a typical 6–8-place executive club layout with an aft belted lavatory and a refreshment center, suitable for business transport and short to medium international hops. The original avionics fit is listed as Collins Pro Line 21, which was common on many early CJ3 deliveries though many airframes are noted to have undergone avionics upgrades in service; the provided data does not specify whether this particular ship has been modernized. With a cruise near 416 kts and a range of 2,040 nm, typical mission profiles include regional business travel and point-to-point charters from its operator base in Northern California. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft follow standard CJ3 practices given its Williams FJ44-3A engines and corporate usage pattern.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light business jet niche offering a balance of cabin comfort, single-pilot capability, and efficient short-to-medium range performance. Competing models in the segment include other light jets with similar range and speed profiles; demand among buyers and charter operators typically emphasizes low operating costs and commonality of avionics and engines. Resale value for a 2008 CJ3 such as 525B-0269 at $5,050,000 reflects market interest in well-maintained, corporate-configured examples, while maintenance cycles and potential avionics upgrades are primary considerations for prospective secondary-market purchasers.
