Model & Market Context
This entry documents airframe N160BR, a 2014-built Cessna Citation CJ3+ (Model 525B, serial 525B0454). The airframe was manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and is registered to DFT LLC, based in Central Point, OR, US. The airframe is operated as a US-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet and is recorded with an estimated market value of $7,000,000. No additional registry transfers or incidents are published for this specific serial in the provided data.
The cabin on N160BR is fitted in the CJ3+ standard arrangement: a typical six-place club layout with an additional forward/rear seat and a belted lavatory, providing a configurable capacity of 6–8 pax depending on mission needs. Avionics are the CJ3+ standard Garmin G3000 suite, supporting modern integrated flight, navigation and touchscreen management capabilities. With a long-range capability of 2,040 nm and a cruise speed near 416 kts, the aircraft is suitable for regional to transcontinental missions within the continental US and nearby international routes; typical operations from its home base in Central Point, OR are likely to focus on owner/operator business travel and on-demand mission profiles. Maintenance considerations follow the CJ3+ program and FADEC-equipped Williams FJ44-3A engine support, aligned with Textron/IAM recommended schedules for this model year.
The Cessna Citation CJ3+ (Model 525B) occupies the light-cabin, entry-level long-range turbofan niche, offering a balance of performance (up to 45,000 ft ceiling) and operating economics. Competing models in its class emphasize similar speed and range profiles, and demand typically centers on owner/operators and charter operators seeking single-pilot optionality and modest operating costs. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2014 CJ3+ like N160BR include avionics commonality with Garmin G3000-equipped fleets and the lifecycle status of the Williams FJ44 engine family, both factors that influence marketability and retained value near the stated $7,000,000.
