Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N163JM, a Cessna 650 Citation III built in 1988 with serial number 650-0163. The airframe is owned by Gainesville Aircraft Sales, Inc., a corporation based in Gainesville, FL, US, and is registered in the US. Available registry information highlights its corporate ownership and a market valuation estimated at $800,000, with operational characteristics consistent with long-range light-cabin business jets of its era. Maintenance and valuation notes emphasize its age and serial-specific identity within the Citation III production run.
The airframe configuration supports 11 seats, indicating a typical light-cabin corporate interior arranged for a mix of passenger seating and commoditized cabin service. Operated from Gainesville, Florida by its corporate owner, typical missions for this aircraft are consistent with medium- to long-range executive transport within its 2,348 nm range and 422 kts cruise capability. Avionics and specific cabin amenities are not published in the available data; operational considerations therefore focus on the aircraft's propulsion and performance envelope—twin TFE731-3B turbofans—along with age-related maintenance cycles typical for an airframe constructed in 1988. The airframe's registration in the US implies compliance with applicable U.S. continued airworthiness and registration processes.
The airframe is a member of the Cessna 650 Citation III family, a fixed-wing, multi-engine business jet platform offering transcontinental mission capability at high-altitude cruise (service ceiling 51,000 ft) and relatively high cruise speeds (422 kts). In the market, Citation III aircraft from the late 1980s occupy a segment appealing to buyers seeking capable performance at lower acquisition prices; the listed airframe valuation of $800,000 reflects both operational utility and age-driven depreciation. Prospective operators and purchasers should weigh typical maintenance, systems upgrades, and resale considerations for a late-1980s airframe against its performance niche and remaining operational life.
