N174SJ

This article covers airframe N174SJ, a 2007-built example of the Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0174. The aircraft is currently owned by SIERRA JULIET LLC, a corporation based in Greeley, CO, US, and carries a US registration. Originally manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) in 2007, the airplane retains a typical CJ3 equipment standard and is valued at $4,700,000 on current indicative listings. Operator and registry records indicate corporate ownership and basing in Greeley, Colorado, with no additional notable registry actions published beyond the corporate registration.

The airframe is configured in an executive six–eight passenger center-club layout with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, matching the typical CJ3 interior fit for corporate transport. Avionics aboard follow the common CJ3 fit of the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting line operations, business missions and single-pilot capable procedures as designed for the model. With a long-range capability of 2,040 nm and a high-speed cruise of 416 kts, typical missions for this aircraft include regional and transcontinental business travel, point-to-point charters, and corporate shuttle operations from its Greeley, Colorado operator base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with corporate-jet practices for twin Williams FJ44-3A powerplants and avionics lifecycle management typical of Collins Pro Line 21-equipped airframes.

As a member of the CitationJet CJ3 family produced by Cessna (Textron Aviation), this airframe occupies a niche for light business jets offering transcontinental range at high cruise speeds and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft. The combination of an eight-seat executive cabin, twin Williams FJ44-3A engines and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics positions the CJ3 as a performer-oriented light jet in the used market. At an indicative value of $4,700,000, resale and acquisition considerations for this serial (525B0174) focus on engine cycles, avionics upgrade status, and interior condition in line with corporate ownership norms.
