N179ER

The airframe bearing registration N179ER is a 2009 Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3, serial number 525B0335, manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation). It is owned by MEDD II AIRCRAFT LLC, a corporate owner located in Zelienople, Pennsylvania, United States, which serves as the registered operator/home base for the type certificate and active U.S. registration. The FAA registry for this airframe lists an 8-seat configuration while a charter listing advertises a typical executive 7-seat layout, reflecting a difference between operational cabin fit and official certification entries. As of the provided data, the airframe carries an indicative market valuation of $5,200,000, a figure that summarizes its year, configuration and typical condition implied by active use in corporate/charter service.

The aircraft is typically presented in a corporate/charter executive configuration, with charter marketing indicating a 7-seat interior while the FAA registry records 8 seats; this implies a flexible cabin plan accommodating both executive transport and higher-density seating as required. No specific avionics fit is published in the supplied data, but the mission profile for this airframe centers on short‑to‑mid‑range regional business and charter sectors, exploiting its 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise for point‑to‑point services. Based in Zelienople, PA under corporate ownership, the airframe is suited to domestic U.S. operations and interstate charters, and maintenance considerations follow typical CJ3 practices given its twin Williams FJ44-3A engines and 2009 build year.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light business jet niche for owners seeking higher speed and range than entry-level Very Light Jets while retaining economical operating costs relative to larger midsize types. Competing models in the same performance bracket include other light-cabin jets offering similar cruise speeds and transcontinental short‑range capability; buyer and charter demand tends to favor well‑maintained, low-time examples for rapid turnarounds. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2009 airframe reflect typical age‑related inspections and engine program status for Williams FJ44 powerplants, with market value—here shown as $5,200,000—influenced by configuration, avionics, and maintenance pedigree.
