Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing US civil registration N1LF is a 2011-built Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B), constructor serial number 525B0359. The aircraft is owned by WLF LLC, an LLC based in Ellis, KS, US, and is recorded on the US registry under that ownership. The two-engine light business jet was manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and retains the factory model designation Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B). Public records for this specific tail indicate standard corporate ownership with no widely reported incidents or notable registry actions published for this airframe.

The cabin of this registered CJ3 is configured for 8 seats in a typical executive arrangement—either club or forward-club layout—with a forward refreshment center and an enclosed lavatory as noted in the registration configuration. Avionics fit for the airframe aligns with Garmin G3000 (Gen3) features including Garmin Emergency Autoland, autothrottles, TAWS-B and TCAS II as described for the CJ3 Gen3 product line. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type and outfitting include short- to mid-range corporate transport and on-demand charter legs within its 2,040 nm range and high-speed cruise capability, operating from its owner/operator base in Ellis, KS for business or relocation flights. Maintenance considerations would follow CJ3 scheduled inspections and Williams FJ44-3A engine support programs applicable to this serial.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) sits in the light-cabin, long-range light business jet niche, offering a balance of cruise speed and range suitable for regional transcontinental trips. Competing models include other light-cabin offerings that prioritize similar single-pilot capability and operating economics. Buyer and charter demand for CJ3 airframes is influenced by avionics modernization (such as Garmin G3000 Gen3), engine support status for the Williams FJ44-3A pair, and documented configuration—this example’s 8-seat executive interior and avionics fit underpin its appeal in owner-operator and charter markets. Resale and maintenance considerations center on airframe hours, engine program enrollment, and provenance tied to WLF LLC’s ownership.
