N225SC

The airframe bearing tail number N225SC is a factory-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc in 2020 with serial number 525B0611. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned privately by RHODE JASON, an individual based in Austin, TX, US; the registration and ownership place the jet in a U.S. civil registry. Built in 2020 and subsequently registered to RHODE JASON in Austin, Texas, this CJ3+ represents a recent-production example of the type. The listed market valuation for this specific airframe is $8,475,000, reflecting its relatively young age and factory-standard equipment fit.

This CJ3+ is typically configured with an executive club-style cabin layout consistent with factory CJ3+ offerings and standard owner installations, featuring a typical 6–8 passenger arrangement, a refreshment center and an enclosed lavatory; actual cabin installations vary, but this airframe is noted as following those executive conventions. Avionics are of the Garmin G3000 type as is typical for factory CJ3+ builds, supporting integrated flight management, touchscreen controls and modern situational awareness suites. Operating from its Austin, TX home base, the aircraft is suited to short to medium range business missions and owner/operator private transport over the continental U.S., while maintenance considerations follow Williams FJ44-3A engine program schedules and Textron-recommended structural inspections for late-model Citation business jets.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ family occupies the light-cabin, longish-range turbofan niche, offering piston-like operating economics with turbofan speed and altitude capability. Competitors in its class include other light-cabin jets with similar range and speed, and demand remains strong among owner/operators and charter operators seeking transregional capability. For this 2020 airframe, resale and maintenance considerations are influenced by the airframe’s modern avionics fit, recent manufacture date, and the FJ44-3A engine commonality that supports established maintenance and parts networks.
