N274DT

This entry covers airframe N274DT, a 2008-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with manufacturer serial 525B0210. The airframe is listed as owned by STARFLITE AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Beaufort, NC, US, and operates on a United States registration. The aircraft retains its original twin-engine configuration and executive interior; acquired by STARFLITE AVIATION LLC as the current operator/home base in Beaufort, NC is the most notable recent ownership note on record. Market valuation for this specific airframe is recorded at $4,250,000, reflecting its model year and configuration.

The airframe is fitted with a typical executive six-to-eight place cabin, described as a forward galley and aft lavatory layout that supports corporate, charter, and owner-flown missions. Avionics fit is not published in the provided data, so operational avionics specifics are not detailed here; however, the CJ3 airframe's performance envelope supports regional point-to-point travel and short to medium international hops within its 2,040 nm range. Based in Beaufort, North Carolina under STARFLITE AVIATION LLC, the aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with light-cabin business transport and on-demand charter work, with maintenance considerations aligned to Williams FJ44-3A turbofan support and routine inspections for a 2008 airframe.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speed and transcontinental regional range for its class. Competing models in this segment typically include other light jets that balance cabin comfort for six to eight passengers with single-pilot capability and lower operating costs than midsize jets. Buyer and charter demand for CJ3 airframes often emphasizes proven engine reliability—here provided by the Williams FJ44-3A pair—and lifecycle maintenance costs; the recorded $4,250,000 valuation reflects market positioning for a 2008 airframe with executive cabin and full certification for U.S. registry.
