N28DM

This entry covers airframe N28DM, a 2007-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0142. The aircraft is registered in the United States and currently owned by MACHAVIA INC, a corporation based in Christiansted, VI, US. Ownership and registry records identify MACHAVIA INC as the named owner and operator/home base in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The airframe’s build year, serial and current corporate ownership frame its recent operational identity and registry status.

The aircraft is outfitted in an 8-place executive layout and is certified for single-pilot operation, reflecting a configuration suited to short to medium international hops and owner-operated missions. Based in Christiansted, VI, US under the ownership of MACHAVIA INC, the airframe’s capabilities—particularly its 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed—support typical mission profiles between Caribbean points and mainland U.S. destinations without excessive technical stops. Cabin arrangements emphasize executive seating for eight passengers in a compact business-jet footprint; specific avionics fitment and bespoke amenities are not published for this airframe. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would follow standard type inspections and the needs of a corporate-operated CitationJet CJ3 with the noted twin Williams engines.

As a Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3, this airframe combines a high cruise speed (416 kt) and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft with an eight-seat executive cabin, positioning it in the light business jet performance niche. The twin Williams FJ44-3A powerplants rated at 2,820 lbf each underpin its typical mission set of point-to-point regional and offshore operations. For owners and operators of this specific serial (525B0142) and registration (N28DM), considerations for continued operation include adherence to the type’s maintenance intervals and configuration for single-pilot executive use as reflected in the published specifications.
