Model & Market Context
This article concerns airframe N304TX, a 2018-built Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B), serial number 525B0569, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. The jet is registered in the US and is owned by NLW INC DBA, a corporation based in Indianapolis, IN, US, which appears as the current operator on registry records. The aircraft is configured and valued at approximately $8,500,000 based on the supplied valuation figure and typical market comparables. No additional registry actions or prior ownership transfers are published in the provided data; the airframe’s condition is indicated only by its documented year-of-build and valuation.
The cabin aboard N304TX follows the typical CJ3+ executive arrangement with 6–8 place club seating, a forward galley, and an aft enclosed lavatory, providing a conventional light business-jet interior suited to short- to medium-haul corporate missions. Avionics are fitted with the standard Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck common to CJ3+ installations, supporting modern navigation, glass-panel situational awareness, and performance planning for high-frequency business operations. With a cruise speed of 416 kts and a range of 2,040 nm, this airframe is typically employed on point-to-point executive trips, regional corporate scheduling, and charter work originating from its Indianapolis base. Maintenance considerations align with light-twin turbofan practices for the Williams FJ44 series, with calendar- and cycles-based inspections driven by operator usage patterns.
The Cessna Citation CJ3+ (525B) occupies the light-cabin, entry-level super-light business jet niche, offering high single-pilot capability, efficient Williams FJ44 powerplants, and modern avionics like the Garmin G3000. Competing models include other light jets from Embraer and Honda/older Learjet variants, with the CJ3+ prized for its combination of range (2,040 nm), cruise speed (416 kts), and cabin flexibility (8 seats typical). Buyer and charter demand generally favors late-model, low-cycle examples; resale and maintenance considerations for N304TX will hinge on logged cycles, avionics upgrades, and engine time remaining on the Falken-like Williams FJ44-3A powerplants.
