N30CJ

The airframe N30CJ is a 2024-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ with manufacturer serial number 525B0730, completed by Textron Aviation Inc (Cessna). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned and operated by S&R TRANSPORTATION III LLC, an LLC based in Wilmington, NC, US. There are no additional public registry actions noted here; the airframe is listed with a market valuation of $10,200,000 and presents as a current-production CJ3+ example with factory and dealer fit options documented for executive transport roles. The registration and valuation reflect a modern light-cabin Citation configured for corporate or charter use.

The aircraft carries an executive cabin in an executive layout with factory options allowing up to nine maximum passengers; typical configurations referenced include a seven-place club or belted lav arrangement and dealer listings noting six pedestal seats with a nine-passenger maximum capability. Avionics are centered on the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, incorporating dual GTC/GPS units, dual GTX‑3000 transponders, ADS‑B Out, and a Garmin GWX weather radar as fitted, supporting modern airspace compliance and situational awareness. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include short- to medium-range corporate missions and on-demand charter flights within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed envelope, operating from the owner/operator base in Wilmington, North Carolina. Maintenance and operational considerations follow light-cabin CJ3+ norms, including twin Williams FJ44-3A engine support and Garmin avionics software/AVIONICS service regimes.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ occupies the light‑jet niche for operators seeking higher speed and range than entry-level very light jets while retaining single-pilot capability in many configurations. Performance metrics such as a 45,000 ft ceiling, 416 kt cruise, and 2,040 nm range position the model against competitors in the light-cabin segment, attracting corporate owners and charter operators who value cabin flexibility (up to nine pax) and low-to-mid lifecycle operating costs. Maintenance and resale considerations for this serial-year example reflect modern engine and avionics commonality—Williams FJ44 series support and Garmin G3000 equipage—factors that sustain secondary-market demand and preserve valuation for a 2024 production airframe.
