N30DE

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing registration N30DE, a 2007-built business jet with serial number 525B0185. The airframe is a Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation) and later registered to SUNSKIES AVIATION LLC. Ownership is recorded to SUNSKIES AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Bakersfield, CA, US, which acts as the operator/home base for the aircraft. Registry and airworthiness actions for this airframe are noted in public records as belonging to the United States civil registration system.

The airframe configured with 8 seats supports typical light-cabin business missions such as regional point-to-point travel within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and high-speed cruise at about 416 kts. Based from Bakersfield, CA, US, the operator uses the aircraft for corporate and private transport consistent with light jet utilization patterns; typical leg lengths fall well within the CJ3’s mission profile. The twin Williams FJ44-3A engines provide efficient cruise performance up to a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, with maintenance and support routines aligned to Williams International engine program requirements. Cabin layout and specific avionics fit for this serial are not published in the provided data.

The airframe belongs to the Citation CJ3 family, a light-cabin, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet class that occupies a niche for short-to-medium-range corporate travel with modest operating costs and high dispatch reliability. With twin Williams FJ44-3A engines, the model is competitive against contemporary light jets for speed and climb performance while appealing to private owners and charter operators. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific 2007 serial 525B0185 reflect typical CJ3 market dynamics: steady demand for well-maintained airframes, attention to engine program enrollment, and value retention tied to maintenance history and avionics/completion standards.
