This entry documents airframe N330WS, a 2006-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 with serial number 525B0066. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by VALIAIR LIMITED CO TRUSTEE, a trust located in Ogden, UT, US, reflecting a trustee ownership structure rather than individual proprietorship. The aircraft’s manufacturer is listed as Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna) and the type is categorized as fixed-wing multi-engine. Valuation records indicate an assessed market value of $3,049,647, a figure useful for insurance, lien, or registry purposes.

The airframe as specified supports an 8-seat executive cabin typical of the Citation CJ3 lineage, optimized for short-to-medium international sectors within its 2,040 nm mission range. With a cruise speed of 415 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the aircraft is suited to high-speed, high-altitude cruise profiles commonly used for business travel and on-demand charter operations. Operator and home-base details reflect the trustee ownership in Ogden, UT, US, which may influence maintenance oversight and regulatory compliance under U.S. registry rules. No additional bespoke cabin fit or avionics specifics are published beyond the model-standard configurations.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, high-performance sector of business jets, offering quicker trip times and flexible field performance relative to turboprops and smaller jets. Powered by twin Williams International FJ44-3A engines rated at 2,820 lbf each, the type competes with other light jets for owner-operators and charter fleets seeking eight-seat capacity and transcontinental capability in certain markets. The recorded market value of $3,049,647 places this airframe within a used-aircraft price band that factors age, serial-specific maintenance history, and ownership structure for prospective buyers or financiers.
