N352AV

The airframe bearing tail number N352AV is a 2010-built Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B), serial 525B-0352, manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc. (Cessna Aircraft Company). The jet is owned and managed by Avalair Aircraft Management LLC, a Houston, Texas–based corporate operator, and is registered in the US. It carries a reported market value of $4,195,000; registry entries and operator records indicate a corporate management ownership model typical for light business jets of its vintage. Entered service in 2010 and managed under corporate ownership since the noted records, the airframe’s valuation reflects age, configuration, and the typical equipment suite for Citation CJ3s offered in sales or charter markets.

The aircraft is configured in an executive 7–8 place layout with forward club seating, an optional side-facing belted seat, a right‑hand refreshment center, and a belted aft lavatory, supporting typical corporate transport and short‑to‑medium range executive missions. Avionics on this airframe are listed in sales and operator advertisements as a Collins Pro Line 21 suite (including FMS‑3000, Collins NAV/DME and TCAS II), a fit that supports single‑pilot capable routing and modern airspace compliance on domestic and regional flights. With a 2,040 nm range and a cruise of 402 kt, the jet is commonly employed on trans‑regional missions, point‑to‑point executive charters, and corporate shuttle operations out of its Houston base. Maintenance considerations align with light business jet schedules for Williams FJ44 series engines and Pro Line avionics lifecycle support.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B) occupies the light business jet niche for owners seeking a combination of runway performance, single‑pilot capability, and efficient operating costs. Competing models in its segment include other entry‑level to mid‑size light jets offering similar range and cabin capacity; buyer demand remains steady for well‑equipped CJ3s due to proven dispatch reliability and parts/maintenance availability. Resale considerations for this airframe hinge on avionics fit, interior configuration, engine cycles on the Williams FJ44‑3A engines, and the documented management/ownership history held by Avalair Aircraft Management LLC.
