This particular Citation CJ3, registered as N356DC, is configured for an 8-seat executive cabin typical of the 525B variant, supporting short- to mid-range corporate transport and on-demand charter missions. The CJ3 family commonly features a two-pilot cockpit with advanced avionics suites; this airframe’s mission profile centers on point-to-point business travel within its 2,040 nm range and cruise speed around 416 kts, enabling efficient regional routing from its base in Orlando, FL, US. Routine operations will follow the manufacturer’s maintenance programs for the twin Williams FJ44-3A engines, with consideration for scheduled inspections at typical intervals associated with light business jets of this era. Cabin amenities and specific avionics fit for this serial are consistent with Citation CJ3 standards unless otherwise modified under owner specifications.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, long-range turbofan niche, offering a balance of speed, range, and operating economy suitable for owner-operators and charter companies. Competing models include other light business jets in the same class; buyer and charter demand historically favor examples with complete maintenance records, modern avionics, and lower cycles—factors that influence resale value around the listed $5,000,000. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on the Williams FJ44 series engines and airframe life-cycle inspections typical for a 2011-built CJ3, with resale and charter prospects tied to documented upkeep and any avionics or interior refurbishments.
