N361TL

This entry describes airframe N361TL, a 2006-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 with serial number 525B0061. The jet was manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company (Textron Aviation) and is recorded as owned by CJ3@0061 LLC, a corporation based in Saint Johns, MI, US. The aircraft is registered in the US and is valued at $8,475,000 according to the supplied data. Ownership is held by a single corporate entity in Saint Johns, Michigan, and no additional operator changes or notable registry actions are published in the provided dataset.

The airframe is equipped with a typical executive cabin arrangement described as a 6/7-passenger main cabin with a forward refreshment center and an enclosed belted lavatory; owner and for-sale listings specifically report a seven‑passenger main cabin plus a belted lavatory seat for this jet. Avionics fit for this airframe is the Collins Pro Line 21, consistent with Pro Line-equipped CJ3 examples (noting that some later CJ3+ variants use Garmin G3000, but that is not indicated for this airframe). Mission profiles for N361TL would commonly include short- to mid-range business trips within its 2,040 nm range and high-speed cruise at about 416 kts, operating from its corporate base in Saint Johns and regional airports. Maintenance considerations follow typical CJ3 practices for twin Williams FJ44 engines and Pro Line avionics support, with corporate ownership suggesting ferry and charter flexibility subject to owner policy.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light business jet niche, offering a balance of transcontinental capability for its class with a 45,000 ft ceiling and efficient Williams FJ44 propulsion. Competing models in the segment include light jets from Embraer and Learjet offerings, with buyers valuing cabin flexibility (6–8 seats) and efficient operating economics. For resale and maintenance, CJ3s with Pro Line 21 installations and well-documented corporate ownership, such as N361TL, tend to retain market interest; value considerations reflect age, avionics fit, engine cycles, and the documented $8,475,000 valuation for this specific airframe.
