N386TA

The airframe bearing tail number N386TA is a 2017-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ (serial 525B0518) manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc.. The jet is registered in the United States and is owned by ROCKIT X LLC, an LLC based in Birmingham, AL, US, which serves as its primary operator and home base. The aircraft appears on U.S. civil registers under corporate ownership with routine corporate operator entries, and it carries a reported market valuation of $8,500,000, reflecting a late-model CJ3+ in typical executive configuration.

The cabin of N386TA is fitted in a typical 6–8-place executive club layout with a forward refreshment center and an enclosed aft lavatory, supporting business and short to mid-range corporate missions. Avionics are configured with Garmin G3000, enabling modern integrated flightdeck functionality suited for single-pilot dispatch or two-crew operations under typical Part 135 or corporate Part 91 usage. With a cruise speed near 416 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 45,000 ft, the aircraft is employed on regional cross-country sectors within its 2,040 nm range capability from its Birmingham base. Routine corporate maintenance considerations for this airframe include the Williams FJ44-3A engine program and Garmin G3000 avionics support consistent with factory recommendations.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment where buyers seek runway performance, lower operating costs, and advanced avionics. Competing models in the same niche typically include light jets with similar payload-range and single-pilot capability; resale values for late-model examples like serial 525B0518 remain strong, as reflected by the $8,500,000 valuation. Maintenance and resale considerations often center on engine-life limits and avionics upgrades, with Garmin-equipped airframes retaining appeal to corporate operators and charter buyers seeking a modern cockpit and efficient cross-country performance.
