N393JC

This entry concerns airframe N393JC, a Cessna 650 Citation III built in 1986 with serial number 650-0113. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by the corporate entity FLYCAROLINA JET PARTNERS LLC, based in Charlotte, NC, US. N393JC has remained under corporate ownership as FLYCAROLINA JET PARTNERS LLC since its recorded registration, and public records list the aircraft as a fixed-wing, multi-engine business jet configured for up to twelve seats. Notable registry actions and transaction valuations are not published in the supplied dataset.

The Citation III airframe N393JC is configured for a maximum of 12 seats, indicating a typical executive cabin layout optimized for short- to medium-haul corporate transport. With a long-range cruise of 423 kts and a ferry/mission range of 2,348 nm, the aircraft suits transcontinental US sectors and longer nonstop sectors to Caribbean and Central American destinations from its Charlotte base. The twin TFE731-3B engines, each rated at 3,650 lbf, drive the aircraft’s long-range cruise and high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft, factors that affect routine maintenance cycles and engine overhaul planning. Specific avionics fit and interior amenity lists for this airframe are not published in the provided data.

The Cessna 650 Citation III occupies a performance niche among large-cabin light/medium business jets of its era, offering high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling driven by twin TFE731-series turbofans. Competing models in its market segment historically include other late-1980s and early-1990s business jets offering similar transcontinental capability. Demand among corporate buyers and charter operators typically emphasizes range, speed, and cabin capacity—attributes reflected by N393JC’s 2,348 nm range and 12-seat configuration. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe center on engine TBO and the airframe’s vintage (built 1986) as buyers weigh refurbishment, avionics upgrades, and the availability of parts for the TFE731-series.
