N3CT

The airframe bearing registration N3CT is a factory-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 completed in 2005 with serial number 525B0041. Public records for an ownership timeline and detailed operator history are not published for this specific airframe. The aircraft is US-registered and retains a market valuation listed at $4,700,000, reflecting its mid-2000s build date and configuration. No published notable registry actions appear in the provided dataset; condition highlights beyond valuation are not supplied.

The interior of N3CT follows a typical six-to-eight passenger executive layout with a forward refreshment center, mid-cabin club seating, and an aft belted lavatory, supporting executive transport and on-demand charter missions. Avionics are configured with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, a common factory or retrofit fit on CJ3 aircraft, which supports standard regional business-jet navigation, communication, and flight-management capabilities for instrument and high-altitude operations. With its 2,040 nm range and cruise around 416 knots, the airframe is suited to short- to medium-range point-to-point missions between major business centers or for shuttle-style charter work from a US operator base. Specific unique amenities, maintenance history, and operator base details for this individual serial are not provided in the dataset.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies a light-cabin, light-business-jet niche within Textron Aviation’s Citation family, offering high single-flight speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling relative to piston and turboprop alternatives. Its performance figures—particularly the 416-knot cruise and 2,040 nm range—make it competitive for owners or charter operators seeking efficient regional capability. Typical buyers and charter operators value CJ3s for flexibility, crew-friendly avionics like the Collins Pro Line 21, and relatively moderate acquisition costs, as reflected by the $4,700,000 valuation for this 2005 example. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe will align with light-jet market dynamics for early-2000s airframes powered by Williams FJ44 series turbofans.
