N403ND

The airframe bearing tail number N403ND is a 2008-built Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3, serial 525B0250, currently owned by Blossman Gas of North Carolina Inc, a corporation based in Swannanoa, NC, US. The aircraft is US-registered and has been identified in listings with a reported Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics upgrade; valuation notes list the airframe at approximately $8,500,000. Operator details and registry actions beyond the current corporate ownership are not published in the supplied data. The combination of model year, avionics upgrade report, and corporate ownership frames this airframe as a late-2000s light-citation configured for executive transport.

This specific aircraft is fitted with a 7-place executive cabin layout reported as forward club / aft single seats, providing a typical arrangement for corporate or VIP missions with seating for eight including cockpit crew. The listing reports a Collins Pro Line Fusion avionics upgrade, which, if installed, modernizes the flight deck for enhanced situational awareness and long-range operational capability. Typical missions for this airframe, given its 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed, would include medium-range corporate trips and charter hops operated from its owner’s base in Swannanoa, NC or nearby airports. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would reflect the twin Williams FJ44-3A turbofans’ support ecosystem and the upkeep associated with an avionics retrofit.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light business jet niche, offering transregional performance with high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling suitable for efficient enroute profiles. In the used market, examples with avionics upgrades and corporate ownership profiles—such as N403ND—tend to attract buyers seeking a modernized cockpit and reliable short-to-medium haul capability. Competing models typically include other light jets in the same performance band; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe will hinge on verified avionics installation, engine time on type, and the documented maintenance history associated with corporate operation.
