This specific CJ3 is typically outfitted in a corporate executive interior and, consistent with the model, is commonly operated in 6–8 passenger executive configurations; the typical cabin fit for the type is a 6–7 place executive layout with an optional belted lavatory and approximately 65 cubic feet of aft baggage capacity. Avionics for the airframe are the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting typical corporate mission avionics requirements including advanced navigation, flight management, and situational awareness systems. Operationally, the aircraft’s combination of 2,040 nm range and 416 kt cruise speed supports coast-to-coast U.S. missions and regional international trips from its operator base in Jacksonville, Florida, making it suitable for owner-ops or charter deployment where speed and single-pilot or two-pilot efficiency are valued. Routine maintenance considerations align with the CJ3 fleet standard, driven by Williams FJ44-3A engine inspections and Pro Line 21 avionics support cycles.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (525B) occupies the light-cabin, light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of runway performance, cruise speed, and operating economics for short- to medium-haul corporate missions. Competing models in its segment typically include other light-cabin jets with similar range and speed profiles; buyer and charter demand historically favor aircraft with Pro Line 21 avionics and proven Williams FJ44 powerplants. For resale and maintenance, CJ3 airframes like 525B0406 attract attention for their operational flexibility and established support network, while prospective buyers evaluate engine time, avionics upgrades, and interior condition as primary value drivers.
