N409RP

This airframe, registered as N409RP, is a 2006-built example of the Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B), serial number 525B0072, manufactured by Cessna (Textron Aviation). The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by MH2 CAPITAL LLC of Chicago, IL, US; the current ownership is recorded to that LLC. The airframe carries the common mission equipment and interior configuration found on late-production CJ3s and has been maintained to typical corporate/charter standards for its class. No other public registry events or notable incidents are recorded in the supplied data.

The cabin of this CJ3 follows a typical executive layout: two crew plus a 6–7 passenger club seating arrangement with a forward refreshment center and an aft belted lavatory, consistent with common CJ3 configurations. Avionics fit for the airframe is the Collins Pro Line 21, a factory or retrofit option widely used on CJ3 airframes to support single-pilot or two-pilot IFR corporate operations. Operationally the jet is suited to regional and transcontinental point-to-point missions within its 2,040 nm range at a high-speed cruise near 416 kts, frequently employed for corporate shuttle, private charter, and owner-flown business missions based from its owner’s Chicago location. Routine maintenance considerations align with the CJ3 fleet—engine hot-section inspections for the Williams FJ44-3A and avionics support for the Pro Line 21 suite.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) occupies the light-cabin, high-performance segment of the business jet market, offering a balance of operating economics and runway performance for point-to-point business travel. Competing models include other light jets equipped with similar ranges and cruise speeds. Demand for CJ3 airframes is typically driven by corporate owners and charter operators seeking a reliable 6–8 passenger platform; maintenance and resale considerations focus on engine life cycles for the FJ44 series and avionics modernization paths for Pro Line 21-equipped airframes.
