N428CS

This entry describes airframe N428CS, a Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 built in 2007 with serial number 525B0165. The aircraft is owned by ALTC LLC, a corporation based in Los Angeles County, CA, US, and carries a US registration. Recorded on civil registry as held by ALTC LLC in Los Angeles County, the airframe is notable as a typical CJ3 example in corporate ownership and is valued at $5,000,000 on current market listings. No additional operators or multiple-owner history are published for this specific airframe.

The cabin of N428CS is fitted in a typical two‑crew, six–eight passenger executive club configuration, documented as an 8-seat layout that supports executive transport and light corporate missions. Avionics are consistent with CJ3 base models, equipped with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting modern navigation, communications, and flight management tasks for single-leg transcontinental and regional operations. Based on the owner’s location, routine operations and maintenance are likely conducted from Los Angeles County-area facilities; maintenance considerations for this airframe follow standard CJ3 programs for twin‑engine light business jets and would reflect corporate-operator standards and hours/cycles tracked on the individual serial. Typical mission profiles include regional business travel, point-to-point city pairs within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range, and higher-altitude cruise to the 45,000 ft service ceiling.

The Cessna 525B CitationJet CJ3 occupies the light-cabin, long-range end of the Citation family, offering a combination of cruise speed (416 kts) and range (2,040 nm) suitable for owner-operators and charter fleets. Competing models in its class generally emphasize similar cabin capacity and operating economics, driving steady demand in the pre-owned market for well-maintained, corporate-owned examples such as N428CS. Resale and maintenance considerations center on engine program status for the Williams FJ44-3A powerplants, avionics configuration like the Collins Pro Line 21, and the aircraft’s complete maintenance and records history tied to the listed serial 525B0165.
