N429CS

This airframe, registered as N429CS, is a Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) built in 2007 with serial number 525B0177. The aircraft is recorded as owned by N887JA LLC, a corporation based in Oxford, MS, US, and operates under a United States registration. The current documented ownership places the airframe with a corporate owner in Oxford, Mississippi, and registry records reflect a typical corporate-operational status rather than individual private ownership. The airframe's advertised market valuation is $2,995,000, which provides a snapshot of the aircraft's place in the pre-owned light jet market given its build year and equipment fit.

The aircraft is outfitted with a forward galley and an aft lavatory and configured in an executive seven-passenger layout (six cabin seats plus a belted aft lavatory seat), reflecting a typical corporate executive interior for short- to mid-range missions. Avionics are collated under the Collins ProLine 21 suite and include Collins FMS-3000, IFIS-5000, TCAS 4000, and Honeywell Mark V EGPWS, supporting IFR operation, terrain awareness, traffic advisory capability, and integrated flight management. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would be regional business trips and charter legs within the aircraft’s 2,040 nm range and cruise speed near 416 kts, with operations leveraging the CJ3’s capability to climb to a 45,000 ft ceiling. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific aircraft are consistent with corporate-registered jets of its vintage and equipment standard, including the upkeep of the Williams FJ44-3A engines and avionics suite.

The Cessna Citation CJ3 (Model 525B) occupies the light-cabin, longish-range sector, offering fast cruise and high-altitude capability for short- to mid-range corporate missions. Competing models in this niche include similar light-cabin jets whose buyers are driven by a balance of operating cost, speed, and single-pilot capability potential; the CJ3’s systems package and engine selection support these buyer priorities. Resale considerations for this airframe hinge on age, engine cycles, avionics standardization, and interior condition; the documented valuation of $2,995,000 situates this 2007-built example within the established pre-owned market for well-equipped CJ3s.
