N44SW

This airframe, registered as N44SW, is a 2019-built Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc with serial number 525B0585. The aircraft is owned by STEEL WAREHOUSE COMPANY LLC, an LLC based in South Bend, IN, US, and is registered in the US registry. There are no published notable registry actions for this specific airframe; valuation assessments list the airframe at $8,475,000, reflecting its late-model build and CJ3+ standard equipment fit.

The cabin aboard this specific CJ3+ is fitted in a typical executive arrangement for the model: a forward four-place club, an additional side-facing seat, and a belted lavatory, with a refreshment center and aft baggage area noted in the configuration. Avionics are the standard Garmin G3000 fit for the CJ3+, supporting modern glass-panel operations, advanced flight management, and situational awareness appropriate for single-crew or two-crew IFR missions. Operated by an LLC based in South Bend, IN, US, the airframe’s performance — up to 416 kts cruise and a 2,040 nm range — suits regional business missions, point-to-point charter work, and corporate transport between mid-continent and coastal hubs. Maintenance considerations align with CJ3+ common schedules for Williams FJ44-3A engines and Garmin-equipped avionics; no additional unique maintenance history is published for this serial.

The Cessna 525B Citation CJ3+ sits in the light-cabin, long-range citation segment, offering a balance of runway performance, speed, and operating economics. With a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and transcontinental-ish range near 2,040 nm, it competes with other light jets in charter and owner-operator markets. Typical buyers and charter customers seek the CJ3+ for cost-effective short- to medium-haul trips and high dispatch reliability; resale considerations for this airframe will reflect its 2019 build, Garmin G3000 avionics, and the common-support Williams FJ44-3A engine family.
