The cabin in this airframe is fitted in the typical center-club executive arrangement seating six, with the belted lavatory/side-facing seat option that expands capacity to eight. Avionics for this CJ3 are the factory-standard Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21; a note of fleet distinction is that the CJ3+ variant uses Garmin G3000 upgrades, but this specific airframe carries the Pro Line 21 fit. Typical mission profiles supported by the type’s equipment and performance include short- to mid-range executive transport missions consistent with the 2,040 nm range and high-speed cruise of 416 kts. Operator base and specific fitted amenities for N450BV: Not published.

The airframe is a member of the Cessna Citation CJ3 family, designated 525B, positioned by its factory specification to provide high-speed regional executive performance with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft and twin Williams FJ44-3A powerplants producing 2,820 lbf each. These performance figures—cruise of 416 kts and range of 2,040 nm—define its niche as a light-cabin business jet optimized for single-pilot operation and efficient short-to-medium international hops. Buyer, charter demand, and specific resale or maintenance records for N450BV are Not published, though the airframe’s factory avionics and engine type are primary considerations in ownership transition and long-term maintenance planning.
